air bleed off
I am new to the 6.0 world. I picked up a 03 f350 a few weeks ago. I am still learning all of sounds and feel of the truck.
One sound I am wondering about is when stopped I sometimes hear what sounds like an air pressure relief valve opening for a 5 seconds at a time. Not like air brakes but more steady. It does not always do it. Very random.
From my reading here these turbos do not have a wastgate is that reason for the sound?.
Is sound this normal?
Thanks
Eric

Depending on your exhaust you could be hearing the turbo veins cycling, especially if your truck has the latest ford flash. The veins are cycled to keep them from sticking. Other than that I don't have a clue.

I'm confused
