Its your head gasket. Mine did the same thing. Bone stock no airbox no nothing. Took some lookin but they found it. The only way was to pull a vacuum on it.

Got my truck back from Ford and the same old B/S. It originall went in for tsb on windows. since i had limo tints on it they did a coutosy thing and repaced the tints for me also. Got the truck back and the tint is not limo it is a cheap *****ty tint they put on. now i have to deal with this issue about my tints.

Anyway that is not the biggest thing. they didnt fix my whine i told them about all they did was replace the egr cooler. Noise is still there and now a new freakin noise. At around 1800rpm about 30 mph in light throttle it sounds something like a weed whacker coming from the engine. i dont know what to do i wanna stranggle the dealer. Called them up want the tech to take a ride with me so told them that they want me to go down saturday morning and take a ride with the tech.

Also let me add this is the second time for same problem and both times i told them do a pressure test it might be the H.G. You guys think they did? Apsolutely not. Will tell them again maybe third time is a charm. I HOPE. Also noticed fingerprint all over the hood and a new scratch they must of added, have to yell at them for that. And let them know i noticed there are bubbles in the degasbottle when it is in high idle there are bubbles like someone is blowing into the bottle making bubbles. \

Anyone with suggestions??? Please???

third time is a charm. Meet the diesel tech. awsome guy, very helpful. also new service advisor. The old one was feeding me all the b/s. anyway got my tuck back tech. Said he doesn't think it is my heads b/c no signs of it being HG.



Anyway took it in monday morning changed out my turbo updated my comp. tightended some bolts and made sure pedistal was positioned correctly. Picked it up went for a drive with him. No noises at the time. The new noise was gone, (vibration sounding noise at 16-1800 rpm). as for the other whooo whoooo tea kettle noise it wasn't as pronounced. started it up this morning and it was still there. Apparently this noise can be heard more when it is cold and at normal opp temp. it could be heard but not as much. Today driving home the other vibration noise came back. Gonna bring it in when i get some spare time again to figure this prob. out. Anyone have any idea???

I'm tellin you dude.....its your head gasket. Mine did EXACTLY the same thing. It would only do it when it was really cold out. Have them pull a vacuum on it. Its a minor leak around the back of the motor. The gots to take the cab off to fix it.

PS I've even got the exact same truck as you.... '07 Outlaw 350 with 4" exhaust and ProComp 35 X 12.50

the turbo fart is acually the turbo coming to a complete stop thats why you dont get the quick throttle responce so the boost is coming thru the turbo backwards which is bad for the egr ! This is what ive heard but not sure

Zss, why exactly is it that the tech is saying that it is not HG? Give us some more detail as to exactly what he has told you and the reasoning behind why he doesn't think it HG.

Its hard to argue a point without all the details.

Here is what my SM told me. They put a pressure gauge on the coolant system, then run the truck at WOT for a short period monitoring the pressure building up in the coolant system. If the reading is in excess of 12psi then it is obviously HG. Mine had a reading of 19psi. Hence the reason for the pukeage....

He told me since there are no signs he does't think they are but he could be wrong. He checked for coolant leak, overflow of degas bottle, and pukage came back all positive no signs. now i dont know if he did a coolant pressure test. when i bring it back i will ahve to ask him. It could verywell be the HG but again i also see no signs of them going.

Also let me add that the two noises went away when i picked up the truck couple days ago and the next morning the noises came back but not as pronounced as before. i am gonna drive for a couple days with this and see what happens.

Ok here is the diagnosis. Did a pressure leak test. Came back positive meaning no leaks. Also changed the Turbo and adjusted the pedestal mount. And still noise. The tech at the dealership said there are no signs of it being heads (followed all the fords' procedures for head problems). Does anyone have any idea of what this noise could be?? Or any pointers on how to pinpoint this noise??

[quote=OATS;5662377]Yes, if you haven't been following along from the beginning, this thread is getting confusing. As far as I'm concerned the turbo fart (see video) and the beer bottle whistle are two separate issues. My '06 30K-mile truck has never hiccupped as exhibited in the turbo fart video. I would never accept that condition and would be all over the dealer for a fix. The beer bottle whistle started maybe 6 or 8k ago and was intermittent, only doing it when pulling large hills or similar. It gradually has gotten to the point where it does it all the time when applying throttle and letting off. Just like the name it sounds like blowing air over an open beer bottle. Truck runs great and has never puked. Whether this sound is "normal" or not, I do not like it and will be taking it to the dealer to be diagnosed. I have delayed in hoping of gaining some insight prior to my dealer visit. I hope some of you out there are not mistaking the whine of the turbo as the whistle some of us are speaking of.

Hey Oats I took my truck to the dealership based on your post(I was having the same issues you are) And lo and behold... The cab is in the Air as we speak getting new heads put on! Thanks for your 2 Cents on the issue because if I wouldnt of read all of your replys I would of thought it was normal. Mike

Where to find a good shop!

Been awhile since I have posted, ride my bike mostly all summer. I was in the early "beer bottle" posts. My truck (04 f-350 6.0l) does the whistle real regular any more, from the acc. to de-acc. cold weather its more noticeable. Coolant resivor drops inch or so, often. I have coolant/oily krap on the under side of my hood. Seem to have to turn over longer than my '05 stock, less mileage 6.0l (wifes ride) and last winter when it was colder than FFFF my heater only worked off and on. Worked for a little bit then stops, then might come back on for a little bit. Doing the same thing this fall. My ol'lady says the wagon ('05 Excersion) (sp) is doing similar things when she is at idle, no heat.
Took my truck to dealer last season, charged me $90 bucks to tell me they couldnt hear the noise. Put it on the computer and said that everything was fine. I know theres something wrong. I didnt whistle when it was new and it sure as bell didnt leak/blow/consume fluid when it rolled off the lot.
Does one keep go'n around to different dealers dropp'n $90 bucks a-pop to have some yeahoo tell you theres nothing wrong? I have 73k on the truck and I wolud love to get it fixed before warranty runs out!
What the best way to find a good diesel wrench w/out the trial-n-error?

Lil, what method are they using to check/test for the coolant loss/HG failure. That is exactly what mine was doing and it was definitely HGs both sides and one of the heads was warped and had to be replaced. Get it fixed before the big 3 go under because mine would have been a real pricey touch. Longer crank time could be due to lack of compression or HPOP fitting failure, which I had as well at about the same mileage as you.

You have two choices, find a good dealer or a good lawyer.........
