turbo problem (help!!!!)
Anyone else have this problem? About 3 months ago my truck would occasionally make no boost when i started it in the morning (-10C) and didnt change with time untill i turn it off and on a few times. 3 weeks ago i was actually able to make it to the dealer while it was doing it and they verified it. they cleaned the turbo, boost tubes, and cooler, and guess what 2 weeks later it is -10c here and when i started it after work 2lbs of boost for the first 20 min. turned the truck off then back on and now i get 20. any one know what is causing this. Thanks in advance for you help

If the egr sticks open at low rpm then no boost. Try unplugging it when the truck is warmed up and running good. Shut the engine down then unplug it because the egr is always closed when the engine is shut off. Then on the next cold morning give it a try. At least it will eliminate one other possibility.

The only way I know is to user a can bus scanner the kind the dealers have where they can actually command different functions for the engine.

they replaced it and it seems alright so far.
