Turbo problem
Hi guys. I have a 2006 F-550 that gets driven often, weights 18,000 at all times so the vanes on the turbo get a good workout. Truck has 33,000 miles. Heres the issue. Lately it seems like the vanes stick once in a while. All the sudden I'll have no boost, truck won't accelerate, and it will stay like that for up to a minute, several gears, invariably on a hill most often. Then I will get a big woosh and the truck will overboost for a second and then settle in normally. Anything easy I can do to fix this, have I got to take it in. I really don't want to take it in since it runs really well in every other way. Thanks.
