how do you know the turbo isnt working? Have you taken the intake hose off and looked at your compressor wheel??

Just start by taking the intake off and examine the wheel. Look for big nicks or pieces. Then try to move it side to side. You shouldnt be able to make it contact any of the surrounding metal. It could also be something else causing you not to have any power and that would result in not hearing the turbo. IE one or more cylindars not working. Hopefully if there is something wrong it is the turbo. That would be the easiest fix.

did an intercooler hose blow off?

Guess I should ask if the problem came on gradual or all of a sudden

Inspect the wheel for play, a little side to side is ok, any in and out movement is bad. Also check your up pipes for leaks. They can rob boost power.

How many miles are on the truck? Any modifications over stock to the truck? I'm guessing you don't have a boost gauge to monitor boost readings.

We need a bit more in-depth description of the "no power" statement. Does the truck not accelerate? does it loose power at a certain RPM? We love to help but need more info.
