Sometimes turbo boost, sometimes not....help
Hi to all the 6.0 experts. Recently when I start my Ex I never know whether the thing is going to run right or not. It starts and idles fine. But about every other time I drive it, it feels like there is no turbo boost. I can push the pedal to the floor (gradually) and it makes no difference. The last time it did this I drove about 30 miles to work and it was like that the whole way. The next time I drove it, it ran normally. It is totally stock. Any ideas?

Do you get any trouble codes? I had a bad turbo replaced at 12k. I didn't notice any difference in the way it drive but I did get a trouble code.
I understand it is a pain in the but to replace the turbo. Mine was replaced by the dealer the same day under warranty.

It is still under warranty but I wanted some ideas before I take it in. The warranty is almost over, 400 miles and 3 months remaining. The dealer sometimes acts shady.......
