Just another point to throw in, (correct me if I'm wrong...) the early 99's have a different turbo that is the same as the "wicked wheel" so you may already have that.

That is correct, the early 99's have the "wicked wheel" from the factory, smaller turbo, but they spool up faster.

I have Just noticed a weird noise when I let off the accelerator pedal also. Kind of like a referee's whistle or maybe a rattle. Is that the noise you hear?

Kind of. I almost want to check the turbo as it sounds like it is a little loose as pressure is released.

I got this from the 7.3L Turbocharger Guide:

NOTE:
The exhaust backpressure device during its normal function will change the sound of the engine,
in cold ambient conditions. Some vehicle operators may not understand the function of the device. Refer to

cold weather operation in the Owner's Guide Supplement to the Owner's Manual. Refer to SSM 16697.

This may be my noise.

Im about 45 mins south of Tampa, we cant be too far from eachother.
I have been working alot of hours also, but my boss lets me work on the truck while on the clock when things are slow.
I guess it helps that we both bought got bit by the "mod bug" we both have Dp Tuners, intake, exhaust and gauges on our trucks...

I have trans temp, and pyro gauges so far, but havent hooked them up yet.(just got them last week) The plan is to do it this weekend??? I plan on getting a boost gauge soon, but this week my extra money is going for two new tires. (glad they arent as big and $$$ as yours)
