6.0l sluggish

Hi I was wondering why my truck is sluggish when I start driving but then it gets better. It seems like you can punch it and the turbo has some lag time. It just had the turbo replaced at ford and Ideas??

Oh ya My compass and thermosat on the roof doesnt work any ideas

need a lot more info to help you out. what year truck? how many miles? is it all stock? Can you pull any codes? any smoke out the exhaust? if yes what color? have you checked all your fluid levels? what has been your maintance routine? these trucks are very picky when it comes to maintance. you should always post this information at the very least any time you need help. let us know and we can start pointing you in the right direction.

if your truck is an 03 or 04 and your overhead display is blank pull the cover off (it just pulls straight down) then take the display off and theres a good chance theres a resistor with the solder broke off solder it back together and it should work again thats all it was on my 03 good luck
