A couple of comments about loading pictures here:

1. Watch the size. I load pictures in to microsoft paint and resize to 25% (from what ever my digital camera shoots) and then load to photobucket. When you bring the picture over from photobucket the picture could be too big (if not re-sized) to fit on the normal page width = really annoying. Resize and keep he pic small for use here. Or - link to a larger blown up image.

2. The reason you can't load pictures directly is they would take up WAYYY too much server space. By loading the pictures elsewhere (photobucket) and linking the image is stored somewhere else but since there is a direct link it "shows up" here.

I am no 6.4 tech (yet) so I can't offer any direct advice. If I were you I would take a chill pill, slow down for a minute, and explain what symptoms the truck is exhibiting. Note - explaining symptoms doesn't mean telling us what you think it is doing and what you think the fix is, rather what you know it is doing. Does it lack power? Is it making an abnormal sound? Does it vibrate at any speed? These are all pretty easy to tell us about.

Stay tuned. There are some really great guys here that will be able to help. It might take some time. As was said before - you're catching everyone on the evening of a holiday. Don't take it the wrong way

ok that little metal thing with the fuel and coolant lines is the fuel cooler. it has no pump or anything in it. its just a liquid to liquid cooler.

what type of sound do you hear?
is a squeel when the engine is hot?

Another round of picture thoughts-

When you upload an image to photobucket (and get through all the comment and what not pages afterwords) there will be a box that pops up with various links in it. In the middle there is one that says something to the affect of "direct link". This is what you want. Click in the box and if it doesn't highlight and copy automatically you will need to do so.

After you have the link copied you need to bring it over here. Start up a thread reply the normal way that you have done. There is a box in the top tool bar that looks like a square yellow envelope with a mountain on it. This is your picture wizard. Paste the link from photobucket in there. Thats it!

Post the reply and you're good to go.

Must go to sleep, alarm goes off in less than 7 hours.

The sound is like a fan that is hitting against something. Like when you were a kid and you put a card on your bike wheel and then rode around with it clicking if that makes any sense at all. Thank You

The sound is always there even when you first start it up. However, the sound only happens when you give it gas it doesn't do it when it is just idleling.

man thats a tough one. if you cycle the key the accuator rod for the turbo should move. you should also be able to move the accuator rod by hand with the key off. that is the only thing I can think of right there that would be an issue.

The box has two hoses coming out of it on the front side. So what would be making the noise when you give it gas then. I'm stumped
