noise when it lugs down
one of the many things that impresses me about the 6.7 is how well it lugs...... it'll run right down to near 1,000 rpm in 6th gear and stay there till it absolutely has to shift. Like a diesel should. Well, recently, and now more frequently my truck is making some strange noises when it lugs down. It'll mainly do it if I'm towing light, like my flat trailer empty, or maybe if I have a decent load in the bed. But occasionally it'll do it empty. As soon as it lugs down low to 1,000-1,200 and pulls there for a few seconds you'll hear a couple squeaks, then a kinda chugchugchugchug noise. It immediately quits if you let off or make it shift down. It sounds like a turbo-related noise, but I don't really know. Truck only has 9k miles on it. I just know this is one of those things I'll take it back to the dealer and they'll give me the ol "we can't duplicate the problem here." Anyone else heard of this or have any ideas what it could be?

Sounds like it's lugging a touch hard.
On a seperate note, I'd love to see some pics of your pulling truck, PLEAAAAAASE ?

So I searched the TSB section at the top, and can't find the one you're pointing out in either the 2011 or 2012 section. Can someone post a link please? I just want to have it with me with I go to the dealer
Thanks

Holy CROW, I thought you had a 466 diesel, those are all over the pulling trucks.
I'd never imagine a 466 gas could pull like that!!!!
That friggin thing rips hard !
And it sounds awesome !
How much power is that sucker putting out?

Thanks...it doesn't make as much power as you might think. I'd guess maybe 500-550. It runs good, but there's guys in my class that have me beat by 100hp probably. It just depends on the track as to how good it pulls
