03 towing troubles
I have a 03 6.0 with a banks 6 gun and intercooler. When I tow my boat or drive for a long distance the turbo sounds like it shuts down after I stop the truck. It also loses power under a heavy tow or in hot temps. Living in Florida I get plenty of hot days. Sometimes I hear some type of a blow back sound if I am towing also. I hate to sell it since it is paid for but I can not tow any long distances.

Do you have gauges to monitor EGT (Exhaust Gas Temps)?
Are you towing on the tow tune or something higher? |

towing in tow tune. I do have gauges and the egts never exceed anything high. The check engine light comes on and it sometimes gives me an exhaust or turbo code.

Are you losing any coolant?

Black Smoke
I'm new to the forum. I bought an 03 6.0L and I hauled my 30 Ft camper today for the first time and noticed black smoke and some loss of coolant. The black smoke wasn't continuous and I thought I heard a weird noise coming from under the hood. My first thought was the Turbo but I'm no mechanic and no engine light. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
