Hello,
2011 6.7 tuned and deleted ~80K miles
Just started my truck to go for a drive and I hear a strange whining noise. Drove a little to see if it would go away but no such luck. Noise sounds like it is coming from my turbo. I can hear it through my exhaust and it gets louder with more throttle, in gear and in park. I found a video on youtube that is the exact same noise I am hearing but the comments just said they replaced the turbo and its better now. Here is a link to the video.



Someone please tell me that this isn't a turbo and could be an easy fix. Please help ASAP!

has boost been effected? you can use a stethoscope to pin point where it is. if it's found to be coming from the turbo, then it probably does need a turbo

yea i don't like the sound of that. definitely sounds like it's coming from the turbo. i think the oe replacement is around 3-3500$ from ford and about 5hr labor.
wouldn't be a bad time to check out the '15 conversion kit. several vendors on this site sell them
if the turbo does turn out to be done, that is

oh and make sure you do an oil change after pulling the turbo. coolant floods into the crankcase from the drain once it's removed. lots of coolant.

Yeah, I am leaning towards a 15' conversion. How can I accurately diagnose this? If I need a turbo, I'm definitely not going to put a pre 2015 back in it. And I dont know any reputable shops around my area so I guess I will do the swap myself.
