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
I have not driven it hard enough to build much boost. I just went around the neighborhood a little bit and took a video. I will see if I can upload. It sounded like a pissed off cat in heat.
Most likely the turbo. It's a known issue with the 11s. It's the ceramic ball bearing which causes I weak point. But I would definitely get it fixed soon before it cause more damage
well there is no warranty left so I think I will go aftermarket if that is the case. Has anyone else had these same symptoms with their turbo? I just don't want to take it into ford for them to diagnose it and cost me a ton of money.
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
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.
tore it apart and found shaft play. ordered a 15' towmaxr and a 15' injection pump to match it.I will update when it gets here.
