I have a '99 F350 diesel. I have recently noticed this hissing (turbine?) noise and slight loss of power only when I haul horses (approx 10K lbs). Only when I am accelerating after stopping. 1-2 seconds then back to normal. I have read through many of the posts and found similar symptoms (like that of EBPV) but different codes and I dont want to ignore the signs of something worse. Took it to the mechanic today and it threw two codes. He erased them before I wrote them down, so this might not be exact phrases:
Computer Module KAM Malfunction
Turbo Pressure Low
He told me to take it to a diesel mechanic, but I have to make a 8 hr round trip with the trailer Saturday and can barely afford the diesel. Have to make several other 16 hr roundtrips to Oklahoma in Nov. I'm hoping this truck doesnt break down on me...I am a 30-something girl that knows what all can happen when stranded out the middle of nowwhere...and pulling a gooseneck makes rescue attempt difficult! I have owned this truck since '01, never had this problem before...seemed more common yesterday when I hauled to San Antonio and back. I am planning on baby-ing it throught the weekend, and praying for a safe trip. Any ideas? Should I be worried?
