Trucks acting up

Huckleberry · #1 (**permalink**) 04-14-2011, 09:43 PM

So I have an 04 6.0, no perf mods. whats its doing is losing all power while driving. I will be cruisin on the highway at 70mph and it will feel has if something is tugging on the truck and its all I can do to get it to do 50

Pulled EGR:fine, no codes, drove with scanner hooked up and all operational data appears to be within specs, now tonight driving home I am getting the "turbo fart" sound on decell after accell from 25-30???????? This has been going on for about 2 wks and I am afraid to tow my camp trailer that I need to use. I have only about 1000 miles on air and fuel filters and only use Motorcraft filters. Any help is appreciated.

A faulty ICP connection/ICP Sensor can cause power surges. Check to make sure you have a solid connection.

I will check it this morning, I replaced it about a year agoo with updated connector but I will go back there. Thanks for your input.

the turbo fart at 25 to 30 mph is not that abnormal, i can make mine fart at about 15 mph, thats due to more boost, but on the highway if its loosing power it could possibly be an injector too. just another suggestion

I would think about cleaning the turbo.
