Thought The world was ending

So here is my truck
CFM+ Largemouth
mbrp 4" turbo back
looney tune

Its 81 degres out, driving home from work, going up a steep grade, only thing on truck is racks and a bed full of tools (probably like 800lbs).

Egt's are around 900, then all of a sudden while climbing the boost bounces from 10 to 20 and back and fourth, truck is shuddering real bad, egt's get up to 12,000's so when it stops bucking, I get over and drop my speed form the 75 i was going, to about 55, where it stays about about 900. Stays like that for about 5-10 minutes, then drives perfectly fine all the way home.

What happened, should I be worried?

So after about 30 minutes of perfectly normal driving, get home, let egts get down to about 300, then shut her down, and pop the hood, to notice a hissing coming from the passenger side. Never noticed this before, but never had a need to notice it either ya know. thansk

You mean 1,200's? Hissing might be the AC.

All are your air and exhaust tubes on tight? Did you get a CEL? What year is your truck?


May be this?
2003-05 Various Running Problems, Check Engine Light; New EBP Sensor:
Trucks built before 1-17-05 that exhibit buck/jerk, hesitation, lack of power, stalling, stumble, black smoke, surging, rolling idle, changes in engine sound at idle or when driving at a steady speed, or with the trouble codes P2263 or P0299, may have an exhaust backpressure sensor signal that is incorrect or erratic. A revised EBP sensor is available if this is found to be the case. Part number 4C3Z-9J460-A. Broadcast Message 3815.
Normal EBP signal reading should reflect atmospheric pressure with the key on/ engine off. Typically, this is 14.7 PSI/0.88-0.9 volts at sea level, decreasing one PSI/0.10 volt for every 2000 feet of elevation. It should be within 0.5 PSI of BARO and MAP sensor pressure signals.

yeah sorry 1,200

no cel

ill check the boost tubes again to make sure they are tight, but I have driven about 500 miles since i messed with them no issues.
