Any luck with the video? Maybe post on utube and link it

 

Hopefully this works thanks for the suggestion...

 

I see the waste gate lever move when I hear that sound. Any way it's from that?

 

That is the vgt actuator, 6.4s don't have a waste gate from the factory.

@toren302 @kaya You guys heard this before?

Only thing I can think of is to move the actuator with your hand with the truck off. It should be stiff but move free and smooth. If you feel any grinding or catching you have turbo issues.

 

I moved the actuator and its smooth. I did notice there's a reservoir to the right of the actuator and its only showing to be a quarter full. Should the sight glass be filled to the top and what kind of fluid goes in there if so? Thanks again

 

should be ford gold.
try disconnecting the actuator electrical connector and start it up. see if the noise goes away.
it's a little buried down there. there is a locking tab that you need to slide back first. be ginger with the connector

 

I tried disconnecting the connector on the actuator and the noise was still there. It seems like the noise is coming from the alternator, any chance it can be the culprit? I will have time tomorrow to really look for the issue so any other ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

 

Could try backing the belt off. See if it goes away. Just be careful it doesn't catch and wrap anything.
You can slip the belt over the top idler pulley instead of under. That should give it enough slack to not catch, yet keep it in place without causing issue.

 

That is, for single alternator

 

Ok will do thanks a lot

 

Just wanted to give an update, the issue ended up being a bad starter, installed a new one and all is good. Thanks for everyone's help
