So i was headed home after picking up some mobile1 for the ty (it was a little low). Got her topped off and was passing my local convenient store. Low and behold the truck i KNEW was going to pull out in front of me does. So i get into the fast lane and go around the massive F350. About a quarter mile up the road i see that the female driver has mashed the throttle and passes me, only to get in front of me and slow wayyy down. On her way past me i hear the rumble and whine of an aftermarked exhaust and big turbo. So, i make my way into the fast lane and line up with her, I mash the throttle and pass the lumbering beast, to the womens suprise, and find a place to flip a bitch (i needed to turn at the stop sign but theres NO way im letting a chick in a lifted diesel think she rompped a ty).
I then realize the ty feels a little underpowerd, so i hit the gas again and low and behold im only making 5 lb's of go fast.
When i bought the truck i was only making 7 pounds so i bought a new boost control solonoid. After this problem i wasnt maintaining boost well, so i replaced every vac line in the eingine bay. Got my boost back.
Ok now im puzzled. Unless the BCS has taken a crap again im at a loss. When i filled the oil up I checked all the vac lines for a tight fit. Everything seems kosher. The only lines i didnt check were the ones run to the vac ball. No leaks from the turbo. The only issue with the motor itself has been one hell of a valve seal leak. Truck has 84k on the odo.
