i have a 2005 dually that works very well except that the turbo boost seems to vary alot.when empty their are no problems but when i have a heavy trailer behind it the turbo boost will only get to about 18lbs in 5th gear but in 4th it will go to 30.whats up with this?

We do know that the engine is limited to 520lbs torque in 1st and 5th perhaps this is how they limit it. I am not really sure.

While I do not have a boost gauge, I can guess that it is part of the detuning that LLY's have built into the ECM.
On LLY's 1st and 5th gear are 300HP/520TQ according to GM. Only 2,3,4 are 310HP/605?TQ.

i think that is the stupidest thing. gm should just upgrade the trans alittle bit to hold the extra power.
