well it has been bursting what sounds like air against the firewall and the truck even stock could walk away from my dads 04 not no more. took it to huskstorf diesel by my house one of the guys agreed with me about the lack of power his idea was turbo or an injector problem without ripping it apart. i did reaseach the forum and found an EGR block mit fix the blowoff problem. the trans has limped once in level 5 so maybe tans is slippin too.

If the truck came in with a "bursting" noise, I may ask that the orginal air intake was put back on, but nothing on the exhaust. Mostly just to eleminate anything stupid would be the reason. While you may know that it dosnt effect it, as a tech that really dosnt get paid a whole lot by warranty to run down noises and paid nothing if it ends up being something you added.

And you will have more problems from diesel techs that arnt into mods than ones that are. Personally I dont care if something has been changed as long as its not the result of the problem. If it is the problem of something thats been added, its a pretty bad taste in the mouth when you spent an hour on it for free.

Rough on both sides sometimes. Thats why its hard to find guys that will work on diesels because of the longer warranty and a lot of guy cant meet the time payed to do the job and end up loosing.
