OK, long story short, $800 tow from the boonies, (thank god NOT from the top of the mountain , 45 km from the HWY, where I HAD BEEN).
Ok what is going on?
I heard a loud whistling / shrieking noise, it rose and fell with throttle applications. Sounded like the turbo to me.
I was able to limp the truck off the FSR and onto the HWY, and it had some power but was pretty weak. Limped it close to a little village and then it puked oil (about 1 liter) from the tube that goes into the turbo, but possibly from the side the of the turbo too.......I wont know until I remove parts to see better.
Oil pressure light never came on and I barely lost a liter of Mobil Delvac ESP Synthetic............It only pukes oil when engine runs, and engine runs FINE (normal operation sounds). Just has a whistle turbo (loud) and spit out oil. Also, on the side of the road where it brokedown, I did unhook the turbo vaccumn modulator, that REDUCED the whistling/whining but DID NOT eliminate it.
CAC hoses / air cleaner tube are fine, no rot, no splits, no leaks. Intercooler has no holes in it FYI. Engine runs like a hot darn with normal operation, except no power and the turbo shrieking
edit: codes i pulled - NOTE: MAY BE RELATED TO ME PULLING VAC LINES OFF THE turbo solenoid
P0045-BOOST PRESSURE SOLENOID EXCESSIVE CURRENT.
P0045-BOOST PRESSURE SOLENOID OPEN CIRCUIT .
P0299-BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR POSITIVE DEVIATION
sigh....more pisssed i had to call my dad for a loan for the tow bill. .
Mine started making a noise on a cold day, I suspected the turbo. I will pull the hose and see how my turbo is for side to side, and end play. I did buy a new hose because I know the OE one cracks, or it may crack when I remove it.
No power loss at this time.
