    drivetrain question

    No this is not a wobble. I have had lifted trucks all my life and I know what ur talkin about . This is much different. If ur riding in the driver seat its like a up and down hop not a side to side like tires would do. Its like the driver seat is in the middle and the front and rear are hopping...

    Turbo Question

    ok its a hissing whine noise. Im not sure if the FICM would cause anything or not. Maybe its just coincedental but I do not remeber my turbo sounding like it has disengaged before.

    running out of fuel?

    Ok got it tested and no codes. The guy told me it sounded like fuel was puddling out of 1 or maybe two injectors. Burnt the tank down to about 10 gallons of fuel. Put in a can of Sea Foam and Diesel injector clener. Let it idle for about 3 hours and shut it down. Woke up the next morning w/o it...

    A/C issues

    Still haven't figured this thing out. Driving me crazy. Turn A/C on it comes out the defrost, turn off then back on it comes out the face and sometimes face and defrost. If you push any of the buttons it just automatically blows out of the defrost.
