So here's the deal. Last weekend my truck started acting weird. Had a little of what felt like a miss at about 70 mph around 2000 Rpm. However, no ck engine light. The next day I noticed the turbo would lag badly. I cleaned the EGR valve and that didn't really help. I assumed the vanes were sticking and took her out on the interstate and let her rip. This seemed to clear it up for a little while. On monday, after the temp warmed up outside, I began to get nothing from the turbo except when I held my foot in it at at around 3000 it would turn loose and boost on up. The turbo seemed not to be spinning at all. Again...Truck running fine otherwise...Guages ok and no ck engine light! I took it to the local shop which specializes in the 6.0 on tue. Was cold here on tue morning and it ran fine while I was taking it over there. They drove it for over an hour and it ran fine...Was able to get a low boost code 1 time while running it, but otherwise ran perfect. I picked it up yesterday and it ran fine on the way back to work...again the temp outside was in the 50's. After work when 75 outside it starts doing the same thing again. It is like the turbo is dead and will eventually break free and boost. When this is going on, I can not hear it at idle like I usually can. I have been told that the bearligs may be trying to seize. The thing that puzzles me is what the air temp may have to do with this situation. Thanks in advance! Truck is 05 - 6.0 no mods 172K
