    Hissing Diesel Engine

    Not as easy as a turbo hose but still not too bad.

    MAYBE you do have an exhaust brake and the switch got flipped in the cab...

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    That would be efficient, I know at least one of the turbos is variable on that truck

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    I can't find any solid info on how they work nor any real confirmation of an engine brake. This article references it in the title but not the body. Most forums are saying no brake with a few people saying there is...

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    I don't know if it provides more braking or not, but it provides enough, it's already built in, it holds the speed you set it at etc. An exhaust brake depends on rpm's to provide adequate braking. I loved my pac brake on the old dodge but I did often find as I came off the mountains I either had...

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    On a diesel there is next to no engine braking without an engine/exhaust brake. Sure they help, I'm saying the torqshift makes it not necessary, does a better job imo

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    These new ones hold you back in tow haul mode. I've come off 6 percent for 6 miles at 25000 pounds and hardly touched the brakes in my 550

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    I used to have one, loved it. Newer Ford trucks don't really need it in the auto shifters, great trannys

    Google turbo images, they mostly look the same

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    If you can't start it with the cab up just check all those hoses I mentioned. Loosen the clamp, re set the hose and tighten clamp

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    Yeah, I bet a hose slipped off or loosened up. MAYBE got a hole but generally not. You know what the turbo is?

    Hissing Diesel Engine

    Might have a turbo boot leaking. Easy fix. All the big diameter hoses coming out of the turbo, into intercooler (looks like a radiator), out of intercooler into engine. While engine is running grab those and shake them, if one is leaking at connection that's going to hiss
