boost loss
at 60mph my boos gauge would read 7-8psi and now it reads 4-5psi. ive checked my boots, tightened the clamps checkd the line to the gauge and everything was ok. turbo sounds fine and has no play in the shaft. i had 305/70/16 tires on the truck and ended up having to put the 265/75/16 back on that came on the truck when i got it. the tire size difference wouldnt make that big of a difference on the load of the motor to drop the boost would it? this is the only thing i can think of. thanks

have you changed your air and fuel filters lately that would be the first thing i would check if i lost boost 
and maybe dropping your tire size has more to do with it then you think instead of going sixty like you think with change in tires you might only be going 54 or 55 miles an hr now and speedo still showing 60

it makes sence cuz with the taller tires i would be going faster that what the spedo says with the 265s thats about factory size so i would think the spedo would be closer with those
