Wastegate????
I have a 2000 Ford F250 7.3. Every morning when its below 40 degrees all night my truck makes a terrible racket while it warms up. Sounds like the wastegate is opening and closing. The sound is constant and regular pattern. It also continues when driving for a quite a while. This is after a 20 minute warmup in the driveway. when it happens while driving it does affect power. Not only is this aggrevating but I have a 6inch straight pipe exhaust so it is LOUD!!! What can I do to stop this from happening. I live in NC so coldest is usually in the teens and the truck is plugged up under 35 degrees. Any help would be great. Thanks
