In case one wanted to know, the unfortunate Ford that I encountered along the road was a gasoline powered pickup, and not a diesel. Purty sure it was an F-150.

In reference to it sounding like a slipping auto transmission, its also like a slipping clutch in a standard/manual tranny. In that case, the engine runs faster than the tranny or vehicle.
Its kinda like a whirling or whining kinda sound. I think its something to do with the turbo but I dont know. I am lost with diesels.Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this. -
Do the badges on the truck look like this:
The 6.0's had crazy loud spool up, but it's a shrill whistle, not a whine. If it's a whine, and he's a serious gearhead and not just some punk, there's a real possibility he's running a compound setup with a supercharger and a turbocharger. Way more whine than whistle.
Or does it sound like gear whine, like when you're driving with the transfercase in low range? Then again, he could be low on powersteering fluid too, lol.Flat Earth Trucker, JoeyJunk, Grumppy and 1 other person Thank this. -
The popular turbo impeller upgrade is called a whistling wheel.
