Hello, I’m getting a high pitched squeal/whistle from the turbo area under high boost/load.. Truck has 531k on the odometer. Anyone know what it can be? 2013 ProStar Maxxforce 13

Could be something as small as a pinhole in the air to air.
Loose clamp.
Something of that sort.beastr123 Thanks this. -
I sure hope so.. Do you know what the OEM target boost is?

Should be around 43psi. Check for exhaust leaks, any signs of soot, can cause a whistle. Rear manifold is a suspect spot. Best bet is to use a smoke machine, every dealer should have one.

I get that on my Maxxforce all the time.
Have yet to figure out what it is. -
The tube from the turbo to the intercooler was loose. It’s held on by two metal rings thats lost its clamping force. I put two cheap hose clamps on it for now and it’s gotten much better. I’m gonna put some T clamps on it for a good air tight seal soon as I get some off time.Judge Thanks this.
