    I am new to this owner operator ordeal and I am currently buying 2015 freightliner cascadia evo and it has the DD15 in it. Make a long story short I had a load going to South Carolina and my truck was running fine now that I picked a load up from South Carolina and it’s supposed to go to Arkansa but I am currently stuck at the petro in Atlanta ga well the issue I’m having is the truck idles fine and i can get the rpms up just fine but when I put it in gear and press down on the fuel petal then I loose air plus a lot of air pushing out of the passenger side and you can also here the whistling noise as well and the code that popped up on my dash was spn 102 fmi 18 so If anyone can tell me as to what I am suppose to do I would greatly appreciate it thank an advance

    So what’s the problem problem, is it the losing air to quick to move or the turbo making a mean whistle?

    Isn't that the way you are supposed to do it when you go to Select Trucks ( or Paccar Leasing, or Arrow, or International Certified)? Row after row after row of truck tractors, all 3-4 years old, all with about 360-380k miles, mostly automated manuals, mostly driven by any number of inexperienced drivers who abused them, all the pretty colors of the rainbow, all with the decals of mega carriers removed, all have been detailed inside with enough Armor All to float a battle ship. Some have "brand new rubber"(recaps), "100 % brakes", absolutely the cheapest easiest mechanical item to replace on a truck, "30 day warranty on the emission system(read the fine print, supplies parts only, labor on you)
    In other words there are a dozen reasons why most of the major trucking companies have decided to shorten their trade cycles from 5-6 years and 500-600k miles down to the present lower numbers. The trucks are ticking maintenance time bombs being dumped on the market to unsuspecting secondary customers who are going bankrupt trying to keep them running.
    All the major OEM's have a remarketing organizations listed above to get rid of the units for the original customers. Select Trucks is owned by Daimler, Arrow is owned by Volvo.
    Have fun. I will keep my 2000 Freightliner thank you.

    Sounds like you have a big boost leak somewhere, that could of damaged the turbo. I’m not sure, but maybe it’s just whistling like that right now because it’s not a sealed system.

    Check the boots, piping, in and out of the turbo for tightness, holes, basically you want no air escaping. Common places are around clamps. If you idle the truck, you should be able to go out there and feel around where the pipes, boots and clamps are, your feeling for air being pushed out. If you find one that’s super serious, it should be super obvious.
