    It just comes down to knowing what your motor usually sounds like. If she’s whining louder than normal it’s usually a boost leak. In my experience anyway.

    I'm 95% sure my truck had a bad CAC from day one, so while I appreciate the response it doesn't help me. I usually pull grades at 27-29 psi boost, it can hit 36-38 psi when you punch it but it falls off fast to high 20s.

    New CAC and the CAC and piping holds air with acceptable minimal loss, when hooked to a pressure gauge and aired up. Cummins ISX

    Same turbo as before.

    I’m stumped... I’ll fine comb the motor again in the morning where I don’t need a flashlight...

    FYI, you can't always hear a boost leak. For the most part, the truck will be freakin lethargic. Even a small boost leak will have you way down on power. Big boost leak and you won't even be able to run the minimum speed limit on the interstate.
