Hi guys,
My '00 7.3 is making a sucking noise when under partial throttle. When I 1st start the truck, it won't make the noise til it goes into high idle. Then you can hear it start to suck (the noise almost sounds like it's coming out the exhaust pipe). It will make the sucking noise on and off (1 second on, 1 second off, in a steady pattern) until the truck warms up. At that point, the sucking noise will be continuous. When driving the truck, it will make this noise once I touch the throttle (takes about a second to start after throttle, and starts quiet and gets louder, as if a valve is opening over 2 seconds time) until I either accelerate hard or get about 1500rpm.
The noise sounds like it's coming from the left, rear side of the engine bay (as looking at it). It's not my intake, nor my tune. Doesn't sound anything like an exhaust leak. I would think turbo but it boosts well and doesn't throw any codes.
One thing that was suggested to me was a leaky waste gate, which I'm going to replace anyway. But I still wanted to see what you all have to say.
Thanks!
AJ
