Im not sure but i was hauling a 6x12 enclosed trailer down a 6% grade for about 5 miles and i think but im not sure that the vanes stuck. It wouldn't build boost and sounded very different I pulled off to the side of the road and waited a second i got out looked at my boots cause I thought i might have blown a boot. As i crawled under the truck in the snow the sounds went away. Will the vanes sticking like that throw a code i didnt have one. Really not even sure it was the vanes?? Is this a common problem or does the torque converter lock up stick some times?? Im leaning towards the vanes but im not sure??

coasting 5 miles downhill at sub-freezing temps could freeze the EBP line

I know in the summer coming down big passes at 60-70deg, EGT will get close to ambient
