E-Series VansTechnical discussion of topics related to vans powered by any of the Navistar engines. This covers a broad number of years, but there isn't enough demand to split it any further.
The stuff Bill mentioned and look for dirt in the intake pipe between the filter and the turbo, this is a sign of poor filter maintenance or airbox lid not sealed installed correctly between filter changes.

1999.5 F250 CC SB XLT 4WD, 7.3 PSD, First F,2nd Diesel, nice but still liked the van better.
2003 E-350 Super Duty Chateau (Club Wagon)7.3PSD, 3rd Clubwagon,First diesel, Never should have sold it....
Hey six, you mentioned 'coolant ph' test. Is that to check for the additive? I follow the service instructions and put in the required amount at the specified intervals, but have never checked ph. Is this something that I should start doing?

Yes you are correct in what you are doing, poor choice of words on my part...coolant strips measure the PH or acidity of the coolant...the test strips will tell you whether you need to add coolant additive...I just call them PH testers...
