Hi All -
Picked up an old f350 dump body 7.3l psd. 63,000 on the engine. Truck seems to be running well, however sometimes I hear what sounds like an loud air leak while driving. Hard to tell exactly where it is coming from while I am driving, but best guess is below the drivers seat. This of course could be mis-leading.
Only happens when I am on the gas very lightly -- engine is usually between 1000 - 1500rpm's, so barely any gas --- sometimes when slowing down to make a turn, just before accelerating through it. The sound starts -- again, like an air compressor venting air --- and will go away if I let off the gas for a second and accelerate afterwards.
I have two 6.0's and am very familiar with that engine but don't know anything about the 7.3 any thoughts?
thanks!
