Spring break 2016 & mechanical issue
#1
Wink 

We left WI Thursday night in the snow, pulled in for an overnight at a truck stop in South Bend (more snow/sleet) and arrived at Greenbelt Park, MD yesterday.

We're planning on exploring the DC area with the kids until Wednesday morning, then heading up to Gettysburg for a few days before heading home.

I'm having an issue with my 8.3 Cummins, if I keep it under about 15-16 psi boost, it is fine, go over and it will drop down to almost nothing, then rise / fall.  Fine running down the road, but long hills kill me.  EGT is fine, no smoke, fuel drops when the boost falls.
I suspect a hole in the waste gate actuator, I'm planning to plug the line to test.

Anyone have another likely suspect?

Thanks

Scott
