Your Turbo is not providing boost.
The 2003 Ford F250's never came with a 7.8 diesel ... they did however come with a 7.3 diesel turbo charge and are good engines. As for transmissions , all depends what kind ... manual or automatic ?
The 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 which was made from 1994 to 2003, produced 295 horsepower.
7.3 turbo takes 12 quarts
12 quarts
Built in turbo? That would be your answer. You have the TDI engine, huh? Great engine. Is this your first new diesel? If it's a turbo diesel, you probably have a leak in the boost.
