Back in May I opened a thread concerning the loss of power in my 2003 Freightliner/Sprinter motorhome.

Since that time I have had 900 miles of trouble free driving. I cleaned the ERG about 500 miles ago and carry materials to repair the intercooler hose on the road. On my way back from Ohio this weekend I had the problem again in the mountains. I was in cruise control and just lost power going up hill. Down hill and level areas I had no problem doing 65-70 MPH. I found a safe place to pull over and turned the RV off and back on . All was well again. So, I took the RV into the Dodge dealer today and had them do a DBRIII scan for codes. This is what they found.
Fault Code 1470-016
Turbocharge Wastegate Solenoid Positive Deviation
0x147010
Speed 2872 (RPM?)
Boost Pressure Spec 30.4 PSI
Boost Pressure Sol 74.9%
Boost Pressure 26.4 PSI
ATM Pressure 18.6 PSI
Injected Qty 59.7 mm3/strk
Mileage 53539
Fault Freq 2
The dealer had no clue what to do with this information. Any help in pinpointing the source of my intermittent problem would be appreciated. I will be heading to Syracuse, NY on Thursday, and I’m afraid that one of these days I’m not going to be able to reset myself out of LHM.
Thanks,
Dan
