Overheating temperature, not noticing black smoke, need to check. Can I check boost with my scanner? What should I see?

OK, finally got the hose off. The turbo is spinning, I can hear it, but the truck has no power and is overheating. The blades look OK, and it spins freely and smoothly. However, the wastegate control looks badly rusted. Could this be the problem? It looks really corroded, do I have a chance...

OK, got to work on it this weekend, first had to replace a leaky radiator. As part of the process to disassemble most of the front end to get to the radiator, I had to remove the air box. When I opened it up, found something I had never seen before. Take a look at the picture f the air...

going to do that next

Already installed a rebuilt fuel pump with a new actuator and new injectors

Feels like it is only at highway speeds and only sometimes. Sometimes I think it is just the pavement, but I know that isn't the case. Need to characterize whether I am going uphill or down, adding power or coasting

feels like it is coming from the back half of the truck though

Ball joints and rod ends replaced and well greased. Will recheck ball joints. Tires are a possibility, will have to have them checked.

It is a 1 piece. No carrier
