my truck does the same thing.. But more regularily since I tow so much. It gets really bad when my tranny gets hot and starts to "conserve itself" by shifting quicker and harder. I say conserving itself because that is the only thing I can think of why it shifts so darn hard when it is hott!! I asked the dealer and he had no idea but there are other problems with my tranny also. but I will leave it at that. so I do think it is a bad thing but don't know what I can do for it. personally I would be happy if the turbo goes because I could finally get my wastegate to work properly with a new turbo. Mine always squeeles untill it gets up to 35psi when it opens for the first time then it will shut up untill I turn the truck off. then all over again..... bad turbo bad turbo no bark!!!!

My father-in-law is getting to the age that anything in the turbo pitch frequency is bothersome to him as well. Pray to God I'll never get there!
