Normally you would think that if you could figure out a way to make oil you would be able to retire but in this case rather than making money I have a feeling I'll be spending alot....

OK coming home about the last 2 miles the truck seemed to be running a little hotter but running fine. (about 800 at the manifold & 650 post turbo)

Pull off the interstate (my exit) and start to drive the last 3/4 - or mile home and it sputters a little and the temp goes up a little more (1100 at the manifold & 750 post turbo) still running fine but check engine lite comes on.

Back into the drive get out and find oil on the driveway, tail gate, and undercarriage.

Check the oil and its full,.... Codes - fuel delivery error and low oil pressure.

Oh and the turbo sounds like someone threw a bag o marbles in her.

Long story short, obviously an injector hung open and I toasted the (fairly new) turbo but what else should I be looking for?

Also I'm likely either going to rebuild the turbo (if possible) or go new but either way I was thinking of other options that may spool quicker while moving the same amount of air.

Any thoughts?

When you find out which injector(s) hung open I'd want to get a bore scope into that hole and see what if any damage was done to the piston/cylinder. Are you sure it just gave way all at once? When's the last time you checked your oil level???
