It’s a G56 manual transmission, so not an issue with that.

Injectors, head gasket, or ?

So my 06 5.9 w/G56 is well maintained, with about 120k on it, stock everything.

A friend of mine had that issue, and it was due to worn fuel injectors. The injectors flow a certain amount of fuel into return flow normally, but as they wear that volume can increase. There are...

The one I have is marked Holset 3593384. I know it came off a 2003 HO (555) which if I recall correctly had a 3.5” pipe partway back, but maybe had a different turbo than the SO.

That is an odd pile of symptoms. The light issue I’d maybe guess the connectors under the rear of the frame.

Man, I love my mity vac. Gets all the air out, the first time, quickly.
