Wow that certainly is an extensive list of repairs. Hope they worked out all of your bugs.

^For real I hope your issues are solved. I'd hate to have problems again after all that work.

yeah, hope that it stays around the house awhile. I wasn't very happy about the plug installed in the turbo without being removed!!!! Hopefully, the turbo will be replaced the next time the have to do the cleaning. Otherwise, I'm sure ill be on the hook for the turbo replacement.


The truck runs great, I took it on the freeway friday on a 100-110 round trip& stayed about 65-75 mph with no problems..

I can see a new turbo in your future. Mine did the same thing and about 1000 miles later a new turbo. It's been about 500 miles since the new turbo and no CEL yet.

Unplug the EGR and you won't be clogging up your turbo. I got all of what you mentioned done to my rig back in June... unplugged the EGR right after and no problems since... plus 3+ more MPG!!

Dealer did all of that to my truck too, about 1,500 miles later they replaced the turbo. Of course, they said it should fix it too. But, oddly enough they ordered the parts for the new turbo without even looking at the truck. I just called them and said the CEL came back on.
