Reply to 6.0 diesel turbo issues

Benny..Blade35...thanks for the reply & thanks to others, Tim...I live in Colonia, NJ, 07067 ..Woodbridge TWP...exit 11 off NJ TPK.
My wife has told me that when she did some research on these issues she found that there are a lot of complaints about this engine & lots of turbo problems. *EDIT* - no legal discussions please
I tow a 35' Montana 5th wheel...originally these trucks with options run about $52K-55K...I can't afford to get another...wife doesn't want to use truck anymore...doesn't trust it..I'm retired & was expecting this would be my last truck...guess not....very sad.
According to report when 1st bought in the following codes were detected...
P0404..P0611..P01335..P2617...that was when he replaced the FICM & EGR..which they said were caused by carbon from idling truck too long..
Total cost for 3 visits ..$1750.76 + 1903.18 + 2094.50 = $5748.44..that was after they said they saved me money on turbo..initial cost was supposed to be $1950...reduced cost to $1500 & ONLY $350 for labor this time....really disgusted.
