First engine related failure
Turbo is dead. I knew this day was coming.
It died driving down the highway tonight at 55 MPH.
Plenty of power since I left the office, all of a sudden the tone of the engine changed to a 6.0L and there was no power at my disposal.
Nursed it home keeping an eye on EGT's and let it soak while I ate supper.
Started it up, let it idle for a minute and tried a few revs but no boost and no turbo whistle.
Garage actually had a very slight haze to it after the test revs so something is broken.
DPF shouldn't be allowing any type of smoke to pass.
Bummer. Now I need a rental so I can get to the airport.
Murphy's law has been in effect all day between software upgrades (IT stuff) and now my truck.
No CEL (this is shocking to me) but I found:
P132B - Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control A Performance

Ha ha, almost the same exact post, but the wi-fi here in Dubai Int. is slow today; so you beat me to it.

A few shy of 44,000 plus I have premium care so I see no reason why this repair conversation at Ford will last more than 15 seconds.
"Yes sir, we'll have it fixed in x number of days under warranty."
Truck is stock aside from mudflaps and other cool things we add to our trucks.

I'm sorry the turbo puked on you, but I've heard nothing but good things about the replacement. I think in the long run you are better off with the updated turbo. Hope you have a speedy repair
