bad turbo
this last week i replaced my turbo!!! it had an internal leak that was causing the truck to ues oil an blow white smoke. also the pedistal was cracked so i had to get a new one of those.
my question is how common of a problem is this? has this happened to anyone? my rig only has 60000 miles on it. any imput would be great.

I havn't read alot about it here. If your turbo lubrication is somehow restricted, or stopped...you will have bearing seal failure eventually. But it hasn't been reported as a big issue as far as I know.
As far as a cracked pedistal...that may have been the real issue......it not feeding the turbo enough lubrication. Hope this helps.
