I'm on my third turbo with 19K miles on th e 2005 F350,, two diferent dealers and they both had turbos instock,, one in Florida and one in Missouri,, just had the third one installed last week,, in one day to install and out the next,, no indication of any shortage of them here in Missouri,,
Dealer knew nothing about any type of change or improvement Garret has made to the turbos to help their life cycle,, personally I think they are a real POS,,

Was the only clue to the demise of the Turbo was lack of power? Did it still create boost? Did it still give you the f-16 Whirr under throttle? Curious.
Maybe because I have sit and read a BUNCH of problems with the 6.0L is the reason I would swear mine has lost power from the day I brought it home. Paranoia?

Maximum4x4, Sorry. I was under the impression that you had turbo trouble in the past and I was trying to determine what lead you to the realization..a trouble code or a performance issue. This is my first diesel and I am not sure what the warning signs. (other than the check engine) Since I bought this thing used, I am seriously contemplating letting one of the local Diesel Shops do a "run-through" and check `er out.
That might be the best thing. At least maybe it will ease my mind, eh?

Welcome 350DRW to the site. Did you buy this truck used from a dealer or from a private individual. I would have a Ford dealer check it out for you. Ford has come out with an updated Turbo for these trucks as off 11-28-05. So if you have any issues with it better have it checked out while under warranty. How many miles on this truck? Another reminder always use a fuel additive in the 6.0. A cetane improver is what your lookin for. Ford makes such an additive an recommends its use.

Well, it was a dealer, but not a Ford dealer.
the truck is a '05 and now has 93k. I have been toying with the idea of the extended warranty if it is still possible and yes, near 100% on letting a Ford dealer run it through.
As far as additive, I haven't put fuel in it without a dose of "Power Service" (grey) hitting the tank.
Like I said, I might as well be staring at a B-2 when I look under the hood, but I am quickly trying to make up for that....

The main thing that it has a cetane improver you should be alright. Sounds like that truck is used every day you should be alright. Extended warranty might not be a bad idea but be care full on where you buy it from. A lot off these companies are here today an gone tomorrow making the warranty worthless.

Turbo probs
I had to get a new turbo for my truck at about 11,500 miles. It took 3 days or so to finally get it in and a day to do the swap. Now i am at about 23,800 miles and my check engine light is on again. No clue on what is going on. I have also been through 2 EGR valves and sensors, 2 EBP sensors and a cleaning of the EBP tube. I feel your pain bro. Good luck.

well the saga continues.
The turbo has been replace and the oil leak fixed with a new o-ring and cap for oil filter, But now they say that i have some bad injectors, Truck was running ok just no turbo boost all the time when i brought it in.
What could have happened to it now,
Could they have done something to screw it up when they reflashed it for there recall???
this is turning into a nightmare.

i would try to have another dealership try to look at it if it is under warranty just to see what they say ya know. If you do have bad injectors i hope it is still under warranty, or you will have to pay around $250.00 to $300.00 per injector plus labor and tax........OUCH!!!!

and yes i will use another dealer next time but for now they still have my truck, and it's day 13. But i do have a rental car that they are paying for.
The Service Rep call today and now they claim they talked to ford and the problem is a bad wiring harness not the injectors and will be fixed by thursday morning. O'well life goes on.

I'm not the warranty guru so I may not be right on it. 100,000 is the engine, internal not bolted on the outside. 3-36 for all other parts. Emission related recalls or TSB's should be covered free of charge. The check engine light can be many things. Asking for the $100 deductible before the service technician has identified the problem is not proper business procedure.
