Thumbs down check engine light New Turbo Needed

Well my truck sits at the dealer since Friday waiting for a new turbo.
How long should it take to get a new one ??.
Service rep says ford doesn't have any in stock and doesn't know how
long before he gets one
Gee i only have 17000 miles on my 2005 nov 04 built F350 6.0.
what else is gong to go wrong.

Sounds a little weird Ford wouldn't have any turbo in stock. Wait your service rep out then find another dealer for the next repair.

Could be worse, mine went out at 600 miles (actually driving off the lot when I bought it). Took 3 days to get the turbo. EGR went out at about 1000 miles. No problems since, but only 3200 miles so far.

Nah... ...cut & paste is easy

My truck is still original, I had the tow/haul switch replaced and a fuel sending unit updated.

the new ones have a relief cut into the housing so there wont be a problem with sticking vgt vanes. The ones I have installed have been quieter too.

Hey Strokin what could go wrong? Just keep that cam position sensor handy for your 7.3L.... I always kept one in my glove box just in case, but now I don't.

just replacing a turbo shouldnt break anything. You have the o'rings on the return pipe, and the high pressure feed line. unless someone broke one of those, no excuses
