Will I have problems??
As some of you may know im active duty U.S. Navy. I was reading a thread that talked about how turbo's were having problems if they sat for to long. Well right now im on shore duty so its not a problem. But, In a few years when I go back to Sea Duty my truck will sitting untouched at times from 2 weeks to over 6 months.. Now to add to all this. My 3/36 runs out about the time i get back to sea duty.. so is there anything i can do to try and prevent problems with my turbo or am i just $#$#$% !!!!!!
Thanks

your profile lists an 06 truck. if this is correct, you should be ok because they started putting these redesigned turbos on in late 05. just sneek it onto the ship and them just do some awesome burnouts on the deck!
