Help !! Blown Turbo
Hi All. I am steve in the UK.
Out today in my HD 04 6.0 powerstroke. 120 mile round trip.
Kicked down to overtake a car ( just as normal) "massive bang" sounded like a gun, and belowing out black / grey smoke. I assume I blew the turbo.
Pulled over as soon as possible. I had engine oil coming out of the join on the exhaust under the front seats and out of the rear silencer. I left for a few minutes, started it quickly and heard a nasty rattle. switched off and got a tow truck home. Has anybody experienced this before.
slightly more worrying was I checked the dipstic because when i lifted the bonnet there was a real smell of burning oil and smoke was coming out out the dipstick tube too.
Thanks steve.
forgot to mention i didnt get a reading of oil on the dipstick.
I did check the oil two weeks ago.
Also no sign of oil coming around the engine block.

help blown turbo
If we unbolt & remove the turbo will the truck run!!
at least I can add to the oil and hear how it runs.
I am wondering if it was the fan or impeller rattling on the turbo!
does that make sense.
thanks

Now as far as computer diagnostics, error codes, what have you, a Navistar dealer would be lost as a goose, as the computer and other whatnot like that is purely propriatary Ford. You dealer is going to have to do that part, or get the equipment to do that part.
Hope This Helps

Thanks guys.
The truck is at a lock up compound. I am up there tomoro and im gonna
fill up with oil just to see how much it takes. The block and all the engine compartment and underneath is bone dry. The oil that was lost came thru
the exhaust and when I pulled over there was only a pool of a pint or less
under the middle of the truck. I did notice that when I started up after pulling over that the oil pressure went straight up as normal.
the friend who lived nearby ,drove over where it happened and there was no sign of oil anywhere. I have today located garage who apparently know these
trucks like the back of there hands so ill arrange to get it off to them.
thanks again.
Ill pursue the warranty if its major engine fault.

i bet you money the shaft is broke in the turbo. take off the intake and poke at the compressor wheel with your finger. you will see damage if there is any. if nothing there, the impeller may have come off and is in the down pipe. dont panic if there is metal missing, had one with the same issue and no major problems.

Thanks for the last reply.
Went to the truck with oil today in took 1 1/2 litres.
Filled up & started truck and the engine sounds as sweet as normal.
So you are probably right. Can anybody tell me the best place to source
a turbo in the US so I can order and hopefully get back on the road asap.
thanks again steve.
