We got back to orings because earlier in the day the truck would start no problem, and tonight after i got off work to come home, the truck wouldnt start. So in theory this is telling me i have a leaking oring which in turn is draining the HPO reservoir. So now the truck is parked as to not take any chances in hydrolocking the engine.

Ok, i hate going back and forth like this, but when things throw a curve ball at you, it messes up a persons thinking. Anyway, i went out tonight and checked the oil level in the HPO reservoir and it seems to be good. about a half inch below the very bottom of the lid. So then i started the truck and it fired right up.
So i look back and maybe the reason it was a hard start earlier was because of the colder temps we are having here, single digits and below zero. I had plugged the truck in tonight when i got home to see if it would help, and it did. I didnt plug the truck in at work, no ability to do that. So now i think we are back to the turbo, and i will take everything off and take a look at the inside and see if there are any signs of leakage.

I've been watching this all go down with no technical advice to add. I'm with Mike does your 38r have a warranty?
I'd throw that stocker on there for sure, at least until you get it sorted out.

Lisa and Mike, im not sure what the warranty is on these units. I do know Garrett has a stringent process as far as their warranty claims. so we will see. I will be throwing the stocker on there this weekend to see how it goes.

This truck is really throwing curve ***** at me. I went to start it up this morning after being plugged in and being 8-9 degrees, and the truck hickupped and had a little issue starting, but did start, not right away tho. Hmmm, relaly gonna have to dig into this one.
