Ok, so i put in the new EBP sensor, unplug the batteries to reset the codes.

start the truck still no turbo, so i go check my exhaust, looks like its coming out blue, so **** me i think, call my mom out side, she gets in the truck, giving it gas while i record a video, now i smell like a damn weedeater, truck is smoking blue so its burning oil. wtf, this truck is cursed.

Ill post the vid through youtube

 

drop the pipe off the back of the turbo and check it for oil.

 

sorry went to dinner, but what would be causing it to smoke blue?

 

failed turbo oil seal. that why I suggest to remove trhe down pipe and have a look in it.

 

Ok, just had the turbo diassembled and cleaned, so if that failed gonna have to blame that on the tech... posting the video now.

how do i get the pipe off?

 

YouTube - 05 6.0 blue smoke

for some reason there is no sound, but the truck sounds like a strait piped v-8 without a turbo

 

nothing that I know of could be dine while cleaning by anyone to make a turbo seal fail.
it is possible to have enugh oil delution casued by coolant however to make that happen. it may not show up for a few days, weeks, miles after a egr cooler failer.

to remove the down pipe just unbold the clamp at the back of the turbo, also it will help to loosen the 2 15 mm nuts were the down pipe and cat meet

 

He took the turbo apart and checked the unison ring, etc.

I dont have a cat, and the delete pipe is welded so those two 15 mm nuts are gone

 

yes I uderstand what he did when he cleaned the trubo. what you are missing is unless he pulled the compresser wheel out (wich he did not) theres no way to damage the seal. been there done all that.
undo the clamp at the back of the turbo and push it to one side and look in it.

 

ok, ill find out, how much would it cost to fix it? ill check it in the morning after my ACTS.....

 

well a new centersection is around $800 and figure about $400 in labor to rebuild it.

 

1200 bucks, my dad is out of the country, for another 2 weeks, just put 1800 in repairs, 1300 in tires, about 1500 in other upgrades, im about to strip in down to stock, and sell it. bout done with this truck

 

For about the same price more you can just buy the new Garret Powermax turbo.

Then i would need tuning right?

Im gonna go look in junk yards, or find a reman for a core charge swap with mine, if not i dont know what to do, about to go check the exhaust pipe, the rope for this truck has been cut, its only on one thread....

 

nothing needed for that turbo but the time to install it. that is the best deal going on.
IMO if I was in need that would be were money went.
