Another Turbo Issue

[PwrStroke2012]

2011 6.7 H&S chip with dpf delete, and exhaust. At 40,000 miles on it turbo went out, took it back to ford and they replaced it under warranty. 3,000 miles later turbo goes out again. Hauled it back to ford and they said the seals are out of the turbo. Has anyone else had issues like these and what is the cause?

Not yet, but I'm hearing the stories about the turbo going out, stock or tuned

I've had 2 fail with less than 25000kms and no mods.Same thing though,first one failed at 18000 and second at 22000.And no explanation

[Ghagerman]

So it seems not if it gos it's when and how many times

We did have this one chipped, with the delete kit, but under further investigation the last turbo that they replaced they did not plug in some kind of sensor that is on the turbo and they broke it off on the last replacement, but regardless i don't know why this one would fail in 3000 miles, and this one will not be covered under warranty.

Mine is in shop now for Turbo replacement. 34k and no mods. Has seemed weak since 6K and had a surge since 29K. Don't know if any of that was related to turbo but hoping so. When it went down, Sudden loss of power and sounded like power steering pump whine. Oddly no smoke like when my CAT turbos have blown.
This brought to light my further concern of absence of Voltmeter and Oil Pressure Gauge. Would have been nice to help diagnose problem.

Wonder what the DPF looks like after a turbo failure.

That is Very Good Question, I will address it when picking up my truck. ... Now that I think about it though, while looking at the old turbo yesterday, it didn't have the usual appearance of slobbered oil everywhere. It just had the thrushaft wobbling around in the housing. which now leaves me wondering what all went thru the heads and valves.

Mine never pushed any oil when they failed but my friends withe the strait pipe did.

My 11' F550 failed at 30k in January and it failed again at 41k this past Saturday. It's at the dealer now...down another week...
