**stroken04** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-07-2009, 06:21 AM

Ok guys, my buddy broke down in Joplin, MO about 200 miles from home.

The Truck is a 2001 F350
He said he thinks his turbo seals went out.
He is trying to locate another turbo in Joplin area, because he doesnt think he will be able to limp it home.

He needs to know, what he needs to do to get the Turbo off and if there is any special tool required.

Thanks in advance
-Wes

I think your right, but I have never worked on a 7.3 so I was just wanting to make sure

Some insurance policies have towing coverage that usually doesn't have a deductible. He might check on it.

No special tools required. IIRC, you will need, a 10, 5/16, 7/16 and a 15. With some mild extensions it is possible. If it is the first time off, he will need some PB blaster.
