You know every now and then we get someone who comes on here that has their loyalties in another site, they see what type of site we have going here and they get jealous and post rude comments, wishing their home site could be as nice/civil and informative as ours.

Hey now, what gives man, I can't believe that this went from someone looking for advice about there truck. To all this, I mean I understand Scuffy's and the other techs point, I understand being frustrated with dealerships and trying to get a truck fixed. I think we have all been there at one point and time.

Let's just move on and try go get some advice to the guy about his truck. I mean that is what we are all here for anyways isn't.

Say what you want sir, join date has nothing to do with how long I have been around, and I am like most, a member on other sites as well.
I chose this site for seveal reasons, mainly the civility.

I am a building contractor..sometimes a thankless job..there are alot of fly by nights that give builders a bad name..when someone speak of an 'injustice' or a dislike of a contractor..its usually justified.
From the looks of your attitude I'd say it's you they are talking about.

WTF how stupid does he think I am!?
so heres my question. a stock intake is about 430 bucks because I don't have one and I don't think my buddys 07 6.0 intake will fit or else I would switch it to get my truck fixed. or should I tell nick F U just do a ka test on my truck to make sure it is the turbo and pay them for their time and buy a new turbo out of my own pocket and put it in myself?
oh yeah stats... my truck is an 03 6.0 with intake and exhaust.thats it. and I was towing about 9k pound toy hauler when I was stranded. no power loss when not towing....P132B is sticking or stuckturbo charger
please let me know what you guys would do. oh yeah new turbo from stealership....about1400 bucks.

Well if your that fed up with the dealership. You can A. find a new dealership to go to. B. buy an aftermarket turbo for your truck. C. remove turbo clean it yourself and reinstall it. D. sell truck and buy a 7.3L

key word is a as in one when you say techs that is a stab at all of us. and no hard feelings just trying to say that dont like to be called stupid. and if there is a problem that is not fixed the fist time then bring it back free of charge we all make mistakes and it only human. i will be the first to say i make them and i fix them on my time and dont get payed for it.
