Turbo question?

[lilman-bigstroke]

I have read in several threads that the trucks that were first built with the 6.7 are having problems with the turbos, they fixed it on the 2012-13 model trucks....is this something to be worried about, i mean how many failures have you guys heard of or experienced. i have a 2011 with 25k on it and i love the truck just would like a heads up on some things about it.

Someone in another thread had a good theory about the shaft balance and why it seemed to be causing issues. I believe the oiling system has been blamed for several failures as well. I've decided not to tune this truck due to this issue, at least for a long time. If something were to happen to the motor and I had to pay for it, I'd never hear the end of it from my old lady.

Same boat i'm in lol

I have a Job 1, 2011 that I purchased in 2010 when the 11 model year first came out. I have 30,000 miles on mine, and close to 25,000 with H&S Mini Maxx, and full delete (egr, dpf, scr, urea), and knock on wood, I have had 0 issues either transmission or turbo related. I always let my truck idle for a few minutes when I stop driving before I shut off the engine, I let the EGT's get down to around 250 or lower. And knock on wood, as long as I take care of it, there will never be an issue!

I agree, my last truck had a turbo timer on it, i would like to get one installed on this rig.

How hard was it to put a guage on it for the EGT's? Wouldn't mind having one

When you do the full deletes, one of the EGR block off plates comes with a well welded in it so you can install one of the pyro probes from your factory exhaust into your block. It wasn't too hard at all.

Does any one have problems with their turbos pulsating?
