Turbo Went South

[Snakedriver]

Going up hill, I passed a car, got back into my lane, let off the throttle, and then I heard what sounded like a slide whistle. I figured that a hose or fitting blew off. I was wrong.

The ace diesel guy at the Ford store said he thought it was the turbo. Well, it was.

The service writer and the tech asked the questions that they already knew the questions to...and in 2.5 days I had my truck back with a new turbo.

Ford approved the warranty, no questions asked.

Tech said that one of the blades on the hot side had failed and went down stream, causing an out of balance situation. I had 15000 mi on the truck at the time.

[dieseldesi]

Yes what year and other details on the truck would be nice too. what were you towing?

[Snakedriver]

Sorry Guys,

My truck is a mid production 2012 F250. At the time I wasnt towing. What I tow is not a lot...Little British Sports cars are my drug of choice, so I think my trailer is a couple of hundred pounds heavier than my car.

Good to hear ford took care of you. Now you'll be good for another 15,000!! Aren't we all glad ford put better turbos on the 12 trucks?
