turbo trouble

[jepling]

My dad has a completely stock 08 f250 with right at 60000 on it and the turbo has started squeal. Has anyone else heard of this happening or had it happen? When it does it the truck blows blue smoke and looses power bad and if you are following him you can smell raw diesel fuel.

welll looks like it was the turbos they are havin to replace them. they said that they have to lift the front of the cab up to get them out. less than 60000 miles and the turbo is shot

Blew the intercooler boot coming out of the turbo yesterday. The turbo is covered in oil now, cant even tell the turbo housing is silver on the inside and there's oil dripping off the hood.
