The next day they told me that they were sending away for a new turbo. The truck would be in the shop 3 or 4 days.
In the end, it cost me nothing or very little & I had more power. Good.
I'm also aware that all dealerships make good $ on warranty work in slow times.
The truck is off warranty now. So, I will be paying for everything from now on. I'm crossing my fingers....

Good feedback, sounds like you have an honorable dealership to deal with. They get paid less for warranty work, but if they are slow its better than no work. The best advise I can give for that new turbo is to open it up frequently, let it stretch it legs! The vanes in those variable turbos are prone to getting stuck, if you idle around all the time carbon will build up on the vanes and eventually not allow them to open all the way when you need them to.
