I have a benign question, but when you say you "picked up your truck" does that mean you had it in for service and Turbo was replaced?

I ask only because I have on 06 F350 6.0L and the Turbo was fixed at 24K miles. At the time, Ford would not permit full replacement, but have the tech at the dealer order parts to remanufacture/repair it. At least that is what the SA told me.

When I got the truck back, I took a closer look at the Turbo, it appears the entire unit was replaced. Sticker on the casing showing "made in Mexico, Remanufactured"

Problem with turbo was moisture and rust. Few hundred miles later, I noticed quite a lot of oil blow back from lower boot at the intercooler. Enough to drip to ground. Lasted for a while. Called dealer and they said it was normal and their diesel shop was booked up so I should call back.

Took to another dealer, they found problems with Turbo that caused loss of power. Replaced the blue boots and clamps. Noticeably different.

Sorry for the long story, but after writing this I am now wondering if there is a new Turbo part being installed by Ford.

thanks for reading...
