Heres the problem truck was driving do the highway and lost all power. Check it had fuel and good filter but no oil bone dry crank case. The tailpipe had alittle darker soot than normal not really oilly. I did refill the engine and did start but smoked white. Very similer to when I installed new injector in another truck. Went for a ride and lose about 8qts in about 5 miles.
From what I remember reading on the forum about turbos when it start going out its one of the things that happen before the turbo goes out.
Just wanted to confirm before I go ordering a turbo.

I think you have bigger problems than a turbo sounds like major engine problem if you lost 8 qts in 5 miles. You need to find out where the 8 qts went to.

Its not in the coolant. So that rules out the injector sleeves.

</div></div>And it's not on the ground or in the valley? That would rule out HPOP leaks.

YOu have one serious problem there. 8 quarts in 5 miles is ALOT. I'd look into something along broken piston rings, in addition to turbo seals, as well as other things...
The truck is the 201" wheelbase with a pretty long exhaust pipe. I had a chance to talk to driver he said it started slow down and smokeing white out of the tail pipe.
I did however remove the turbo and the valley was pretty clean. But when I took off the turbo apart it was pretty soaked on the compressor side and the turbo shaft did have some play form side to side.

Did a compression test and all where pretty even.
Also when I refilled the oil the truck ran fine untill it was low on oil again.
