major turbo issue

I mentioned on another thread awhile back about 3/16 play in/out on wheel rod. Today I access back of wheel and can see where the outside edges are shaved down approx 1/8". All this came about when pulling my new camper I started loosing power and temps went high. It starts right up and runs but little power. I know under load it will get hot. I am hoping a new turbo will restore power with little if any damage done

Yep, sounds like it's shot.

With those 190 injectors you should consider a hybrid like the PDR-35, Dodgezilla, or HTT Stage III.

You might also consider installing a cool-down timer with the new turbo.
