Holly crap i started a real [edit] storm here about trolls. FunnY! Man, I am an avid poster on snowest and havent seen stuff like this in a long time.....I AM an ACTAUL owner of a new dodge and just found this site looking for some input about the problem, not to be accused of being an [edit]. I'm not really that sensetive just time to pipe up I guess. Anyway, back to the problem, turns out it is another injector which in turn took out the turbo again(lube issue I'm told Im not the techy guy). So they(dealership) is replacing the mess again and will test drive , efficiency test the cylinders etc..and will let me know. They have been talking to Dodge and I suggested why not replace all the injectors, since this is a different one, but Corp. will only auth. the one for now. One more time and I will get to lemon it!! And I would get another one just like it, but with the leather seats, that grey stuff in there now is just a stain collector! My concern is even if this does fix the issue what long term longevity it has sucked out of the motor. A crank case full of fuel (twice) cant be a good thing)!

 

Hope this time it's fixed for good. If I were you, I'd start getting oil analysis done to your oil every 5-6000 miles just to see if your bearings and what not, are ok...
Good luck.

 

I knew he wasn't a troll. And to think some of us bashed him for it. Very nice of us to welcome a fellow ctd owner, even if he has a problem. Wish you the best with the repairs, and believe me just about all CTD owners never have to go through a problem like you are. Sometimes bad parts make their way into even the best of engines.

It just does not add up , I can see no way for a injector to take out a turbo twice . We have had a few guys loose injectors and I have never heard of any of them loosing the turbo . Most of the injector problems also included high rail pressure boxes , not all but most . How about some pictures , seeing for me would be believing . There is a lot more to this story we are not hearing I feel and I for one have a lot of doubt in this whole thread .

 

i just want to know what the **** you are doing to your truck to cause these problems?

 

My buddy had some injector problems on his 03 and had to have the turbo replaced as well. He was running a pressure box. This poor guy can't get any help on this forum without being bashed for something can he? He's having a problem, and I would think we'd be more inclined to help him solve it given the symptoms rather than doubt every word he types.

 

How exactly do you help a guy who give very little information and with only 5 posts in months and ends with I should have bought something else ? How does an injector wipe out a turbo and if it did how did it do it with out taking the bottom end of the engine ? He claims two injectors and two turbo's , if the oil is so thin from diesel fuel contamination the rods and mains are toast and in my opinion and whole engine should be replaced . There is more to this story but I doubt we will hear it .

 

This is starting to resemble a thread on Dieselstop.

Hey John, Mansfield isn't in NW Ohio. I live in NW Ohio and you are 60 east of me and I'm on the east edge NW Ohio. Go Bucks

 

ohh yeah well go AGGIES!!!!!!!!

 

I caught one of those in my paperwork from Dave Smith. I should scan it.. very interesting ~ something to the effect of substituting constitutionally enumerated rights to normal judicial proceedings for some proprietary "arbitration board" in resolving any claims . I conveniently left that little piece of work out of what I returned to them prior to taking ownership.

Go wolverines!

 

I completely understand your point and everyone elses for that matter. I just feel that perhaps this guy was like me when I first found forums....I signed up, but I barely posted for quite a while because I didn't really get hooked right away. Also when I did post, they were few and far between mainly because I felt like I didn't know anything and did not want to sound stupid or made out to be stupid by other people, so instead I just got on and read to learn....and when I wanted to know more I had no other choice but to start asking my own questions. As far as him saying he should have bought something else, a lot of people make comments related to that when they're angry that they don't necessarily mean. Even I have done it when I was having some fuel problems with my own ctd, but right now I wouldn't dream of saying it. As for his problem not making sense, perhaps he's not getting the terminology correct. It sounds like he's just repeating to us what he heard from a dealership - and we all know how smart those guys can be!

 

Especially against USC!! But you should cheer Michigan on against Ohio State; they need ALL the help you can give!!

 

Some say Mansfield is the heart of Ohio to far north for center but got to agree go Bucks !! I live close to the airport on a farm , we have a few Buckeye fans in here .
Some very good points here that I may have over looked , like repeating what the dealer is telling him and very little mechanical ability . I still smell a pressure box but that is no sin unless we have them stacked , but let us say all this is fact for a now. They would be dropping the pan , the most critical bearing to get oil is in the turbo and it would be the first to see a failure but after two their would be other damage . When the turbo bearing failed the oil would be carrying metal through the system until it is picked up by the filter causing more damage . I would love to see both turbo's , the filter cut open , the magnetic drain plug , an oil analysis and a rod or main bearing . Most who have this problem feel a loss of power while driving because the crank is splashing in oil and a truck that is covered with oil mixed with diesel and still do not loose a turbo yet this truck has lost two turbo's so something else has to be going on here . What kind of oil are you using ? It is hard to help with so little information and to give good advice , maybe if we had a location another member could visit the dealer with you and help analyze the problem more .
