Ok, if an injector goes south and starts dumping fuel into the crankcase the lubricity of the oil goes south. What is the first thing to go, the turbo as it spins a lot faster at full spool than the crank does, so it will be the first thing to wear out or set up with low oil lubricity conditions. No lube no spinny spinny. And also as far as twice in a row, sounds like it happend under load both times and could easly happen.

 

You are absolutely my hero. Way to go!

 

i am impressed with the lack of hostility from pettle after being flamed for 3 pages.wow.

 

He started with hostility , we did not and he got read as a troll , he has low posts and starts with should have bought something else , all his mistakes not ours . The guys on this site are not the bad guys and if asked right will bend over backwards to help . Enough said on this I hope , now back to the problem . He states what sounds like a very light load to me well below what should create much heat unless there is a box involved and there was no mention of any gages . Diesel fuel is a very poor lubricant but is still a lubricant and there still should be mostly oil going through the system because it is heavier and the diesel will tend to stay on top . That is why I asked what oil he used , if it is not diesel rated oil I have seen damage like this . To knock out one turbo this way would be very highly unlikely in a stock truck not to mention the rate of injector failure in stock trucks is not very high . Now we are told it has happened twice and I for one think there is more to this story but without more information can not help much more .

 

thanks. I think they were so busy that they over-looked it but when they asked me if I had any questions on any of the documents I did say "well, there was one but...hmmm, can't remember". That was sort of my pretense if they had asked about the missing document, that I would then say "oh yes, I set this one aside... what the HELL is this all about?!"
They also made no qualms about me NOT providing them with a socialist security #, an unsigned driver's license (gave them my passport), and signing all documents with "all rights reserved, without prejudice UCC 1-207".

It sure is a sad state of affairs in our country when they treat cash sales as criminal (I used a certified funds check), screen you against the "terrorist list", attempt to get any data they can short of a blood sample, insist on their registering the vehicle with the State DMV themselves (I never saw the title myself - am I buying this rig or is the "State"??), etc., etc., all just to make a purchase.

Anyways - I'm no hero. I'm just a stubborn SOB who won't sign away my rights for the privilege of buying something.

Cheers,

I'm sure there's details that he left out. but as for the staying afloat on the oil that ain't going to happen! diesel will cut motor oil and emusify with the oil. kind of like it does with water, hince the need for a water seperator on the fuel system! With the rpm of the turbo and the heat range the bearings see this could have happened!!

 

Well guys, I dont know what to tell you characters other than I picked the truck up agin and we'll see what happens. As for you guys out there who doubt my integrity what can I say....whatever man.....As for the rest of you thanks for the input. Unfortunately there is no missing info to clue you in on. This is a daily driver 11 months old and 24K on the odo. I bought it new, drive it easy but alot and tow a three palce sled trailer in the winter months. Fuel is all Cheveron and oil is done religiously at 3500 miles. The verdict was a second injector that failed and Dodge would only pay to replace the problem at hand. I suggested replacing all the injectors but no dice... We'll see if this continues, I hope not I just want a reliable piece of equipment. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS!

Happy Holidays all.... and a few of you guys really need to switch to decaf!

Im out unless this happens again...Next time I'm bringing pictures.

 

Good to hear it's running again...I hope you have better luck this time!

 

hey, all we want to see is a signature.
