A co-workers 07 F350 6.0 is also in shop(going on 3rd week now)for turbo, then manifolds, and still having issues. The aftermarket warranty comp is starting to squawk. He bought truck 1 year ago and paid 2500.00 for the warranty. With earlier t/case issues/replacement and the ongoing repair now it WELL paid him to put the warranty on. Truck has 105K miles .

Glad you got coverage.....

We have had two turbo's on our 06 F350 replaced......under warranty. When the warrant is done on the truck I will install a pyrometer which hopefully helps. I couldn't imagine paying $6500 for a turbo repair.

fred1609,

One of the issues with turbo failure is crystalizing of the oil in the turbo. As you tow, the turbo gets very hot, when you stop, if you don't allow the turbo to cool down by idling the truck for a period of time, the oil will crystalize and lead to turbo failure. The newer Ford trucks have added an "automatic idle" feature which will idle your truck until the turbo is cool before shutting it down automatically.

This may not even be associated with your turbo failures, but I wanted to bring it out in the thread since other members may not be aware of the issue.

I understand the issue around running the engine after its been pulling hard. My DW seems to be able to smell the turbo as it cooks. Hope to have no more problems.

My 96 said it in the manual, idle truck to let turbo cool. In the O1 it was not found in that manual but, I still do it and shut down when temp is 400 or lower.

That was the old trucker's rule - always idle the motor to let the turbo cool before shutdown to prevent the oil from burning and damaging the seals. Today, the EPA mandates that engines in commedrcial trucks shut down automatically after a set period of time. The last company for which I drove had their's set for 3 minutes (after the spring brakes were set).
Thanks, John for the tip about the new Fords. I did not know that they have an auto idle/shutdown feature. Perhaps this has to be set in the 'MyKeys' ?

You may not have the feature, but I'd check to see. It was a $250 option on all the new diesel Superduty trucks. It came "standard" in some of the packages and on some trim levels, so whether you have it or not is anybody's guess. If you do have it, it's a great feature. Just set it, shut off the ignition, remove the keys, get out, lock the doors and the truck automatically shuts down after a timed delay. Great feature for those "emergency" stops at a rest area when sitting in the cab watching the temp guage is "painfully slow" LOL

No stink was made by the dealer about your truck being chipped??? Thats usually a one way ticket to No Warrantiesville.
I added an H&S programmer/ DPF delete but not untill I hit 98k and was almost out of warranty anyway.

Nice looking toy hauler Crash, we just ordered a 384 as well they seem pretty darn heavy but oh well we like the layout and space. Has your unit been pretty good to you so far?

Most of the aftermarket chips (Edge, BullyDog, etc) have an option for a turbo timer. I hae the feature on both my 6.0's and use it. Set for 400 degrees to shutdown. In summer, it runs after a no load trip around town. THe cost of the chip / programmer is worth it to not have to replace a turbo.

Some of the security / remote start may alos have htis feature.

Hope this helps.

Mike

Thanks for the response - checked it out and we didn't get that feature on our XLT. Not a real problem - I always let the engine cool before shut-down as well as driving easy on the way into the rest area,fuel stop,etc.

What years and how do you set it? No owners manual with my '05 Super Duty!
