ok.. so my buddy is having troubles with his truck...
this is his rig...
2008 Dodge 3500 dually, 6.7L Cummins Turbo 108k miles...
he took it in for an oil change today and an inquiry as to why his engine light has been coming on... they told him his turbo needs to be replaced and they want a rediculous price to replace it..
ok.. a few questions that all you cummins guys might be able to answer...
1. how bad will it be to drive it with the turbo out?? will it cause any damage to anything until it gets fixed, other than horrible fuel mileage???
2. he wants to replace the turbo.... any recomendations, prices, and lead time to get one....
3. is there something out there that is better than the stock one??
4. and just how hard are these to replace?? I mean i know my way around an engine, but have never dealt with a turbo replacement, is it something that I could do for him and save him some $$$??? pretty straight forward??
5. any other suggestions that you all might think of that I may have forgot...
any and all help is much apreciated!!!!
