Keith Browning Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I normally avoid rumors I read on the other web sites when there is an angry owner making the post but this caught my attention on TDS today: Quote: F@rd finally admits that the turbo is sticking causing over-boost causing blown head gaskets. They're coming out with a grooved turbo actuator ring to minimize sticking. (Still a band-aid fix- what's causing the sticking in the first place?) Has anyone heard of such a modification to the turbo coming? Must have come from his dealer's FSE /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I saw the same post you did... no chance to research it at all, as yet. Could be an interesting development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snw blue by you Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Again with the half truths! If the customer's FSE told him that, the yutz needs to be fired! Nowhere does it say that the sticking vanes causes the headgaskets to blow, nor do I believe Ford would ever say that, they however are correct in their asessment of the cause of the sticking vanes. In 2 years the only turbos I have had to replace[approx 25]due to this issue have been on the Sunday go to church trucks with all the H-D, and my kid was an honor student stickers on them. Wait, there was one other, a municapal owned 550 that the local raggies let idle incessently, to the tune of 5-6 hrs a day. The clock said 8,200 miles, but it was probably more like 32,000 miles. BTW, I have yet to replace a set of gaskets on a motor that had a sticking actuator, or that was properly maintained, and not "chipped","tuned",or otherwise "fucked" with. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
