Keith Browning Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have seen a few bad ones but this one made a mess and a half! Another dealer installed a CRHA about 450 miles ago. Customer states he heard a loud noise and the engine stalled. Would start but smoked really bad then wouldn't run. Shaft in the turbo is seized and split into two. I never saw oil back up into the manifolds and fill the EGR cooler. I drained 4+ quarts out of the charge air cooler before cleaning it. There appeared to be about another four quarts on my shop floor that slowly dripped from the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer states he heard a loud noise and the engine stalled. Would start but smoked really bad then wouldn't run. Sounds earily close to one I had in last friday. The saving grace for this guy was his buddy's truck. He gets the call that his friend's F150 stalled and he needs a ride to us. Both were on their way home to Grande Prairie from Leduc. On the way to drop off his buddy here his makes a loud pop then starts smoking. They limped it here to find out the impeller wheel snapped off and broke the pins for 3 VGT vanes, oddly enough the shaft still spun. He recently had the unison ring replaced elsewhere along with some other work. It got a complete turbo. Luckily for him he had his cat removed. 3 hours later he is happy and both are on their way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
