I have religously changed the air filter at 12,000 miles and the oil at 5000. 2006 Durmax at 560K miles. Bone stock. No "performance" upgrades. Truck regularly tows 10K pounds. Original turbo, tansmission, water pump and oil pump.

[@roughout]

Jiffy lube opened my air filter to check it. 5000 miles later I made the mistake of returning again. The technician came to say who ever installed your air filter installed it upside down. Don't use Jiffy lube if your vehicle means anything to you.

[@buncherkev2794]

I went to great Canadian and they charged me extra for rotella t6 I get home and the low oil pressure light comes on. No fugging oil!

Keep a clean air filter and you will probably never have a problem

Ryans a great guy, and hes totally right. I gernaded a turbo, cause was a hole in my intercooler, a boost leak. He got me fixed up and sure enough i did a boost leak check and do anytime i pull a charge pipe. I made one with a pvc pipe end cap and air line fitting. Regulator in line with it. Cost me $5. Saved me thousands.

Lots of great free and excellent advice you can only acquire after years of experience and issues. This stuff isn't learned over night for most but can be just by watching this video.

[@brianturck274]

I could listen to him all day... a wealth of knowledge.. thx for sharing..

[@cbmech2563]

There are 2 basic causes of turbo failure are both lack of oil issues. Don't jump on it when you first fire it up, wait until you've got oil pressure established. Don't come nailing the throttle up to a stop and shut the engine off. If the engine is off then you have no oil to the turbo shaft bearing (bushing).

[@Natedoc808]

As a lifelong moto rider, 2 air filters, 1 clean and 1 in service is life. Currently have 248K on my 03 Cummins common rail, no mods and she runs like a top, no blow-by, no boost leaks, maintained fresh fluids. Keep em stock and fresh and they’ll keep running

Last June (2021), I went to the Lower Keys from Northern Illinois pulling a 7,500 lb trailer full of construction tools. Just North of Cairo, Illinois, we lost an intercooler. Powerstoke specialist in the area said he "never saw that happen before". After replacing it (on a Sunday morning at 7 am), our diesel ran great and has several thousand miles since we returned in July.

most common reason a turbo fails is because you keep upgrading stuff. I've had mine 230k miles with zero issues other than water pump on truck... LLY and bulletproof, bought it 3 yrs old, 2nd owner has mods and tunes but basic stuff stuff replaced... you don't need all this and that for a street truck that tows and is ready for work on the daily

[@cumminsb9925]

Don't forget to let your truck cool off for a minute before Shutting it off duramax turbos run warm. Hot shut offs will end the turbos life early. Thanks for sharing great information!

[@truckmastergarage9944]

Great point

[@jmill6069]

What do you mean by letting it cool off before shutting it off?

[@bbrcummins1984]

@@jmill6069 let the truck idle before turning off

[@jmill6069]

@@bbrcummins1984 what amount of time? Is it not going to be the approx temp as your Oil?

[@cumminsb9925]

Idling the engine before Shutting it off gives the turbo a chance to cool. Oil flow is what lubricants and dissipates heat in the turbo bearings. If you stop oil flow when it's to hot oil will burn and carbon up the bearings. My 07lbz takes about 90 seconds to cool down to 300 degrees. If your pulling a load and it would take a little longer. I have a an 01 cummins it takes about 45 seconds to reach 300 degrees. A gauge is your best friend then you know.

[@jedburlingham3593]

Ryan: Great Video! Lots of information. I don't own a Turbo'd vehicle currently, but I do want a Turbo-diesel vehicle on our next purchase. Two Questions: I've considered having a separate oiling system 4 the Turbo with 2 Frantz Oil systems---4 both engine oil & Turbo oil. Kits available 4 common diesels. They filter down to 2 microns, & it removes carbon from the oil (see Frantz's video on this). It's expensive---do U think it's worth it? What about a Vacuum Pump on venting the crankcase to remove the blowby that will occur?

bro i gotta ask, or somebody else, he said about the pvc line going cover to cover, i have a stock turbo but should i tee it off and run the tee hose down the side of the motor? only reason I ask is because my egt temp, when i get on it consistently runs around 1100 degrees. sometimes almost to 1300. i hate that. i have a egr delete in it as well(for racing purposes only).

[@damienwells7465]

I have an 07 classic LBZ and I have my two pcv ran to a t, and then the third leg ran into a little breather filter (stainless washable) because otherwise I get a lot of oily vapor blowing on top of the engine. It's this ok to do? Or do I need to do differently??

# 9:32 I had a clamp fail on the pressure side of the turbo. I thought it was a tire blowout, so loud. Lost some power, could not pull over for a while. After walking around the rig I elected to pop the hood. Fixed with coat hanger so I could go home.

[@leebuck180]

Great video, I learned some good tips, you didn't mention about cool down for the turbo after heavy loads/high EGT. Shutdown a truck soon as you stop pulling a loaded trailer will bring early failure. I like to idle a few minutes even empty to cool down turbo.

[@ToadHoleOntario]

Your turbo would have to glowing red to cause the engine oil to burn up. If your turbo is getting that hot that you need to cool it down then think about metal and how is expands and contracts when it cools and remember you manifold will probably crack and leak first.

[@GrandPrix46]

I like to drive easy the last few miles before I get to where I'm going to let it cool down. Usually let it idle for ~30 seconds before I shut it down as I'm getting stuff ready before I get out of the truck. This has worked well for every turbo vehicle I've had.

[@ToadHoleOntario]

@@GrandPrix46 if you bastardized your truck and need to watch the turbo temps just remember real Diesel engines have cylinder liners not parent bores. If your turbo is hot then your piston is hot and polished the top cross hairs in the cylinder till she has a little to much blow by. Real working trucks have air brakes to stop bigger loads. Transport trucks use gear on gear transmissions and no chains in the 4x4( yes you can get a class 8 4x4 Western star truck) it’s just epic stupid truck guys. If you put a turbo on that Godzilla Ford engine it would smoke all Diesel engine power trucks.

[@charlesarmstrong3536]

@ToadHoleOntario Dude, why so harsh? It's no skin off your back. If they blow something up, it's out of their pocket. Your statements aren't very clear, just some bable.

[@ToadHoleOntario]

@@charlesarmstrong3536 , I am a transport truck mechanic and am a certified Cummins and certified Detroit G2 training. Diesel engines were practical with a mechanical diesel pump and a na diesel is the most reliable thing on the earth. As soon as you increase the cylinder pressure your loosing the only thing a diesel has. Long term reliability. All it takes is the cylinder walls to loose the honing marks and now you have used up most of the engines “prime running conditions” build a turbo gasser and you’ll have some crazy obnoxious monster truck build that could possible lift the wheels off the ground
