Thanks for all the info in the video, I was able to troubleshoot why my Cummins ISB was having issues with leaking oil from the turbo since spring. I noticed a little bit of loss of power too for the past couple of months and thought the turbo was a goner. Checked the turbo and everything seemed alright at first glance, no whistling, turbine wheel looked good, no noises, just the oil leaking between the pipe joints and silicone hoses going to the intercooler. Changed the air filter in spring, so that couldn't have been an issue, return lines looked good, another thing I could check and be easy for me to change was the crankcase filter. Turns out, that was the issue, ever since I changed that, no leaks coming from the turbo and no more loss of power. Thanks again for the great video!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad our videos are helpful. 👍🏼

[@proturbousa5426]

Our company has been rebuilding and distributing turbochargers for 25years and this guy knows what he is talking about I am glad there are shops like his that knows how to diagnose a turbocharger, there have been countless times we inform the customer that leaks on the compressor side of his turbo are almost never a turbocharger failure and that before purchasing the turbo with us they must check for all that you mention in this video. Next time I will just send them this video to make sure they are making an informed purchase!

[@utoobrandomness7197]

With all of the different power offerings from dTROIT, from 1 tune to another... Is there anything that requires physically different parts? (I.E. Is it all just software & all of the nuts & bolts are the same, or no?) Im assuming from the DD15 to the DD16, theres different sleeves, pistons & higher flow injectors -But... is there anything else?

[@wallydesouza1]

If it’s oil in turbo it has to be changed or just fix the same turbo?

Can a bad turbo cause a check emgine light for low intake pressure? I have a cel with system intake problem, derate 25%.

[@Hohstapler]

Hi, I have a problem with my 2012 Cascadia 700k miles. Just cleaned filters put them back in and when I wanted to do forced regen it starts but instead of staying on 1500RPM it goes back to 1100 for a second and then back to 1500 for 5-10 seconds and then goes down again and circles like that all the time… DOC temp is around 380 when it starts but slowly getting up. Had to stop doing regen because I thought something is broken… no fault codes except the NOx sensor permanent… do you think it’s only nox or something more serious? My mechanic tells me it’s probably turbo not building up the temperature, but turbo shouldn’t make my engine RPM go low from time to time while doing forced regen. Never had any issues with this truck whatsoever

[@evanmorrison7577]

Have brought truck to 2 shops now first was independent 2nd freightliner dealer. Truck is losing oil at the rate of 1 gallon every 200 miles. There are no leaks, they looked at all obvious places oil could be going and found nothing. Freightliner dealer emailed Detroit and they said remove turbo and check for differentials in pressure but mechanics at the dealer are saying if that were the case they would see some oil somewhere as we've gone through 40 gallons in the last few weeks. Have you heard of anything like this? Also it started suddenly after never losing any oil.

[@ogringoquasecearense]

Hello friend! Thanks for the video, I have this code on my dash SPN 102, FMI 16, air intake system problem detected, can you said me what could be happen please, DD15 engine, thanks in advance

Hi, I recently bought a 2019 cascadia 125. The truck hesitates when accelerating when below 60-70km/h but once I drive at highway speeds 70km and above it becomes okay... then the problem also goes away for day or two. Don't have any lights or issues showing in the system either...... any pointers what to look for please ?

[@225slugga5]

How long can you drive when the turbo goes out?

[@SubaruWRXStiYamahaR6-AllGone]

How do know when these issues will pop up, or are there maintenance checks you can do to find issues before they become a problem? My last truck the turbo leaked and messed up my one box around 700k. Would gladly pay $4k to replace a turbo over paying $20k+ to fix emissions system.

whats up adam plan to buy 2016 dd15 615k miles on it u recommed changing the oil pick up tube first ?before using it thanks

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Rex, be sure to sub. I would recommend checking maintenance records and having truck checked by an outside shop.

[@macershlene01]

I got the turbo replaced on my 2015 freightliner cascadia with a DD15 motor. And I got it back out the shop and it sounds like air blowing out constantly.. And even louder when Accelerating. It sounds like a whale releasing air out of its blow hole. And has no whistle sound at all like it sounded before it got relplaced. Or like most trucks turbos out on the roads sound.. Why does it sound like that, what did they do wrong replacing turbo? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS PROBLEM I CAN'T SEEM FIND ANY VIDEO OR INFORMATION ON THIS??? I feel like this mechanic is ripping me off...

[@marcusjones1082]

How do you regularly service the crankcase breather?

[@sweetpadre]

make sure to change the engine oil regularly so all possible debris that may clogg it is taken away.

Hello I have a dd15 that it loose power when climbing hills with a load what could be the problem

[@Mostafa-tk7sp]

The hill is the problem lol

[@nathanielvachon5035]

It is not always because of the pressure difference but can also be the seals of the turbine shaft i have seen that often and most of the time is that

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Nathaniel, thanks for your input. You are right, some turbos have seals that could leak. This DD15 turbo has seals similar to piston rings so the only way oil can leak is by Passover. Thank you for watching.

[@davidnjoroge8495]

true,i have seen this in mercedes trucks with similar engines,mostly it's the seals that fail inside turbo core assembly,pressure difference isn't often and highly unlikely cause of leak..

[@ronalddavison179]

What happens when turbo will not turn freely.. stuck not moving?

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Ronald, it could be bearings seized. What type of engine? Also if you replace turbo make sure to change oil and filters.

I have a 2013 Cascadia with a dd15. I have been getting a noise that sounds like a moped or a propeller towards my passenger side. It only makes the noise when the truck struggles towards higher rpms and sometimes when I slow down with my jakes. It does not do it on idle and it does not do it on regen. I have an exhaust smell right after it happens. Freightliner in okc looked twice and couldn’t find exhaust leaks. Any ideas what it could be?

[@mirceanovac1729]

so how much does a new turbo cost man? labor? Isn't this video about how much the thing costs?

[@josaywhat]

At least in 2020 (before inflation) he said $4000 to $4500....Now if I had to put a number on it with labor probably $7000-$8000

[@anthonyowensby5072]

You say if the oil pressure is higher than boost pressure it will leak into boost side of turbo. Not so, because boost pressure is never high as oil pressure

[@Darkmatter2134]

I remember when turbos cost $1200, new stuff is overpriced.

oil pick up tube seal ?

What's the best ENGINE..... Cummings or detroit

[@josegonzalez4144]

Cumming is better but not has much. Dd15, dd16 are more affordable to fix. I feel that Cummins is more troublesome because of all egr,Def,doc, an filter . These components need too be checked an service often. The DD series is a good reliable engine. I had to inframe my DD13, my cost was 15k, it had more then a million miles. My 2009 international isx eng was a pain in tha ass, my cost to total inframe was almost 25k. Never again I am getting a isx eng
