What happens when a turbo goes out

I guarantee they won't pay for the trailer to be washed.

 

that right there is blowing a turbo, I'm getting my 5th one installed on my truck. I've always been able to drive afterwards though, no oil, no major problems like that but just no boost.

 

turbos blowing are different all the time. When mine went out, all I got was white smoke as an indicator, then 5 mph in 6th gear while limping it to the Freightliner. Of the 4 other PAM drivers that also had their turbos go, none of them looked anything like this.

 

In fact, I think I even have a picture of my engine with half the turbo taken out....let me find it..

 

Here we go. Clean as a whistle...and no, Freightliner did not wash it. lol I did however notice that there was an oil leak coming out of the back of the turbo, but it was nothing major. Not even noticeable unless you're looking for it.

 

I had one break.

 

WTH?? So that is oil all over the outside of the truck and not soot or fire damage? In the thumbnails it looks like fire damage. I can't get them to go full size, .. antique cellular towers where I'm at.

 

Depends how they break.

White smoke, no smoke, blowing oil can happen.

The loss of power is for sure.
