    2005 Sterling Daycab Semi Dump Truck
    The turbo doesnt kick in, when im driving with pedal to the floor it doesnt get up and go it just drags along. Ive had heater cooler or heater core replaced because it had holes/leaks, i had turbo sensor replaced, and parts to turbo replaced and it still doesnt work. It kicked on Friday for two hours straight then went back out and never turned on again.
    What can I try to get the turbo to kick in before my last resort of taking it to freightliner

    Whats your Boost looking like?
    any excess smoke?
    Not enough information here.

    also "It kicked on Friday for two hours straight then went back out and never turned on again."
    Are we talking about a Turbo here or a crappy central heating system?

    It's a Sterling man. I'm actually not trying to be an ###, but you'd be better served just ditching it. There's a reason they no longer make them......

    Just sayin'

    Actuator not working or turbo could be toast
