    I have an 07 vnl 780 with an IXS 500, after an inframe in Nov. ive had a rythmic surge in all gears and speeds. After returning to Dealer numerous times, they keep changing turbos (On the 4th one now) still have the surge. But as an added bonus my Jake system (6 stages) only works on 1 thur 4 , they want to change turbo Again, I'm out of patience, and about broke from all of the down time, any suggestions would be great. or the name of good attorney

    Sell it.

    It's rare a turbo needs to be touched.

    Im thinking something is out of whack regarding any number of inputs such as your foot by wire to ECM, fuel pump etc.

    Or something as dumb as a loose 5th wheel?

    I know nothing about what they are doing to you. But 4 turbos? Bless me that is bad. Get rid of that truck.

    Hmm. Rhythmic. That word sorta changes things.
    Still, start where you know there is a problem. Ask the dealer to disable the jake completely for a day and see what happens.

    when you say it works from 1 to 4, do you feel a difference between 1 to 2 to 3 to 4? or do they feel the same? Does the engine output any smoke?

    Maybe you should try a different dealer?
