    Are you actually hooking up a laptop or computer to see any codes or not just seeing them on the dash?

    Get it to the dealer or someone who has the right software and have an ecm dump done plus maybe take the truck out for a live check and record the readings to see where the problem is

    Check piping elbow oring , coming off your intercooler. And make sure flange is clean from corrosion. And oring is lubricated with non patrolium based lubricant.

    Hi everyone, thanks a lot for your suggestions, I just fixed it. Problem was in turbo, actually both of them had broken blades. As I told, I just did an overhaul few thousands miles ago, so when my engine stuck, dust and maybe some small pieces of metal gone through manifold directly in my turbos. I'll attach some pictures. 723B2D2F-EBE5-4209-B4AF-00EA15700A35.JPG 12DA0D50-EA7C-430F-8B1C-B10381969F09.JPG

    Did you perform this overhaul yourself or did you have a shop do it? If a shop did are they going to help you replace the turbos? It is very possible that something got sucked in and dusted both turbos. Glad you got it figured out and thanks for coming back on here with a update.

    Shop did all overhaul work, and they not going to help me with replacing. They telling me that probably both turbos was dusted right when I stopped on the highway when my engine down. But I shut off an engine right away after I recognized that something is wrong actually before I stopped. I installed brand new Mahle turbos, 4000$ ($2300+$1700) plus labor.

    I had the same problem and its plain and simple everyone always looks at the most complicated way to fix anything look at the easy fix first on the side of the engine of the driver side towards the back on the head straight up from your ecm you'll see an airline or a steel hose that runs into your firewall that's your gauge line take the line off at the head you will see an insert that will have a small pin hole in it clean with soap water and take your blowgun rubber tip off an fill the gun with soap water and put the tip back on and hold it tightly against the insert and give her hell and if you see the soap water blow through good then it's clean and not plugged put everything back together and see what she does oh and have someone watch your gauge as you take the blowgun and blow into the line to see if your gauge will max out if it does your good to go

    So would a single turbo effect warranty? Being the shop did not find bad turbos during rebuild? Was it a CAT certified shop?
