    Everything original. Almost 600000 on this truck. What do you suggest Nasriza inspect and test on ptt then go from there? Thank you again you are very useful.

    My bosse’s other truck was doing exactly the same. He was fixing it last week. I will inquire when I see him, what was the fix. I remember him saying that disconnecting turbo actuator stopped the symptoms. That when he was still diagnosing. You may wanna check if it would be the case in yours.
