    If so, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I would start saving for a charge-air cooler now. :biggrin_2552:

    Wiseguy, Did they still change the turbo as well? I don't suppose they have told you what LEA means. I can think of a few things it could represent, but I'd likely be banned! LOL. Hope that it stays working for you and it didn't break the bank. Stay safe man.:biggrin_25525:

    See Above

    , No I got lucky. It never blew up like I have saw in the past. It just kept quitting on me. I only drove 50 miles and had enough of that.

    Allright!! On the road again. I had the shop at our Gary terminal working on mine. They said they checked everything out. They did replace a couple wires in one of the wiring harnesses. He showed me what he had done, but it didn't cure anything. Oh well, like I said, I'm out of that truck now. Going to pickup another truck in the morning, sure hope this one doesn't have problems as well. Good luck with it. Got to sleep now, I actually waited up to see what they did for ya.:biggrin_25525:
