Detroit Series 60 DDEC 6 - NO VPOD?

There is something in DDDL called a turbo hysteresis test. This will help diagnosing turbo problems.

 

What did you end up doing? I’m in the same boat. DDEC6 epa07. Turbo was coughing blowing heavy black smoke so I replaced turbo but now it whistles like CRAZY. I dunno if that’s normal. Then i found metal shaving in oil so new rod and bearing. New leaf spring bushing. Two deletes because first one wasn’t done righ. I’m in pretty deep. Now the truck is on the side of the road with maybe a bad ecm I’m getting better diag tomorrow. One tech scanned and codes read bad crank case and cam shaft sensor among low voltage and battery . I’m starting to regret this year model. And I’m also only getting 5.5 mpg.

 

I know this is a older post but I also hv a ddec6 2009 freightliner...how did you get it to 1850 ft lbs torque..I had mines deleted also and horsepower is 515&1550 ft lb torque and us weak off the line& dont pull good on hills

 

No V-Pod on DDEC 6 Series 60, it has a VGT Actuator. Big bucks to replace this turbo.
