    With all the problems that you are having and have had with that truck I would unload it. I thought that I read sometime back you had it paid off.

    New turbo, new exhaust manifold, new ecm reprogram, lots of labor.... In the long run you might save yourself some problems and money but short term its gonna cost a bit more than a new vgt turbo.
    Is your turbo now bad???

    I got lots of blow by but no exhaust smoke, I use about a gallon every 8-10k miles (very little leaks on front gear cover and rear main seal) but I've got 1.2 million miles with no inframe.

    Omnitracks has been great. Started here in June and never once have had an issue with it. Well worth the money spent IMO.

    I've never had an issue with keller that was more than a mild inconvenience.
