In 2012 we bought a used 4300 international with a DT-466. In 2013 with only a 100K.miles we were told by the International dealer that the turbo was about to go out so we replaced it. A few days ago with only 160K miles the Turbo went out again.
What are we doing wrong? We have replaced two turbos on this truck.
While we have not put a lot of miles on this truck we do use this truck everyday.
What causes a turbo to go bad? We have several Fords w/turbos that have just as much miles that are still on their original turbo? I can't say that Fords are better because we have a 2006 Int 4300 that still has the original turbo.

Yes, what was the failure, and were the two failure exactly the same? Lots can go wrong to fail a turbo, especially VGT ones. During a turbo replacement, we recommend to install new oil feel lines and make sure the drain is clear. On a 466, there is a metal mesh screen filter at the oil filter header that the oil supply line screws to. I replace this screen every time if I can to make sure it is clear. You can remove and clean it, but then you have to replace the o-rings. It is easier to get a new filter fitting because it comes with new orings anyway. Other than that, proper engine operation goes a long way along with proper maintenance. Let the engine run for a few minutes before putting it under load, and let it run for a minutes to cool down after a heavy load too. Do not use extended oil drain intervals.
