While going down a steep towing my trailer the EB started making this annoying screeching sound, it only did it under a load. Took the truck in and explained what was going on and I told them it only does it under a load. I mentioned Check the rear exhaust manifold to egr cooler gasket. They kept the truck a week then reported they couldn't find anything. I reminded them it only does it under a load but I thought with all their diagnostic equipment they have they might be able to find the problem. They asked if I could bring my trailer there and we go for a ride so I did, mechanic heard the noise and said it's a bad turbo since the truck is out of warranty I paid out of pocket, not a cheap repair, I picked the truck up hooked up my trailer and drove up a mountain near by the same noise is still there. I called the shop and they asked me to come back with truck and trailer again and we went for another ride and the mechanic heard the noise again. Now they need to contact Chrysler to get an ok to replace the turbo again so Chrysler said go through everything and make sure it isn't another issue I said didn't you guys already do that when you had my truck for a week? Yes they did but it's what Chrysler is requiring. Ok got approval for another turbo picked up truck went back up the mountain and once again same noise only now it's worse it even does it without a load so I called the shop this time they didn't require me to bring the trailer, they kept the truck four days and I asked if they put another turbo on and was told no the mechanic just went through everything and tightened up everything so I knew right away it wasn't going to be right. I took the truck around the block and EB on and tow haul slowing down coming to a stop sign and bingo there is the noise again. Now they are going to meet with the service manager and see if they can possibly find a brand new turbo, the other two were rebuilds, well it's impossible to get a brand new turbo. So now they are going to have their top guy look at the truck, I'm like I thought they guy working on it already was the top guy anyway the truck was dropped off yesterday and we will see what happens. Mu gut feeling is it isn't the turbo issue at all but a leak in the system. On the bright side at least they keep paying for rentals, I had a Challenger, a Hemi 1500 pu, some Altimo hybyrd and now I'm in a Charger.
If anybody has any suggestion on where this expert mechanic can look I'm all ears.
BTW the truck is 2008 CC with 58k on it
