Getting Sick Of This Thing!

[crobertson1]

The latest issue I'm having with my POS is what the dealer has termed as a "No-Boost Response" Basically I go to move out onto the open highway, and the truck starts building boost like usual. Then all of a sudden it's like the thing ran out of breath and theres no pedal, the truck is still going and the motors running, but will not pull my 12K trailer onto the freeway. This has happened three times already while towing heavy. Truck runs great empty, but has this boost issue when asked to actually do some work. I took the truck in last week for my concern, it's been there since last monday. The Service writer called today to tell me that there is a Soot! build-up inside the variable geometry turbo housing, they have ordered me a new pedestal and housing, but have the work on hold because the tech thinks my 8 1/2" turndown tip may have caused an "overboost" scenario, making the vanes inside the turbo housing stick, a "Cummings" rep has been called to come in tomorrow and make a call if warrantable or not.

My MEGACAB passenger door has developed a leak around the seal. Sorry it won't accept the image horizontally, but has no problem vertically (resolution)
