Sorry for this question, I did have the guts to register at the dieselstop just to ask this question.
Ok, a guy I work with just bought another powerstroke (he says he needs 4 real doors, but he has no kids, I think it is an excuse not to buy a real truck). His first one went 170,000 miles and only needed 2 trannys, 2 turbos, and some other stuff. Now he bought another, pre superduty. (97-older). it is a 5-speed, with 4. 10s, F-250. It has somewhere around 100K on it, and the motor has already been rebuilt once, and the turbo has been replaced once, and it has a new clutch. Now, when he is pulling a heavy load (heavy to him is 7K) and he lets off the gas, he says it vibrates real bad. He said he thinks it is acting sorta like when his turbo went south on his old one. what do you guys think? What turbos do psd's use in that era? I only know 3 people with power jokes in the 96-97 era and they have all replaced turbos. I think Im gonna put a Cummins sticker on their trucks so maybe they'll have better luck with them!!!!
Thanks,
Jeff
