ok, my dad has a ford f350 w/ the 7.3 powerstroke diesel. he has oil leaking out of the turbo, and needs some advice on what to do.

ive been telling him for the longest time that there was something wrong and like usual he dosent trust my advice. so now that someone he paid tells him its wrong i get to rub it in (I TOLD YOU SO) its great.

the shop that he is getting it worked at are telling him that they can just throw new seals in and it will be fine. well i told him dont ------ believe that, that he needs a turbo shop to rebuild it or to get a new turbo.

anyways, im just looking for advice on which direction to point him in, as in a good place to get a new turbo, a good shop to rebuild his old one ( near fort collins, CO), ect. ect. ect.

any advice from you guys would be appreciated.

 

VERY VERY NICE **** SRY I CANT HELP

 

all the 7.3's ive had leak oil it wasn't the turbo itself.

 

Yeah 7.3 Powerstrokes are piles of ----. Have fun taking the cab off too remove the motor

 

well from what ive heard the 7.3 are the best ones, its when ford tried to make a diesel that it went downhill. what leaks on the turbo?

and i dont think that he needs to remove the motor for a leaky turbo if you could explain why that comment applies?

the truck runs fine, its just a turbo problem i believe, anyways he is going to have it checked out and if it needs a new turbo he said he is going to upgrade to the new garrett ball bearing one. i dont know if thats the best route but he is set on it.

 

 

i dont get it? why post two quotes and nothing else?

 

Sorry just off topic blabing like normal. Where is the turbo leaking oil from? out the exhaust, Compressor? how much oil?

 

question and ------- answer ------

 

the 7.3 is a good motor but its made by the same people that make the 6.0l and the 6.4 so no ford didn't start making thier own and ---- up.
