[QUOTE="squeezer, post: 2039474, member: 31783"] “Long time listener first time caller” Have a 2019, bought new, 30K miles. 5K oil changes, I drive like I’m driving Miss Daisy. Purchased but not installed stage 2 system from Goosetune. Plugged the Cobb Accessport in and did their base tune a while back. About the same time noticed a slight whine. sounded like it could have been tires. Didn’t give it much thought… Fast forward to a few weeks ago. A family situation (Father in law cancer treatment…) pushed the wife and I into buying a travel trailer for our three week “Vacation”. Road trip from Portland Oregon to Northern Saskatchewan via Jasper (Might as well show the kids the Rockies). Built a custom spring pack (will post more on that later as the results exceeded all expectations). Had the dealer do an oil change, installed the factory tune and hit the road. Truck was running fine, handled the 5000# trailer well on the drive North. Night one was spent in Kamloops BC at a friends farm. Morning routine is to check oil cold… Hmmmmm It’s barely on the stick and dirty… I add two quarts of Mobil 1 and cuss the sloppy dealer service. My walk around also shows that the pipes are a bit sooty compared to usual. Hmmmm, the engine is running 6-8lbs of boost all the time, burning twice the fuel, using tow/haul so lots of engine braking. Going to chalk that up to the duty cycle and not worry about it. Next fuel stop (300 miles or so) the oil is low on the stick but within the dots. Added a quart and headed over the mountains. Night two is just outside of Edmonton at my aunts house. We park there for two days enjoying some family time. Yesterday I’m doing the pre flight and the oil is not on the stick *@#R%^&** This is not good!!! Five quarts of oil in 1000 miles has my attention. Top it off and point the wheel towards Saskatchewan. Traveling with two kids and a dog gives one lots of opportunity for pee breaks. One of those breaks yesterday was on the side of a relatively busy highway… The boy jumps out, pees with the prairie wind at his back and we are rolling again. I get into the truck about 3/4 throttle, see a whiff of black smoke and hear a chatter/rattle from what I think is the passenger side engine compartment. (Hold that thought) 300 miles latter we have stopped at my wife’s uncles farm for a visit/snack. I check the oil again and add a half quart. Consumption isn’t as bad on the flats which makes sense based on not having to climb or engine brake anywhere near as much as the last two days. I also check the air filter WHICH IS HEAVILY COATED WITH OIL ON THE ATMOSPHER SIDE. This strikes me as weird as the housing is clean, almost looks like it was oiled on purpose. (Not a K&N, stock Ford…) I am at a loss as to how a filter gets oiled on the “Dirty” side while the housing and plenum is clean. The engine side of the filter is not oiled at all… Replace the filter in the parking lot of Lakeland Ford in Prince Albert Saskatchewan and head North to the in-laws. Truck is running 2-3 pounds less boost at the same speed on level ground suggesting the filter was restricted. This brings us to now. Have just spent a few hours cruising the net and am heading to the truck to do some trouble shooting. The factors: “Tire Noise” ===> Turbo dying Oil Cinsumption===> Turbo dying Chatter/rattle on high boost condition===> Turbo dying Plugged filter===> Kills Turbos Thinking the plugged filter took out the passenger side turbo. Not sure how much disassembly is required to verify that fact. Assuming it is one or both turbos what are the best fix options? OEM Garrett Upgrades ??? I have about 10 days to decide on the fix, order parts, and install them. I am a pretty decent mechanic and have access to all the standard tools a guy might need. No hoist and might have to borrow jack stands to pull the wheels. If upgraded turbos are the choice can they run with a stock tune (towing at 65MPH) for 1500 miles? Number one priority is not breaking down on the way home. Thoughts and comments are welcome Thanks in advance sq [/QUOTE]
