Turbo pedestal question?

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Guy in the next bay is doing an oil cooler/EGR cooler pair on a 2006 (i THINK) F-250. He calls me over and says have a look at this.

 

The bolt on the driver's side of the turbo to pedestal isn't a 10mm. It's a 17mm. We both think that's kind of odd, but figure a butcher's been in there fucking about.

 

So he gets the turbo off and there's a bracket bolted to the HPOP cover that buts up against the pedestal. Two bolts into the top of the HPOP cover and then this thing. Anyone ever seen this before? It's a first for me. Does anyone know it's function?

Seriously in all the 6.0's I've worked on, I've never seen this before, and never had a customer complaint as such on the R.O.

 

However, I did notice that "neutralizing the exhaust" pays quite well. Posted Image

Holy brain fart! For the life of me I couldnt figure out what that was but I remember seeing it before. Now that you mentioned the TSB # I now remember that i did this TSB ONCE. I dont remember it being 100% effective but it did help
