Possible boost leak but no codes: Now, Shaft Play Update

[jordantii]

I think I will, I just don’t know if they will hook me up with a rental or not, and I need to do some truck stufff with it before I leave it with them for a while.

I hear ya. They gave me an Explorer ST! But I need my truck back as I'm driving up to NJ on the 11th.

I’m worried that factory turbos are not going to be available to anyone, maybe Ford has a special arrangement with Garrett but for S&Gs I tried to look up the replacement cost for a stock turbo on Garret’s website and this is what showed up. @Goosetuned are there other retailers offering the stock Garret turbos or are they only selling the upgraded ones?

The factory parts need to be available by law for warranty purposes. They must also maintain inventory for at least 10 years after any model goes out of production. They were back ordered and should be filling those orders now.

well that’s good to know! I wasn’t aware of that, but… an alternative could be if my warranty is up in like 2700mi, and I plan on getting it goosetuned, should I just go with …?

Update: Turbo was delivered yesterday and they are installing today. If all goes well I will pick it up in the morning. I have the complete parts list if you want it. If you want to DM me feel free.

Final Update:

The truck is finally fixed! They did replace the DS turbo. Noise is gone. It was excessive shaft play. Take note of how they were able to diagnose the issue. Thank god for the shop foreman promising me that he would find out what was causing the noise without any codes. He has been working on Fords since 1997. Old school mechanic, pre OBD2 bullshit codes. He did it for the love of the game... @RRaptorscallion0331
