Jeremy thinks it's too muddy to explore. How are the roads?

We’ve had some rain the last few days and I haven’t been out in/near the Swell so I’m not sure. I’d guess he’s probably right though.

I’ll bet it is. We were in mesquite the last 2 days and it’s still a complete swamp around there.

I've got one very similar that was my great uncles. It's a blast to shoot. Theres something so incredibly satisfying about a bolt action.
UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.
As does mine. I’m at the store several times a week and have a great relationship with them. They do lots of rotors for me. Then their lathe broke one day and I was forced to purchase new rotors due to a time crunch. It was down for almost three weeks when I gave up and offered to fix it for them. Took about 20 minutes to get in and tighten a set screw on a gear that came loose. They don’t charge me for rotors now. 😂

So what was it that killed the turbo? Looks like it ate something it shouldn't have..?

My first purchase of what will likely be many from this fine establishment.

From what I learned from an old trucker last year, I think it was to much low idle time. He told me that these Detroits will lose turbos if they spend too much time idling without idling up to around 800 RPM. They apparently will not keep enough pressure to effectively oil the bushing in the turbo. I will assume the 2 previous owners were not aware of that also. It’s only a guess how much idle time it has seen in its 125k miles of life but it is enough to cause the premature failure of the bushing in the turbo.
The damage to the impeller is from the play in the shaft. I am guessing there has been some minor wear going on for awhile with how much quieter the turbo sounds in the cab. Also my EGTs under load are much lower so it has been causing internal heat along with the exhaust temps.
I was worried about the big chunks but my friend wasn’t to concerned since they are much to big to get through the intercooler.

You can. He plugged a BT scan tool into it a couple weeks ago to check an intermittent CEL I was getting. I know he glanced at a few things but do not know if he looked at that. I am still getting a CEL when I have the engine brake on high on long downgrades. Before the turbo failure I would get the CEL on long uphill pulls also, but that is gone now. This is a non VVT turbo The code pointed to an electronic component that has something to do with the control of the engine brake which probably makes sense since I recently developed a strange intermittent “flutter” when it is working up through the first few shifts.

You never said anything about Tuesday. I said it would be muddy yesterday.
