2004 f250 6.0L, on acceleration, I have popping noise, black smoke, intermittent lack of power. Especially on hills. Does this sound like I have a bad turbo?

 

The census here say it's turbo time.

 

First thing I would check would be the oil. Since this system fires under pressure, I would make sure the oil is clean and full. Second, the black smoke could be an indication of an IPR failure, turbo, or a few other items. Guessing its a turbo is a costly mistake. Anywhere from $850. to $1100. depending on whether you have a cold weather package. Inspect the turbo to see if there is any indication of blade damage or looseness in it, before just putting one on.

 

I had it checked out at my local dealer "I can't go without my work truck" and they told me the turbo needs to be replaced.Not what I wanted to here, but atleast I know what I need to do.They quoted me 1250.00 for a new turbo that seems high to me?

Sure I stock all of the 6.0 turbos Call me monday a.m. 360-659-4000 and I will see what we can do for you.
