it finally happened .

12,000 miles of perfect service and i now have to have a new turbo and dpf . all of the sudden without a cel or code my truck started acting like a carbereter with a dead spot . it would fall on its nose spit back and pick up while emitting a huge plume of smoke . sometimes the ebrake would come on violently and wouldn't want to release and other times it wouldn't work at all . the diesel mechanic says turbo is shot and dpf is cracked . i am now dreaming of a day when we could delete this crap and not worry about voiding our warranty . i guess its only a dream though .
