Turbo replaced at 3500 miles (RAM 2500 6.7)

[DMosby]

Yesterday my 2008 Dodge RAM 2500 with 6.7 turbo diesel had the check engine light come on with a P2262 code. My translation is "turbocharger Boost Pressure Not Detected - Mechanical" based on a list someone else posted to the TRD forums.

I took it in to the dealer today fully expecting them to tell me they were going to clean the turbo based on what I have been reading. I also was concerned that this would be the start of my long adventure with turbo problems.

I just about fell out of my chair when the service advisor came in after about 30 minutes and told me they were replacing the turbo. Truck had 3524 miles when the check engine light came on and about 3534 when it rolled into the dealer.

The service advisor told me that they have not had any problems with these once the turbo is replaced. I sure hope that turns out to be true as I really do enjoy driving the truck.

Truck does not sit and idle a long time. I do warm it up if cold with me sitting in it for a minute or so and then drive it gently for a couple blocks and cool it down to below 400 degrees when I'm stopping. That is typically not too long. But no extended idle. I am not driving with the exhaust brake on.

Does anyone know if the new turbo is a new design and if so what changed? I sure hope it is.
