If its under warranty make the dealer fix it.

That sounds good but, It all is going to wash into the intercooler and with the air flow the Super Tec Carb cleaner will evaporate and leave all the junk behind in the cooler. You can spray Super Tec Carb cleaner on your work bench and blow it with your air hose and it will evaporate before it goes to far. so you are just moving the junk from one spot and putting it some where else. just my .02 cents

 

I had my truck come up with the turbo super boost code once at about 12K... I reset the code, and put the thing in 5th gear and held it up at about 2600 to 2800 rpm on teh highway for a good 20 miles, ever since then I now run the exhaust brake 100% of the time, and once a week I make a point to lock the truck in 5th gear on my way to and from work... I haven't had a single problem since. I have about 21000 on it now, and other then a fuel leak coming from the front of the motor somewhere that I'm calling the dealer about tomorrow, I've had no other problems. I usually, bring all my trucks in once a year for a tranny, transfer case, front and rear differential fluid changes, so that way there's some record of the maintenance being done, and it also gives them the chance to look the truck over while they have it there to see if there's anything else starting to act up.

I've head alot about the turbo sooting... but knock on wood I've had just that one code then that was it. I think I blew it out on my hard ride home that day, and since I started doing that on a regular basis, it's been happy. I did make one trip from CT to knoxville and back to pick up my new auto hauler, 1880 miles round trip... truck burnt some fuel on the way home with the 24 foot box on the back (average 12 mpg @ 70mph) and it's seemed to run better since that trip too, fwiw. Way down with the old hauler I traded with the guy (open 18 foot) I did see about 17.8 mph and was going about 75 the whole way, except when it was snowing, that part I kept it around 60 but was in 4wd.
