Let us know what you find in the turbo, definately an odd case of no start, glad I could help bouncing ideas around.

Hows your oil? I know most of us change our oil religiously and im sure you do too, but working on some JDs that are running a blend of vegi and #2 sometimes the exhaust gases carry enough 'rough' oil to just bind the turbo enough to not allow it to turn, but a simple 'fingers touch' will break it loose just enough to activate. The reason I say this is because ether would have a loosening effect on the oil, just enough to get going.
But now as i think about it, Im not expert on VGTs, so I may be off or completely wrong |

But now as i think about it, Im not expert on VGTs, so I may be off or completely wrong The first time it happened, ether got it fired, this time not even ether would do the trick. I haven't run veggie in probably 20k miles right now though... been pump diesel since then and nothing else. I'm VERY particular when it comes to my fuel systems. I really don't have an answer as to why it was stuck, other than maybe it's just on it's way out after 80k of abuse on it!? I will know soon enough. If I find a smoking deal on an 03 turbo I'll probably jump on that, or I'm thinking the stage 1 or the hybrid from MTW MAD Turbo Werks - Product Main Page :c: |
Shell Rotella Synthetic is the best, and ive heard that Motorcraft is supposed to be purpose formulated for the psd. I reccomend Rotella in everything, in the bigger JDs we run it the heaviest we can
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- If its your oil, when you pull the turbo, youll find really fine fine gritty stuff, almost like graphite. The fuel might do that too, depending on its quality |
Found this , Im going to pick one up and try. the amp rating is not listed but what the hell :) for $19

read through most of the post, and have worked on quite a few 6.0's... the unison ring is usually what holds the turbo up (makes it sticky)... it is the ring that is controlled by oil pressure that adjusts the turbine wheel.. I would make a video for you, but there are several on utube that do a good job of it
