I have a warrenty on a 2005 Ford Diesel Lariet. The turbo failed to work and

I took the truck to a Ford dealership for repairs. The service manager of the shop, told me that they cleaned the turbo and that is Ford's policy, unless the turbo to obviously broken. I have talked to a couple of other diesel mechanic's and have been told that the Ford shop's repair job is not going to resolve the problem and that metal filings from the defective turbo, could ruin the motor. I have not picked up the truck from the shop yet, because they closed early this afternoon. What should I do?

Does this turbo have the adjustable exhaust veins? If so, there is a cleaning factor involved. The question is, what were they actually cleaning out... filings or soot build up from poor quality fuel or build up of soot due to oil seal leakage. If it is the more standard turbo then, yes, the boost machanism can seize up. One of the oiling system problems was a composite gear in the high-pressure oil pump that would shatter. You must do a complete tear-down to get all the left over pieces out. Some of those pieces would lodge themselves in the injectors causing them to fail. All remaining pieces did even more damage in time. Hope this helps you. Also try powerstrokehelp.com.
