yj bill Report post Posted June 27, 2016 Smoked the Turbo on our 2004 Cat C7 last Friday afternoon. Limped it 6 miles to a shop with lots of smoke and noise. We are waiting for a damage assessment at this time, hopefully the CAC charge air cooler caught the debris from the bearings and blades. Anyone else loose a Cat Turbo with only 70K on it? Always had great maintenance for at least the time we owned it, last 7 years and 45K miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they pull it, be sure they check the oiled passages for signs of coking. Certainly possible that the OE was not a diligent as you in allowing the turbo to cool down before shutting down the engine. That will kill any turbo. Please keep us posted on what they find.
