Since the new type Turbo was installed I've had "0" problems with my 07 6.7... Hope this is progress towards a permanent fix???

i'm about to flip 22000 miles on my 07 6.7L...had the engine light come on once right when i bought the truck, but a couple days later i got a recall for an o2 sensore..brought it in and had it changed. Since then i've had zero problems with my engine. all these stories are making me worry. this is the first vehicle i buy and to spend that much money makes me a lil nauseated after reading all these stories.....i see a lot of guys replacing the turbo. This is my first diesel i own. What would be a sign of the bad turbo other than not hearing it whistle? only other thing i had changed was a 4x4 track bar in the front...this was my own fault!! hit a ditch going a lil fast

How long does that last before it rusts your exhaust out ? mine had the same thing, what a piece of crap. Dodge engineers should be fired..

Is that supposed to be one sentence? We don't require perfect grammar here, but some punctuation would be nice.
