I have an 05 2500 w/ the 5.9 turbo deisel. I have noticed a lot of black smoke coming out the tail pipe(more than it use to) and also the oil level running low in between oil changes. I got to looking and around the turbo i noticed oil leaking..both wet and a build up of oil around the tubro. I was wondering if there is a rebuild kit for the turbo or seal kit or something. Any suggestions on how to fix this or what my problem could be? thank u in advance.
On a side note i was hooking up a trailer electric brake and got the wires mixed up it arched and now i don't have tail lights when the key is off(like normal) only when the key is on and it is a delay for lights to come on...any ideas where a fuse maybe for this prblm or anything i can do to fix it? i have gone through pretty much all the fuses under the hood already...

 

to answer your turbo question the turbo will have to be sent out to have it fixed the seal is gone and soon it will go all the way and then suck the engine oil into the intake like it is already doing but not running off YET when it runs off you can only stop it by blocking off the air intake. A CO2 fire ext. works good or a piece of plywood works also but you have to have it ready for when it does run off and precut it to fit over the air inlet
So leave engine off take off the air hose that comes off the airbox to the turbo and stick your hand in the turbo and move the impeller shaft. you will see it as soon as you take of the tube. Its going to move IT SHOULDN'T MOVE UP OR DOWN IN AND OUT. It should spin freely but its not going to. The bearings are gone and the truck shouldn't be driven like this or it will RUN OFF

A rebuilt turbo is going to be about 1000+ because your impeller has already hit the sides of the turbo and if the housing is junk too then even more money. SO if this was me I would just buy a new turbo Aurora 3000 or if you have a tunner and all the good stuff added 4000 If everything is trashed its atleast going to be $1300+ for your stock hx32 to get rebuilt
some sites to look at ebay is the worst you never know what your getting plus they want your old turbo as a core and if its no good then $450 core charge. plus You don't know what kinda shop they have some guy in a basement slapping these together without balancing the impeller shaft. By the time that turbo goes He's gone changed his name number and address

So try www.doghousediesel.com I'm going to buy a Aurora 4000 from him with injectors. the first thing he will ask you is what do you do with the truck tow or race? I told him little bit of both
Just tell him Pizzo sent you he will get whatever you need. With the right set up for your truck
