Return just sits about an inch down into a grommet so you're right without removing the Turbo it's not something you can really verify. The oil lines are banjo bolts just like brake caliper lines. If you need a photo I've got a Turbo in the garage.

And unfortunately no, without a complete strip and part out there's no way you will see over 5k on your salvaged chassis. You're talking having to sell interior, box, and every drive train component, months of crap.

You have the right to negotiate with insurance if they do not wish to Repair. That's a lot in damage but to "total" they are to pay you fair market value. You won't find one for 5k. Probably 11-15? Put together half a dozen listings of similar vehicles, dealer, marketplace, whatever. Sold or...

Miles aren't listed or shown fyi

My super duty I installed fahren led From Amazon, there's no fan module, they'd work fine.

If yours is oil though typical it'd be oil through intake or exhaust, you have external so more inclined to look at drain line, grommet, or Feed lines/banjo fittings and seals. Similar to a brake line to caliper.

Well for me it was implausible toque codes and some others. I thought maybe vgt actuator so ordered a salvage one, sucky job laying across the engine working at the firewall but you can remove an e clip and move the vane actuator linkage rod. Mind only moved .25-.5 inch rather than inch and a...

End of the road? Sure you could treat it as a throw away but problems are most all solvable. Emissions intact you could have soot from an intake leak, but yes Turbo oil Supply or even seal on drain Tube are plenty likely. Transmission removal to repair or listen to the book and lift the cab...

Yep there's recall for hardware replacement on tone wheel failure that should still be open even with aem update. W58 I believe. You've got tone wheel/reluctor Ring delamination or cracked, it's behind the flex plate around the rear main so transmission removal and a 45$ part. Unless you...

You need to document the codes not just clear them. They tell the story, at your mileage you're due to experience things like a seized Turbo. Gets the implausible torque code. $$

I'd assume these run an idle air control valve like any tbi but I'm not 100%. In my shitbox Days that would be the go to for your typically stuttery/stall at idle. Yours being only in gear though there's a chance your torque converter is failing and losing it's stall point for disengagement. Is...

Is there an actual problem, ie stalling while on brakes in gear? Or are you just bothered by the idle rpms you're seeing?

My experience, failed Turbo. You can remove the intake pipe and Access the actuator below the firewall, remove the e clip on the linkage rod and manually move it, there should be 1.5" or so of travel. Only about 1/2" was my experience, and after removal the turbine was in fact seized. There's a...

Late, but under the firewall side of the intake duct where the vgt actuator is likely unplugged.

What position on the exhaust? Egr and bags just went to scrap but I've got the exhaust portion in Storage yet
