I guess some of you are right. I jinxed myself by reporting how I’ve had no major issues with my truck in 115,000 miles. That dream is officially over now.
Truck originally went in to the shop last week for throttle body failure (P2112, truck stranded me in the middle of the road and traffic three times) and a leaking coolant line on drivers side turbo I’ve had for a few months. Upon inspection they found oil leaking around the turbo oil seal and heard the bearing making noise on the turbo. I noticed the truck hasn’t been as peppy and now I know why.
Anyway, the turbo, coolant line, and throttle body replacement and associated gaskets seals etc are all covered under my extended warranty. Truck has 116,000 miles on it (2015 Limited EL). Not sure why my turbo was leaking but definitely bummed out that such a decently major issue has cropped up this early in its life. My warranty runs out in 3,000 miles so I guess this was good timing.
Arguments between the shop and the warranty company have caused my truck to be in the shop now for 8 days. Thankfully my rental minivan is covered by the warranty company. I’m supposed to get it back either today or tomorrow.
So with somewhat cooling enthusiasm, here’s where I’m at with 116,000 miles:
1. Replaced spark plugs twice
2. Replaced front drivers leaking strut (warranty)
3. Replaced brake pads and rotors surfaced
4. Drilled hole in intercooler to fix stumbling
5. Replaced throttle body (warranty)
6. Replaced drivers turbo (warranty)
7. Replaced drivers turbo coolant line due to leakage (warranty)
8. Front drivers and passengers heated/cooled seats stopped working. Have absolutely no idea why. Second row still heats with no problems.
No catch can, no tunes yet. No mods to speak of other than ForScan tweaks. Still love the truck, but if something else major goes soon, my wife wants me to buy an LX570. [emoji1742][emoji3603]
