Had it in the body shop because we hit a deer down in AL ... thank you... middle of the afternoon also... uggggg.
So, body shop took 1 1/2 months to get it done. When I brought it home it was down on power. I changed both fuel filters, the air filter and when I pulled the air filter it was caked with body shop dust... I mean, PACKED... so, to prove that they ran it a lot in the body shop would be tough so I might just have to eat that as the cause.
The air pathway appears clean. When they were pulling the turbo cover, 2 of the straps that hold the hoses on were rusty and loose... but not off, so something might have gotten past those... again ????
There were no codes thrown other than a quick orange light that said "engine warning" but it didn't leave any codes that I'm aware of. When I ran through the procedure at my keypad it didn't show any.
I believe everything is up to snuff other than the turbo...
Guess I'm in search mode for a turbo and have been checking some sites mentioned here. I need to get the model from the engine seriel # ... but I've been too busy plowing/blowing/melting snow around here to get inside the coach... have you seen NW Mich weather lately?
Thx again for all your help.
