My F250 finally bit me in the bu##
After 15 years and only 85,000 miles my F250 hit me in the wallet this week. All the dash gauges, radio, door locks and window buttons would just stop working. It is an intermitted problem, sometime...

They all bite us eventually. My Ram got me twice in the last 6 months. Turbo went bad in October ($3,000 variable fin type of course) and I just got hit with the dreaded Dodge death wobble last week. Thankfully I wasn't towing. $2,000 going into front end parts on Monday.
Still cheaper than a $75,000 replacement truck.
Did you replace it with another VGT or go with the less expansive and more reliable fixed geometry unit? I am guess you went back to a VGT since it cost you $3k and a standard fixed geometry with a the new manifold and all hardware to install will generally cost half that.
I did go with the VGT. I like the exhaust brake. I compared the fixed with an add on exhaust brake to the VGT and they come out very close in price. I wanted to do some deletes but that happened just as Bullydog was getting fined and stopped selling the tuners that supported deletes.
