Second Chance -- found out the 350 had perforated holes in three hoses. One was for the turbo which caused the black smoke and little power and two where in coolant lines. As a follow-up, we took off again in January and I slid the 5er into the overhang on our garage and tore off the awning, popped out a window and bent one leveling ram. Tried to get the 5er back around up onto our patio and the 5er got stuck. It stayed there for two weeks but 150# of kitty litter and got it on the patio. It is still sitting there. Truck is stuck in a snow bank . I have tire mats coming Monday so I can try and get the truck into the garage. As to the hoses, one battery had spewed acid out (in the summer - an Interstate) and I'm sure that caused the perforations. I had just bought two new batteries and the company I purchased them from replaced both. They said they have been having problems with the Interstates shorting out so they will not carry them any longer.

Finally got the rig back from the dealer. About $11,000 in repairs and some maintenance items I wanted done. Now to wash/wax it and do my projects on it. Getting ready for our southern trip in Oct. (for 5 months) and then a three month stay in Carrie, NC starting in April, 2024. We have got to get out of these Colorado mountains. Last winter just about killed me. We had about 9 feet of snow at our house. Now we have gone over a month without any rain.

We were headed up a steep incline known a Horseshoe Bend outside of Eagle, Idaho and our Turbo hose blew off. Drove it to Nampa to my Diesel Mechanic (No longer has the business). He gave me a brand new Turbo Hose and installed it at no charge, and away we went. 2017 we were coming back through Nevada on Highway 80 and my 2004 Ford F-350 6.0L experienced catastrophic engine failure. Thousands and a week later we were on our way again with a practically new built engine. After paying that mess off I made the financial decision to get my rig bulletproofed, and it has been running well since [emoji1694]. Recently put an S&B Cool Air Intake in.
My 2022 TT has been to the dealership for the same leaks Three times. Hopefully they nailed it this time. We also had them put Brass fitting vs. the plastic elbows on the plumbing. LP collars on the hoses were also cracked badly and had to be replaced, so I can only imagine (get it?) your pains. Good luck with your future ventures.Karl - USMC - DAV 🇺🇸
