Ok, need to close up this thread.
Got another turbo shipped to me thanks to Rayzer (you can count on a woodworker to make a nice shipping box) and installed it while parked-up in the NF.
After that everything sounded normal again. The turbo did seem to kick in a bit later than I was used to...
Looking to have 4 G177's on rims moved from Ridgway Co to Reno.
The tires are loose and not on a pallet.
Have a bit of a deadline but might be able work around it.

DW - Thanks, but right now those locations don't mean much. I've been full-timing again and that's not an option for locations on this site. :-/
Current location is Clint's Well in N.Ariz.
I will definitely be down around those areas come winter. :-]

Ok, checked over a bunch of things. The engine still runs well, no miss or stumble in the idle or running.
Did find oil in the intake, cleaned the air filter best I could, and put it back together.
It ran w/ the exhaust dirty, not blue but too brown for it to be idling.
When I picked up the...
Wouldn't it need to be bad enough to set off the indicator that's in the cab?
I've heard that these stock filters can be washed, like w/ soapy water?

I'll pull that hose tomorrow when I check for oil going that way and see if I can find any leaks.
Air filter is dirty, but don't see where that would make things change all of a sudden.
Will check the injectors as you recommend.
The head gasket was one of my first two thoughts. Any easy way...
Not sure what you mean by that. Is that the hose that connects the turbo to the intake?
It looks good and is still flexible. I don't see any issues there. Clamps are all good.
I do not have a boost gauge.

Not that I really have anywhere else to be once I start having issues. :-]
The issues,
was running up hill for about 30 miles, was in 4th, just keeping it from overheating.
Then it seemed like something popped. Couldn't really hear it well, ear plugs and music, but then I lost a lot of...
Anyone in the 4-corners area that has any 900x20 tires. Have a woman friend that is now w/o a spare. So far she's lost two tires and now is running w/o a spare. Willing to buy if there are any in the area.
Her route is from Holbrook, Az to Silverton, Co.
I'm in contact and can pass on any...
Yes. It's got an interface that let's you monitor many forums, post and reply, post pixs, etc. Much nicer and easier than going to the desktop version when your on a phone.

With that I agree. A little gasoline in a spray bottle has been my "go to" this past fall/winter. I find it much gentler in the start up.
If I do use ether it's from a spray can and I use less then the mounted system.
With the gasoline I pull off the mushroom, spray a couple squirts on the air...
If it doesn't have a "permanent" box on the back w/ (I think) 3 of the things listed it won't get RV status. Even a slide-out camper won't get your truck RV'd.
I've reg'd a few of my builds as RV's in arizona.
Ok, I have my engine out and figured it was a good time to do that steering box rebuild.
First problem - can't find the pitman shafts bushings anywhere.
