When someone repainted the truck from green to red, they sprayed over the dirty filter indicator and it is barely visible. We are looking to replace the filter first and see what happens. We think the turbo may still be good?
These last 2 pictures - what does the tube that is capped off go too?
The smoke pic is when the OLD air filter and can is back installed as we do not have a new one yet.
The video is WITHOUT the air filter and can installed.
After a long time, we finally got time to take the deuce apart a little more, I got some pictures of the turbo, the air filter and can and the smoke without the air filter and with the air filter back in. We are thinking if we replace the air filter it will help but we are still looking for more...
Just a quick update, the turbo did spin freely when I talked to the other guy, I thought he said at first it did not spin freely. If the slobber tube is what he thinks you are referring too then yes that is where the oil is coming out. Even after the other days fire, the oil level in the truck...
There is no low oil level and the oil level is full. The guy who knows more about diesel engines said it is normal for the oil to come out there. We are thinking of doing an oil change on it because we do not know when the last time it was changed from the previous fire company and then it sat...

That is what the other chief said, there shouldn't be as much black smoke as...
I was finally able to get a picture of the turbo, we were checking the deuce over last night and the turbo does spin. As for an identification number, the only thing we saw on it was a 0798 stamped into the turbo. Pictures are included:
Thanks for the help everyone. I will get pictures soon, it has been super busy.
Martin, we believe it came with it blown but our neighboring department who has had deuces longer than us said it sounded like it was blown since we didn't have much power climbing the slight grade at a joint training.
Hello all,
Our turbo on our deuce has blown out and after talking to the forestry service they said they have a truck they can cannibalize one off of but they are unsure if it will fit on our truck. I tried looking and I cannot find anything myself. The forestry service looked for answers and...
