ProStar CM871 Turbo (Before Milk2)

[Rawze]

I would toss that quote into the trash can. Nothing on it is of any help except to tell you how fast they can drain your wallet of some big bucks!.

-- Also, if the turbo is leaking oil into the CAC,.. that is kinda normal (its known as turbo slobber), as they tend to slobber when you idle a lot, and when it is cold.

Just check to see if the intake manifold side is not getting wet/soaked with oil too,.. that is when you need to start worrying, otherwise, its no big deal at all.

It looks to me like your problem is that no one has given 2 Shits about that engine or its health up until now ... If you think for one dam minute that the stealers$it or any other repair shop is going to care, or even look past whatever parts they can sell you, then you are gravely mistaken
!!!-- They only put out fires enough to get you out of their door and could give a damn less !!!

The question is WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!? -- because no one besides the truck owner (YOU) is going to start leading that engine down the path that can reverse all this neglect and 'no-give-a-shi#t', driving it around like a blind fool, thinking that regular ACTUAL maintenance and preventative measures aren't necessary every few months. HOPEFULLY, now your eyes are open to this, and you can start down a better path with it.

Start by doing what is recommended by others on here... Get your hands dirty and learn how to own a truck with an actual profit margin, get a better business plan together, and start learn how to keep the equipment you have in good health YOURSELF!!! -- That, or sell it and go back to being a company driver,.. you would make more money.

* New IMAP, new exhaust gas pressure sensor (+ clean out its feed-tube),new Delta-P sensors (egr and dpf)(+ clean out its feed-tube), clean out all egr piping, clean the Doser injector, check it for seepage while the pipe is away from the turbo a bit... on and on.. the neglect needs to be reversed for you to have a fighting chance of making that 'DPF" happy... because that thing IS ONLY A FILTER! -- IT IS THE ENIGNE THAT IS THE PROBLEM, CLOGGING IT UP!.

And lastly,.. remove the DOC and DPF, inspect everything, take pics, post them here,.. and then take them off to the stealersh$it to have them baked and flow tested for a few hundred bucks.

this stuff should have been doine the day you purchased it ... it should have been done several times in its past .. and it is exactly this neglect that has caused it to be the at the shape it is in now ...

IF YOU GET A REGEN REQUEST ALARM OR LIGHT -- YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST THIS GAME AND IT IS ALREADY IN DIRE STRAIGHTS!!!! -- THAT IS HOW BAD IT IS BY THE TIME IT EVEN SHOWS UP ON THE DASH!!! -- That system is akin to the old idiot lights of the 1970's cars.. by the time the light goes off, it waay too late, and some damage has already been done + some major steps by taking things apart and cleaning them all out / replacing sensors/ it necessary to get it back even somewhat right again!. - That 'parked' or 'forced' regen IS the sign that the system has already failed completely!
