Darn, I missed the removed comment... I dont know how bad it was but this guys posts were shaping up to be a lesson in buying in to or owning something thats on its last leg and about to belly up. With no money and no desire to put whats needed in to fixing it (which is both money and desire to fix it properly) so it can be profitable and reliable again, this truck is doomed to be a money pit. You can't have one or the other and run a successful trucking company. Both need to be in place.

At 1.2 million miles the engine is on real borrowed timed. If the OP owns this truck with this many miles and zero intentions of putting money in to bringing it back to a reliable state then the only result is gonna be failure. At 1.2 million it NEEDS an overhaul. That should have been budgeted in with the ownership of the truck. Also with an overhaul it probably needs a pile of other things. Which again, should have been budgeted in with the ownership of the truck.

Everything that was posted all leads to a business model of nickel and diming yourself in to bankruptcy. Unplugging and blocking (demandate without proper programming) will stress, damage and destroy whats left of that 1.2 million mile engine. Its what they call the final nail in the coffin.

Rust falling off the turbo when manually moving the actuator probably points to it not operating. Which means it has problems such as air leaks, control module shot, possible actuator shot or even the turbo itself is bound up internally. And if its been driven for any amount of time with the turbo veins froze in place then more than likely the turbo is toast and heat build up from the turbo not working is most definitely destroying the engine.

You can't half ass repair these new commercial engines without it affecting other parts of the engine. The whole set up works as one. They are very profitable when cared for properly. But they are down right money pits if you want to neglect them.
