A friend of mine has an 06 6.0 and the variable vanes quit working. He's been told the vanes can't be cleaned and when replacing get a non variable vane turbo. Sound right??

If the truck is stock i would just put a new controller on. That's the solenoid in the center section of the turbo. We have replaced a bunch of them with never a problem since. Now, if the truck has a tuner on it the turbo needs taken off an the vanes cleaned and the controller changed .

Not to big a job, just aggravating enuff to make a preacher cus! Lol! To change the actuator you don't need to take the turbo off. To clean the vanes you have to take it off ......

What T F, over
Center turbo kinda buried. Aren't these notorious for EGR cooler leaks? Like coolant getting into the turbo/exhaust? I think the oil cooler is buried up there in the center too.
