Default Check engine light issues. Dropped at dealer

Had to drop the truck off at the dealer. Check engine light keeps coming on. Saturday I was pulling a trailer and I gave it gas. The engine lost power and wouldn't go. It straightened out, or I thought, and I drove home. It just came on again so I drive straight to a dealer. No loss of power today though and wasn't hauling a trailer.

One of my turbos failed. Will take a week to fix. 3 days to order and 2 to fix.

2.7 EB 8,500 miles.

Well WOW, Can you get a better explanation of what actually happened to your turbo? Did they give you a loaner, I hope

He said a seal blew out and was letting oil blow by and making the turbo fail.

They'll have a loaner for me in the morning.

Yikes!

Here's to hoping it was a bad part. Just curious how long have you had your truck to put 8500 miles on it?

I got my '14 in January and only have 4,500. That's with a few 200+ mile one way trips and a 30 mile round trip daily commute
