Looks like my turbo quit working and truck is blowing white smoke out exhaust. Does anyone know what is wrong???

Need some more info.

Did this happen while you were driving?
Did it make a sound?
How do you know its a turbo?
Does the truck still drive?
Any Check engine Lights?

I was going down highway with trailer and going up hills i noticed that tranny was having to downshift to 4th to maintain speed of 70. After about the 3rd hill I started to listen for turbo spool. I wasn't able to hear any. I pulled over and checked under hood for anything out of norm. All hoses were connected and saw no leaks. I started it back up and heard kind of a growling noise for turbo spool and white smoke coming from exhaust.

They think it is a plugged cat.
What is a safe temp range to run. I have a data logger to monitor

I was going to say if your turbo went out I would expect black smoke. Sorry no Idea on what temp is safe. How far do you have to go?
