Call von at Area Diesel Service in Carlinville Illinois. . He might have a solution for you with an alternative turbocharger to an overpriced one from a dealer.

If it was me and all i was wanting to do was get the light off ( provided there is no problem ) id take the bulb out of the dash an drive it.

You do not have to replace the entire turbo. You can replace just the actuator. Those are known to stick and go bad. Still not a cheap fix (part is $400 roughly) but if you want to retain the factory exhaust brake and keep the current turbo that’s your best course of action.

A good diesel shop would definitely be able to fix that for you. You may be able to do it yourself depending on how handy you are.

Good luck

In some states you can't just take the bulb out. You have to clear the code to pass the emissions test.

You don't get stopped it's when you get your yearly inspection. You can not have any codes to get your sticker.
