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. |
