http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Angry.gifa friend called then stopped by this afternoon with a pedistal off his 96 Ford, F350, Power Stroke. Oil runs out of the hole that the waste valve actuator rod comes out of. It dosen't squirt, no bubbles/air in the oil. Just runs a good stream. They first told him his turbo was bad. After the dealer installed a new turbo the problem remained. Then they told him it was the pedistal. He told them if they were certain, to change out the pedistal. Two new pedistals later the same problem remains. Upon start up no leak, at first. Once the computer has run through it's checks after start up and the idle settles back down, then the oil starts running again. Does any one have any ideas? Ford has talked to their turbo people to no avail. Thanks. Mikehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif Edited by: slomoe
