I own a 2011 F150 with the Ecoboost engine and while it can be a pain to work on, I still love my engine. It's a really fun truck to drive and will get up and go!
Replacement of both would be best but not buying a vehicle with a turbo engine is better ! Most owners do not maintain them very well. At least in my 45 + years as a mechanic. 2nd owners are the ones who foot this bill.
You are spot on most people that buy new do minimal maintenance and then unload them before they have to foot a repair bill leaving the new owner holding the bag.
Back in 2015 I bought a brand new F150 with 3.5 twin turbo and my buddy bought a brand new GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 DOD (Displacement on demand). Nine years later, similar mileage (~190,000 km), lots of towing including RV's, boats, utility trailers. The GMC is in the shop for lifter failure/cam replacement. Apparently its a common failure on these engines. So far the twin turbos are still humming along. When they do wear out, and they will, it's far less expensive than engine repair. Not to mention, she has plenty of kick, very fun to drive.
Kenny- I replaced both turbos on my 2014 with 209000 miles- because the exhaust manifold all leak badly. Check your job, they leak at the rear, BD Diesel makes a superior replacement. The oil line MUST be removed and the screen at the other end MUST be cleaned or replaced- they clog and that leads to turbo failure. I replaced all the coolant and oil lines and all fittings. I also ditched that restricted exhaust flange for a bigger one, a few places sell them. The 3 bolts holding the turbo to the manifold should be replaced as they are an interference fit into the flange. I watched many hours of TH-cam and tackled mine took 2 weeks but it works perfectly. Fordtechmakuloco explains it all very well. Those push fittings, though ........junk. I think yours needs new coolant and oil lines. You do NOT want to do this again.... Good Luck Kenny!!
I can only imagine that conversation between the order taker at the parts store and the driver, "he only needs the one side, make sure you grab the right one".
Wow! Sad to see you have to go through that whole remove/install process again. I guess the good news is that you wont have to deal with the frozen bolts this time. It is interesting to note that these kind of things happen to the pro's, I have had to re-do to many of my do it yourself repairs because of defective parts.
Kenny at first seeing this : must be a clogged oil returnline Always replace the return line (don't clean it, it contains burned oil) The returnflow keeps the oil level at the bearings at a specific level, so with a clogged return the oil level rises obove the wanted level and a leak occurs.
Wife had a 2015 Lincoln mkc. 2.0 litre echo boost only 65 kilometres. 40k miles. Turbo. Was starting. To leak It looked like a pain in the ass to replace I let that baby go to another home . We Looked @ the 2023 rx. 350 it’s 4 cyl. Turbo She didn’t like the way it drove. It’s noisy. Auto start on off crap. I said get the 2022 is that last year they make the v6. Naturally aspirated
@@on-site4094 If you're doing the work yourself, its not a difficult job. The exhaust is on the back side of the engine, and there's a big crossmember that needs to come down. Once you do that, you'll have plenty of room to get the turbo out. It looks worse than it is. If you get the workshop manual for your vehicle, it will give you step by step instructions for every nut and bolt on the job.
gotta love these engineers ho get paid big bucks never thinking things all the way thrue I spent almost$1000to fix some oil lines on my turbo ford edge turbo.
The whole time I’m watching you fight with those mounting bolts I’m yelling at the monitor “ there’s a large rubber grommet in the footwell!” Pull it, and it gives you direct access to those bolts from inside the cab. I’ve done this job myself. Didn’t have problems with the turbo it was my leaking exhaust manifold that I replaced with a BD diesel.
Kenny, Thank you very much for taking the time to record and post these types of videos. This is exactly what the "backyard" wrench turners like myself are looking for when we come to TH-cam!
Quick tip to force camera to focus on small things: put palm of your hand right behind the small thing u want camera to focus on ... Learned it from other youtubers ... Or if u cannot put palm behind the object because filming with one hand etc try to put the small object against a bigger object a table etc
I know a lot of times it's highly subjective on mileage because things can break at any time but I always heard that the turbos are quite a common thing on those engine models at least having to change it at least once during the engine's life but the newer ones I think around 17 and up our less prone to that turbo failure
A couple of years ago I was looking for a replacement for my '06 F150 with a 4.6L, and all I could find were trucks with the Eco-Boost engines. I have a couple of friends that have them, and they have both had turbo problems, so I gave up and kept the old truck. Salesmen really pressured me to go with one, but I wasn't convinced. Simple is better. Admittedly they put out a lot of power and get bett Good video Kenny.er fuel mileage, but over the long run, if you have any problems with them, the costs outweigh the savings, IMHO. Good video Kenny, looks like it was a real bear to change. Bummer on having a leak and having to do it all over again. 😦
The F250 with the gas engine is a more sensible option. 6 speed trans, no vvt, normal fuel injection system, no push button start, etc.. It has some newer tech on it but its not a rolling computer network like an F150. Its a lot cheaper too. I haven't seen one for a while because I work at a Lincoln only dealership, but sometime within the last 2 years, the window sticker was under 40k. Everyone overlooks that particular truck.
Never heard so many people say no go on the turbo. 1st time viewer of this channel and I like it. I’m a back alley tech and a good friend has a 16 expo. Xlt and I have a feeling I’ll be doing one if not both sides. He’s at 267K id say he’s about due. Thanks for the insight and definitely have a new sub.
@Cully-Wully turbos aren't bad. At 267, it's more than time. You've got this. Thanks for the sub. Let us know how the project goes. Keep wrenching 🔧 Kenny
@41:55 I believe "bottoming tap" is what you refer to here. You can improvise one (particularly just for thread cleanup) by filing a couple of slots lengthwise in a bolt. A plug tap can be converted into a bottoming tap by cutting the tapered end off, but this has to be done with care and a lot of cooling so the heat of cutting doesn't anneal the tap and make it soft. Those tap sockets are AWESOME for getting into tight spots that can't fit a traditional tap wrench.
I noticed when you took the drain line loose you did what I always did when I was wrenching as a machine repairman at GM for 30 years, you took the most difficult bolt out first, always thought if I get the hard part done the easy one is a piece of cake. Lol
I just bought a 2013 f150 3.5 ecoboost..1 owner and the motor is mint..guy maintained it real good. Atleast the turbo placement isn't like a audi etc and replacements are pretty easy. Full race makes inconel studs and bolts for the turbo to manifold side.
Good video . I use to own an car with a turbo will never own another one . I bought an f150 they tried to sell me one with a turbo and I said if they couldn’t get me a 5. O no deal they found me one and I love it .
Although many prefer a "longer" video, I, being a mechanic(45+ years), prefer the shorter ones you used to make, as the removing & tightening of parts is trivial UNLESS there is some unusual item that sets it apart from the mundane.
Unfortunately I had to modify a tool which took more time. Several viewers requested to make a turbo video. Some of them are backyard mechanics & wanted to see the entire job. You are definitely not one of them. Thanks for your patience & continued support. Keep wrenching!

Is there a reason that anticize was not used on the flange bolts were the turbo bolted to the engine. I saw were you were having difficulty getting the bolts out and would think having anticize on them would be easier to remove them next time. Good job at removing and replacing the turbo. First time I have seen this on you tube.
Hi Kenny ,just a random question .Do you and other car mechanics leave your power tools on the chargers in the shop over night ,I mean is it safe ? I don't only because I'm not sure .All the best from Australia..
Hi to Australia! I don't know if it's safe or not, but I wouldn't chance it either. A local shop burned to the ground & they investigator said it was from a plugged in device. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching 🔧
That’s funny the one turbo I did on one of those a few years ago had the same leak when I installed it. I was able to get the plug out and regasket it and finally got it tight to stop leaking. One of the worst jobs ever
I get the faster spool of 2 small turbos, but why not go with one larger turbo now that these have 10 speeds? I’d think the gearing could negate the lag..? Twins just seem like more headache 🤕
This turbo is still not too bad compared to my Mazda CX7 Turbo which hides deep between firewall and back of engine... it's so hard to access, that pulling the engine is almost worth it!
The turbo's on a cx7 are very easy to replace. It comes out from the bottom. You don't get if from under the hood. It can easily be done in under 2 hours.
@@AT-wl9yq I have the AWD version - I guess removing the transfer case would give access from the bottom... not sure how easy it would be to remove transfer case from bottom though...
Kenny, are you aware that a oil filter for the Ford turbo exists at Rock parts list? The last and only turbo I ever had was a black Saab 900 turbo with those wild aztec wheels..too bad it did perform as cool as it looked.
It would be too thoughtful and convenient for car makers to put anti-seize on bolts at the factory which they may assume might need to be removed for service.
Hey brother Kenny, before I forget I have paused the video to be sure that I ask you how do you get that debris from out of the front fender and better yet how can you keep it from showing up there in the first place. As to the "Jesus" clip holder-remover, I have no problem with that as even the best Christian would likely call out the name if they lost it.
Snyggt jobbat...👍 Jag gillar verkligen dina längre videos, fortsätt så 😁 Till skillnad från många andra så gillar jag "turbodrivna", har en Saab själv mycket fina bilar enligt mig själv som Svensk 😅
Repair-Pal estimates for this one only left side turbocharger is $1500 to $2000 dollars. I'll continue with my V6 non turbo 2015 Toyota Tacoma thank you very much!! By the way, all of that brittle plastic and degradable rubber exposed to all of that engine heat is a potential vacuum leak just waiting to occur.
Baby start mentioning the mileage of the real connection starting to work on so people can kind of get an idea of who follows closely I want to expect on a certain models
You can guarantee that a mechanic is extremely competent if he allows an audience to watch him perform a task that he has never done. 👍
Its called ALLDATA.

If you don't change / clean that $25.00 screen filter then you just wasted $1,000 because the turbo will not get enough oil.
EXACTLY! Fortunately mine were clean. Change yer oil @3000 miles, or else,,,,,,,@@jimmieb1970
That's a very good point. Makuloco was stressing that very thing when he replaced an Ecoboost turbo.
It happens to the best of us, don't sweat it, it will get done. I installed a bad engine before, you know that's a drag.
