Take your truck to advance and have them use their generic obd2 scanner to scan for codes. It's free

If the amber wrench light is on, probably not the turbo.

As others mentioned. Get the code. Get a device to read the coolant temp and the oil temp after operating temperature 60mph on a flat road. Should be less than 15 degrees. If more the oil cooler is plugged.

Is the original coolant in the truck? If so, flush it a few times prior to changing oil cooler and then put Caterpillar EC1 coolant in it with a coolant filter.

yes, coolant has not been changed, original

Sorry not to mention my credentials but I do hold many ford certifications including 7.3 6.0 6.4

who makes a good tuner for my 2011 ford 6.7 and will i gain any mpg with one.

all I can say is not driving the truck everyday leads to killing turbos they have a issue...I do not drive my duramax much at all, sits in garage until we need to tow usually, no turbo issues, sounds like some high paid engineer screwed up...

Brandonb_05 01-17-2016 09:24 AM

I agree with you, I also own a duramax.

I don't know of the best programmer for the 6.7 but I know the sct was a really good programmer for the 6.0. You might want to see what they offer for the 6.7
