I hope someone can shed some light on my situation I have an 09 dodge 2500 6.7 I was on the way home from getting some fuel and I just happen to look out of my mirror and I can’t see anything behind me truck is just pouring white smoke and it felt like I was building 0 boost so I thought I just blew an intercooler boot but that didn’t explain the white smoke it was running fine wasn’t missing or anything got it home and upon shutting truck off I heard the worst racket from under the hood so I thought the worst I popped the hood started it back up and found it was comming from the turbo area so I popped the air intake off and started it again and found the turbo wheel was hitting the housing I shut the truck off and stuck my hand and grabbed the wheel and I can move it up and down and in and out with ease so it odviously needs a turbo my question is why is it dumping white smoke out maybe it took the seals with it any help would be great

Stock turbo? If so the VGT actuator has a coolant line going to it. Might be worth pulling the valve cover and taking a look to eliminate milkshake oil from being a problem but I’m betting with the boost and smoke conditions you’re talking about you’ve blown the turbo and it’s pouring coolant into the hot turbine housing.

White smoke is coolant.

The white smoke is oil. With the shaft wobbling around like that it is dumping oil into a hot exhaust.

When my turbo went (literally ~2 weeks ago), I got a load of BLACK smoke due to the oil running out the exhaust side.

do it matter, coolant or oil? Either way that turbo is trashed, a new one will resolve it all.

you should be able to use your nose to determine what fluid it is.. coolant smells sweet, oil smells like oil!
