Early 6.7 turbos had problems; later ones are better.

WE CHECK We check boost, listen to the turbo, and note the build year.

EGR coolerCommon

The EGR cooler can clog or leak.

WE CHECK We scan for EGR faults and check coolant condition.

Radiator / coolantCommon

Cooling-system issues show up over time.

Common service bulletins (TSBs)

A TSB is a note the maker sends to dealers about a known fix. They are not recalls. We check the bulletins so we know what to look for:

Engine & Drivability121

Cold-start noise, drivability, and idle issues for this vehicle. We test for each.

Power Train · Automatic32

Shift quality and transmission fluid updates. We drive every gear.

Electrical & Body101

Locks, wipers, infotainment, and trim items. Small, but good to know.

Counts are pulled from NHTSA's public Manufacturer Communications file. Full bulletins stay with the maker — we use the summaries to guide the inspection.

Common questions

Yes, the turbo and tuning improved. We note the year.

Where do you inspect?

All 48 states.

Recalls?
