Turbo failures are usually a result of idling too much. It's an extremely common problem with contractor vehicles that will idle 8 hours a day when it's hot outside and the workers don't have shite to do but have to stay on the job.

Itd be the dick move of the century, but all the new engines log idle time in the ECM and you can have the shop pull that data for you when you have a failure to see how much time your guys are spending sitting in the truck. The reality of new diesels is that you simply cannot idle them for weeks just for the air conditioner like you could with an old mechanical engine.

Now how to convince a pipeline welder to turn his truck off and sit outside so you don't have to pay for turbo and EGR cooler replacements is far outside of my skill set.
