I have a 96 PSD with the turbo saver unit installed. About a month ago, it started to not shut off. This has really become a PITA as the other day my truck ended up running almost 6 hrs before I found out it was still running. I was wondering if anyone else ever had similar issue with one of these units.

well, what controls the turbo saver? it is obviously getting a false reading keeping the truck running.

its gotta be the timer

I'd start to look at things, but I have no idea what to look at since this unit was on the truck when I got it.

I know some times the truck will shut off just by shutting the door hard. Kinda like a loose wire or something needs jarring.

Anybody have any idea where (location) I can find this unit and what it even looks like?

TIA!!


BTW, my initial thoughts were bad temp sensor or ignition switch.

try to unhook the turbo saver and see how it it runs check wiring and connections on it maybe a bad heat sensor on the turbo
