In Reply to: Turbos again! posted by showcrop on March 21, 2014 at 15:06:37:
ill put my 2 cents in here for what its worth, i hauled turbocharged equipment all the time, always without exception, the stack was taped off, while the turbo may or may not spin up, the reason the stack is covered is forgine debris, turbos dont like junk in them, dirt, bugs, rcck chips ect do very bad things to them , hauling with the stack facing foward which in a lot of cases is the only way the machine will fit on the trailer, ie excavators which must have their booms tucked down inthe well on the rear of the trailer graders, one of ours is so long that the front wheels have to ride on the stub decks bewteen the 2nd and 3rd trailer axle, in order to re attach the neck of the trailer after loading it, while the chances of forgine debris finding the 6 to 8 inch hole of the exhaust stack other than encounerind a dust devil or high winds, may be small, it still can happen, i dont ever want to have to explain to the boss why his equipment had a turbo failure, and all that encompases right after a couple hundred mile ride on my truck! as for free spining, the turbo will spin, easily but not totally free, there will be slight drag on it a snappy hand spin will let the blades usually make 2 or 3 maybe 4 revolutions before comming to a stop, depending on how fresh the turbo is and its overall condition
