A friend of mine has an 03 Cummins with 25,000 miles on it. He blew the turbo about 2 months ago and it has been at the shop ever since. They dealer claims he had a chip and that is why the turbo blew. I know for a fact that he did not have a chip.
They also claim that they need to replace the motor because the turbo would have released debris into the motor. They will not go further until he pays $2000 to remove the turbo
(they already removed it) They told him it will likely end up costing him over $15,000 since they will not cover it because they say a turbo will not blow without a chip. 
So now they are going to court over it and he will probably be 6 months or more without his truck. My question is, what are the chances that there is anything wrong with the motor? Will he be able to just change the turbo and carry on? He is still going to go to court over it but he would like his truck back and running the in the mean while. What would a turbo cost?
