Have an 07 CDT that's showing about 210K miles. Being I like to be proactive in keeping the maintenance up when should I expect to see the Turbo give up the ghost? Given there's some fuel dilution on the 07s Ive stayed up on a strict oil change interval. With the AMS oil I'm hoping to get as much as I can before having to change out the turbo. Then there's the injectors.

I assume you have a 5.9 rather than a 6.7? There are many trucks on the road with 3 to 400k or more on them still sporting factory installed turbos. They will last a long time at factory boost levels with good maintenance and driving habits. I would be saving up for injectors before I would worry about the turbo taking a dump. My $.02.

Yeah, I have a fund set aside to purchase new injectors.

The cost of injectors wouldn't come close to paying for one semester of college
