Headed to the Smokey Mountains in the morning. Pulling the Nucamp 400. Back of Jeep is loaded pretty good.
Hopefully no codes are turbo failure.
Wish us luck.
My wife starts chemo in 3 weeks. Will be our last trip for a while

Best of luck with your wife. Hope everything goes well. My first wifey went through 3.5 yrs of chemo. You have to be a cheerleader for your wife.

Thanks guys
We made 500 miles today. First hard grade, the jeep throwed a code. Let it rest for may5 minutes. Started it up and no problem since. That 400 miles in grades and didn’t throw another code.
Do you know what code?

And best wishes for your wife.

Chances are you threw the first code because the actuator was heat soaked from higher speed highway driving getting to the smokies, and once you were in the mountains you were traveling slower with alternating speeds so everything was staying cooler.

According to the diesel tech I talked to, theres been no solid diagnosis as to whats happening when the actuator gets hot outside of voltage readings getting off a little and the PCM detects the wastegate isn't where it expects it to be. It could be just voltage fluctuations from hot wiring, it could be the worm gears getting soft, it could be expansion/contraction of the housing or actuator arms. This leads me to believe that theres no real risk to the turbo itself, and probably minimal risk to anything else when it happens. Only real risk I see is if the actuator itself goes out, which I haven't heard of happening.
