Joey Mack Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 ok... I was told much less than 45 years ago that it can hurt the turbo.... thank you for clearing it up for me.... I have been laughed at a few times about this, guess I don't know what I think I know... 👍 jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’ve always heard same thing & I would call myself a mechanic back years ago! I always forget to do it but not hauling far. If it has a muffler on it, I don’t see it being as much problem if it were straight piped. I do understand the reasoning. I do cover when I think about, but I forget a LOT nowadays & always in hurry. Always been lucky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm Concerned, Its nothing but an Urban Myth.. When hauling machinery/Equipment, I always ask the Customer if they would like the exhaust covered or Not. (purely as Professional courtesy) I can Honestly say that I don't know of a Turbo Failure caused by this.. 1 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 We had a prototype Gehl skid loader back in the day. Every so many hours, Gehl engineers would come get it and the local dealer would bring us out a loaner. The first time they came to get it I asked them about covering the exhaust and the gehl rep laughed at me. Well, when they brought it back out to our farm it smoked like a steam engine. Ended up being the turbo. They always covered exhaust pipe after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehummell Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Kein trucking brought in the new caterpillar equipment and every one had the exhaust taped shut but I can't recall any of the local company's doing anything to the exhaust. I hauled some equipment and never thought about taping the exhaust closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well Im calling bullshit to the covered exhaust or covered intake For that turbo to spin it needs air flow, for that to happen you need both intake and exhaust valves to be open on at least one cylinder at the same time or missing parts in the motor I have heard the myth and like some many things people have a mate of a mate that swears by it but never actually had it happen So to me it definitely has no common sense theory behind it Oh and thats not a good look for a Mack modern or old Paul 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licensed to kill Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I haul my sprayer very day in the summer. I probably has about 100,000KM on the trailer. Exhaust faces forward, never cover the exhaust, never had a turbo issue. I have the same view regarding this as mrsmackpaul. While there IS a time when the intake and exhaust valves overlap (open at the same time), the over lap is small, with each valse open maybe .020 to .030. That does NOT allow for a lot of air flow. If the turbo was to turn, it would barely turn. It certainly could not spin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
