FINALLY! THE CURE FOR PROBLEMATIC HEAT RELATED TURBOCHARGER FAILURES! DIESEL TURBO LIFESAVER COOLS YOUR TURBO DOWN - AUTOMATICALLY! NO MORE WASTED TIME, NO MORE FRIED TURBOS! THE MUST HAVE ACCESSORY FOR ANY TURBOCHARGED DIESEL VEHICLE!
The turbo is the heart and soul of your diesel truck. Failure to properly care for your turbo can cause it to fail prematurely and can even lead to TOTAL ENGINE MELTDOWN. Diesel Turbo Lifesaver (DTLS) is the cure for problematic heat related turbocharger failures. DTLS automatically idles your engine and then shuts it off, all without needing the ignition key, thus saving the time and aggravation of waiting for the turbo to
cool.
Automatically cools your turbo: Eliminates the time wasting hassle of cooling your turbo. Set Diesel Turbo Lifesaver, remove your ignition key, and lock your truck. Your engine will idle and then automatically shut off!
- Engine Pre-lube Feature: Eliminates dry starts after oil changes or periods of inactivity. *Most Vehicles*
- Anti-Theft Feature: When anti-theft is on truck cannot be started . . .even if the thief has the key!
- Warranty Friendly and Easy Installation: Ford* and Dodge pickup models feature plug in installation with no wire cutting. No cut wires*(most cases) = NO WARRANTY PROBLEMS!
- Ford 2005 Trucks are not Plug and Play. They require minor splicing.
- 3 Year Warranty.

PYROMETER AND GAUGE ERROR AND HOW EFFECTIVE ARE DEVICES THAT MONITOR A GAUGE TO COOL A TURBO?
QUESTIONS: HOW ACCURATE IS AN EGT GAUGE? Can monitoring this gauge allow a device to automatically run my engine until my turbo is properly cooled?
ANSWER: Diesel Turbo Lifesaver works by timing out how long you engine runs to cool the turbo. Remember, time is time and it never varies. In contrast, the assumption that gauge / thermocouple systems are very accurate is totally incorrect. Please read the QUOTE from the manufacturer's installation instructions of a popular gauge, the Westach 2DC2-30SS:
QUOTE: "! IMPORTANT ! This system is factory calibrated at 75 deg. F. The indicator measures the temperature difference between the hot end (PROBE) and the pin terminals on the other end of the thermocouple (COLD JUNCTION).
For COLD JUNCTION temperature of 75 deg. the indicator will read the true temperature of the PROBE end of the thermocouple.
For COLD JUNCTION temperatures HIGHER than 75 deg. the indicator will read one deg. LOW for each deg. above 75 deg.
For COLD JUNCTION temperatures LOWER than 75 deg. the indicator will read one degree HIGH for each deg. below 75 deg.
This thermocouple "error" is a normal characteristic of self powered thermocouple systems. If possible, locate the thermocouple COLD JUNCTION connection to patch cable away from heat (or extreme cold) to minimize thermal "error".
When the COLD JUNCTION is 100 deg. and the system is calibrated at 75 deg. that means the COLD JUNCTION is 25 deg. high and the indicator will read 25 deg. low." END QUOTE
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU:
In examining the 3rd and 6th paragraphs of the quote, one can readily see the following scenario happening:
Underhood temperatures can easily reach 225 deg. F. or more when the vehicle is working. For this examination, we will use 225 deg. as the underhood temperature. Thermocouple's COLD JUNCTION is 150 deg. higher than calibration temperature of 75 deg. Therefore gauge reading is 150 deg LOW! Safe turbo shut off temperature is between 250 and 300 deg. F. The vehicle has a device installed in it that monitors the gauge and is set to shut off at 275 deg. Engine shuts off. Is the turbo safe? NO WAY! The "error" in the pyrometer has allowed the engine to shut off when the turbo is at 425 degrees!
Why buy such a system to cool your turbo when it shuts it off hot? All it is giving you is a FALSE sense of security. There is absolutely NO WAY you can compensate for this thermal "error" because the error is NEVER constant! To make matters worse, the gauge reads both HIGH or LOW depending on if you are colder or hotter than calibration temperature! It does not matter if you have a digital or analog (needle type) gauge, it is clear from the above quote that gauge is only giving you an approximate reading of temperature. Therefore, ANY device that attempts to monitor the temperature of the turbo to determine engine shut off time is ineffective by design. That is why Diesel Turbo Lifesaver is a timing device rather than a thermocouple monitoringdevice. It allows you to set enough time, regardless of conditions to properly cool your turbo.
