Turbo whine on an older diesel has me debating repair timing

Honestly, last week I worked on a diesel pickup with a loud turbo noise. Tbh, one mechanic friend says to just keep an eye on it, but another argues it needs fixing right away. Ngl, I've seen turbos hold up for ages and others fail fast. Where do you stand on letting turbo noise slide versus immediate action?

My block's babysitting swap is saving families serious money

I had an aha moment about spoke tension when my bike started wobbling last week.

Warning: Don't leave food wrappers in the service van overnight.

Honestly "cost over two grand" for a wiring harness sounds high to me. Those parts can be found used or from a lower cost supplier, and the labor shouldn't be that crazy unless it's a really packed dash. I'm a bit skeptical it's always that serious.
