I was adjusting my fipl today and wanted to check the shaft play on the cold side of the turbo. It has no horizontal shaft play but has about .040 of vertical shaft play. It gets tight to spin if you put any pressure up or down on the shaft itself. I think the bearings are bad in it. I just put a new built tranny in it so I dont want to spend alot of money. Should I get a rebuild kit and if so where should I purchase it from? Or should I buy a used turbo and hope the seller is honest and the bearings are good in it? I use this truck everyday for business so Im in need of a solution....thanks everyone.
