So I was just curious if anyone else here has rebuilt their own turbo? I realize they should be balanced and tested but I’m just curious if anyone has done it at hole and ran the truck for years after?
I had a 6.0 that had a leaking oil seal and I pulled it apart and replaced everything that came in the Garrett kit. I then plowed for 4 months with that truck and it ran just fine and then I sold it. As far as I know it all held up just fine.
So anyone else here dig in to one? Or does everyone send it to Russ repair? I think the rebuild kit cost me around $120 and it was done in an evening. That’s a big savings and the fun knowing I did it my self.
