Reed44 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 One of my dads trucks need the turbo rebuilt. It's a 95 Chevy 3500 6.5 TD. Where can I take the turbo to have it rebuilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed44 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Thanks. How much do rebuilds usually run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) $600 ish I was lucky to qualify under the Garrett rebuild program,they basically replaced everything except the polished housing. Whats wrong with yours? Edited January 1, 2012 by carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed44 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 It won't boost up anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 It won't boost up anymore. Are you sure it's the Turbo? If so, How? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) It won't boost up anymore. Get a visual see if its spins freely look for anything that could have been sucked in from the motor/outside. Dumb as it sounds I have blown more vacuum lines and hoses than turbos so check for those too. How old is the truck and how many miles on the motor.

DOZZER Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 It won't boost up anymore. Those trucks did not build much boost. Being a 6.5 check out the injection pump. They cause a lot of problems on those motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed44 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's got 209k on it and I don't hear it spoiling and its leaking oil. I don't know much about diesels but it just seems like it falls on its face when you get on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
