Only other thing i can figure on the low price is there is No Warranty at all....

My truck is a 2011 pet getting kind of old...older the truck cheaper the parts maybe?? I dont know , just guessing.... nothing special 450isx15. 516.000 miles....did my turbo inspection thanks to Rawze and decided to go ahead a get one.
As soon as it arrives hopefully undamaged I will install and share more information...

Maybe it will work out.....

I know there is alot of discussion on our parts really New ??? Or are they referbed? Remaned? You have OE and New parts, and the new parts at times get changed with minor peaks and improvements...
Ill take some photos etc...

I feel like over paying on some things is nothing more than a peace of mind.

I have a question? When you buy a battery, do you think it is a New battery? Or is it a reman?
My wife is ro blame for my new and improved great value attitude lol....

I see some serious problems with all this...

1) The wife is "shopping dangerously and risking your buisness" and you aren't going to get a certified cummins/holset re-man turbo complete with actuator and all for that low of a price! -- not even close to that price!.

2) who is going to buy you a new engine if that so-called "super-duper deal" of a turbo pops the turbine out of its face (god forbid that never happens) and your engine goes into runaway and melts down?!. -- You guys have $36,000 just laying around so that you can safely take those kind of risks? -- Just saying



-- I see paople take bad buisness risks every day --- Sometimes they get away with it --- Sometimes they pay,.. and for those who pay -- They can't say that "I DID NOT AT LEAST WARN THEM! -- GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND GET A CERTIFIED REMAN WITH A WARRANTY IF YOUR NOT WILLING TO TAKE A SERIOUS RISK!!!!".


I HAVE WITNESSED WITH MY OWN EYES IN COLARADO ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONCE WITH SOMEONE THAT GOT A "GOOD DEAL" ON A TURBO!.

Keep this video in mind while your installing it eh??? - A face seal came loose in a re-man turbo.



Sadly, that engine is now a boat anchor when it finally runs out of engine oil and stops.

I don't know about anyone else, but I do not run my business on "good deals". I run it on reliability, and last I checked, it takes a LOT OF RELIABILITY to make a profit out here on the roads these days. To take a risk with your turbocharger is to take a risk WITH YOUR ENGINE!
