Turbo

Looks like a good buy and reviews looks good also. Will have dealer do the head studs and gaskets also have bulletproof EGR Cooler and Oil Cooler and remote Filter to be installed. Head Gaskets went when unison ring in turbo started to bind up and had too high boost pressure. After market service contract refusing to pay for anything even tho was a problem with unison ring. Thanks for the info on Turbo...

I love my Powermax turbo.
You will need an SCT and tunes to wake it up though.
My truck is a 12k DD and tows a 10k dump trailer and it works great.
