They are kenworths. One just blew the turbo up a few months ago so we bought a brand new one ($1000) and now were selling that truck.... so we thhought why not put the brand new turbo on a truck were keeping. Well I take off the intake tube and the new turbos alll chewed up inside. Looks like somone left a nut or bolt inside it when they put it back together. $1000 down the drain........... ill get a picture later.
