Dear list, Peter & Judy who are traveling across North/South America with their LT40 camper have run into turbo problems. They are in need of a good re-builder or source for a turbo. The unit was never installed on any vehicles in North America that I am aware of and may be impossible to find. I understand a good re-builder should be able to do it, possibly with some custom work to allow for non original parts as not available here. They already stopped at one rebuilder who was not able to do it since there was no off the shelf rebuild kit available. They just left Casper, WY and are headed towards Yellowstone park. I believe there is some damage to the fins, so it won't be a standard rebuild. Here are the #'s off the turbo: Garrett X10431F 075145703A 454023-2 T25
Here is a link to their blog: If anyone knows of a place in the area that could help it would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know and I can forward the information, Jason Ewing |
