Turbocharger Replacement LLY, LBZ

Notice: If a turbocharger has failed, clean any turbocharger debris or excessive oil from the charge air cooler system before installing the new turbocharger. Failure to clean debris from the charge air cooler system will cause severe turbocharger and engine damage upon startup. Failure to clean excessive oil from the charge air cooler system may cause an engine runaway condition on startup, resulting in severe engine damage.

Important: If a turbocharger failure is thought to be caused due to a lack of oil, the camshaft bearing should be checked. The number 4 camshaft bearing bore feeds the turbocharger oil supply (feed) pipe. If this camshaft bearing spins in the bore, the turbocharger will be starved for oil. This will cause a failure of the turbocharger. Failure to diagnosis this condition will result in repeat turbocharger failures.
