MACKTRUCKS4 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Looks like it's time to replace my turbo on my V-8 Superliner. I have the pump turned up and now I want to put a bigger turbo on it. Does anyone know what to put on it as far as size, make , and where to get it? I run the truck every day so I don't want to get too carried away, something that will live on the street. Maybe one step up from stock. Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

HOW DID YOU MAKE OUT WITH YOUR CAM REPLACEMENT.GG2 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks for all the tips.GreenGiant2- I got the cam reground, resurfaced 11 lifters and bought 1 new. I put everything back together a few weeks ago, what a messy job. I think if I do it again, I will roll the truck on it's side so I can work on it from the sides instead of going under the dripping motor. LOL Total cost was around $600.00 for everything. Better than $2,100.00 just for a new cam and lifters!!!!!!!!!! Trucks runs good. Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.
