Dont bash me too bad for asking this, But why are the turbos for our trucks soo much money. At work we just had one go out on a TD15 dozer with a DT466 in it. New garret not rebuilt from a local supplier for it "without" core was $400. Will look on the plate tomorrow and get the exact numbers off it. Seems to me like we're having the wool pulled over our eyes somewhere paying upwards of $1200. Or am I comparing apples to oranges.

 

Im with you... Why do some turbo's for us cost 2k dollars and more when a rig turbo which will be bigger than most singles we are gonna run still only costs $600 or so for a new one? I know these turbo's are all modified, and all that stuff, but im not sold on why they are so darn high.

Well when I put a turbo on a truck it usually costs about 1200 for the turbo, that is on a DDEC V series 60. Cummins are all about the same, but you know I get cost on everything, lol. I would imagine that a turbo for a DT466 has less
