I dragged an '04 King Ranch 6.0 this past Wednesday. Boy did his turbo sound sweet. Is there a ball bearing turbo available for the Dmax? Nick

Nothing "available" but Kyle03D has shown it possible to install most of the common turbos out there on our engine now. By available I assume you are looking for a "kit" which doesn't exist, yet. Also, I don't believe the 6.0 has a ball bearing turbo but rather a variable vane turbo, or did they change something?

6.0 have VVT


Now I've installed BB on some 7.3s and some Cummins, but not on the DMAX

Oh no, it was indeed a ball bearing turbo. He had it swapped about a month earlier. I want onehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

I didn't realize just how modded the truck was. Sorry.


I assumed it had a stock turbo, my bad.
