rietveld5 08-26-2009, 11:24 AM THe little arm that is attached to the turbo that you attach the actuator rod into spins freely and spins a full 360 degrees. This does not seem right and I am guessing it is what is wrong with my turbo. Any ideas on how to fix this? Davediesel3 08-26-2009, 11:47 AM Sounds like the waste gate is loose or gone . You won't get any turbo pressure and it probably smokes (black) pretty bad upon acceleration. Probably need to rebuild or replace the turbo. Look in the market section I am sure some one here has one for sale. matuva 08-26-2009, 03:14 PM some have tried to fit an HX35, I'm very happy with my *** :D rietveld5 08-26-2009, 04:49 PM some have tried to fit an HX35, I'm very happy with my *** :D Is it hard to fix? I am pretty broke right now and would prefer to get it working without spending money. Still probably will buy one when I get some extra cash and can afford one.... DieselPro 08-26-2009, 06:51 PM Turbo will have to come off. Also the piece that broke off is in your exhaust. If the center section is still good you might have a member here willing to give you an old wiped out turbo so you can salvage the exhaust side. Better to buy a good complete turbo off one our extinguished members here. :beerchug: 96GMC6.5L 08-26-2009, 07:23 PM Better to buy a good complete turbo off one our extinguished members here. :beerchug: Now there is an idea ;). rietveld5 08-29-2009, 05:06 PM any ideas on how long it will take to take off my old turbo and buy a new one on? I am trying to figure out when I will be able to come home from college and swipe out my old for a new. This happened at about the worst time it could.... 96GMC6.5L 08-29-2009, 05:12 PM Periodically spray the studs/nuts with PB blaster as far ahead of time as you can. When I changed my injectors, I had the turbo off in probably a couple hours max and probably about the same to get the other one back on. So, depending on how it goes for you, you are probably looking at half a day to a days worth of work. I used extensions with a universal from the bottom with the tire off to get at mine. rietveld5 08-29-2009, 05:24 PM Periodically spray the studs/nuts with PB blaster as far ahead of time as you can.

Thanks for the info IamDave0887 08-29-2009, 08:42 PM my turbo came right off when i changed my injectors and glows this time last year. That's with 150k+ in the oversalted new england winters as well. You can you PB blaster on them if they are being stubborn. What you go with for a turbo is up to you. Some have done modifications to fit an HX-35 or WH1C off a Cummins, some have the Specially Designed ***, and others have the stock turbo(gm-x). 96GMC6.5L 08-29-2009, 10:53 PM did you have finders and wheel wells off or on?
