Truck turbocharger replacement
A turbocharger gives a truck’s engine its power, so if the turbo starts smoking, whistling, sticking, or no longer drawing air properly, you should consult specialists about replacing it. Although some drivers think this is a fairly simple job, it’s best left to qualified professionals.
Because a turbo operates under heavy loads (it can spin at up to 100,000 rpm!), it’s essential to ensure it’s working correctly. The first and simplest way to do that is to change the engine oil on time and make sure it’s free of contaminants. Specialists also recommend replacing air filters regularly. These two simple tips, often forgotten, can help you avoid a turbo replacement.
In late autumn and winter, when temperatures often drop below zero, let the truck’s engine idle for a short while right after start-up. During this time the oil warms up and gradually heats the turbo. This helps prevent sudden temperature spikes and protects the turbocharger.
Of course, it’s not always easy to follow every recommendation. What should you do when you need an urgent truck turbo replacement at a good price? You know the answer – contact the TRELO professionals.
What determines the replacement cost?
We hear this question all the time, but to quote an exact price we need more than just the truck’s make, model, and year – we also have to determine exactly what happened to the turbo.
Quite often, repairing the turbocharger alone isn’t enough; it’s essential to find the root cause of the failure. Everything depends on the specific case, which our specialists can assess and discuss with each customer at TRELO repair centres.
