Banks Turbo....

[dakotajeep]

I am looking at a Banks turbo that was run for about 5,000 miles down in Florida. My questions are as follows:

1. Banks only lists these turbos till 93 and mine is a 94 NA will it fit? Does it matter what bodystyle the pickup is...mine is long bed CC.....(yes its an IDI, in my sig)

2. Are there any parts that are prone to breaking that I should inspect before buying? Besides the tirbine/bearing itself....

3. My pickup has 175,000 miles on it right now. Should I be concerned?

4. From what I have read so far it seems the biggest concern is the body seam that needs to be bent. Are there any other hickups that I should know about?

5. I have never messed with a turbo before. Is this going to be an 'easy' or difficult install?

Those are what I can think of off hand....any other heads up stuff is welcomed...

Thanks
Thad

It will fit your truck. I think your engine should be fine, a lot of people have put turbos on their NA trucks without problems. Why would someone run a turbo for 5000 miles and then remove it?

The vehicle it was on was rearended......and the rest of the truck was parted out....
