Wish this video was up a few days ago. Just replaced my turbo on 2016 RAM 3500 with a tow master from Thoroughbred Diesel. Had to fumble my way through it. Got it done but I will say the fleece cheetah drain tube is an absolute must have.

Good job Wade, have all new respect for you. Everything you said is true Put performance exaust manifold on my 2018 Ram 3500, much easier with emissions removed.

Wade is correct. This Fleece Cheetah is what I went with with new tuning. It will awaken when I put it to the floor.

Great video!!! watched it a few times and just finished swapping mine out. I saved a little time by not removing the NOX sensor, just undo the 2 clamps and take the elbow out the side and set it on the suspension. the only other thing I did different was the bottom cooler line, if you massage the heatshild a little, you can get a 7/8" socket on it to undo it. all in all, one of the best if not the best video for this swap!! thank you!!

Just finished getting mine out. Watched this video step by step and followed to a T except that I did remove the battery tray and therefor didn't have to disconnect the alternator. I also opted to remove the coolant line from the block instead of dealing with the tight area under the turbo near the oil drain tube. Can't thank you guys enough for this video! New fleece goes in tomorrow morning 😃

Did you throw injectors in your truck or are you running stock injectors?

Re:Nox sensor. Thanks for the video. It is very helpful. The thing is, I sat down for a minute and realized there was no need to remove the nox sensor as i have 410km on my truck, so it's tight. Just take the whole elbow out with the sensor/cable and move it off to the side. There is enough cable once you cut the zip ties that it can sit on top of the steering linkage.

I would not call that a 8 out of 10 job. 8 would be like a cylinder head. 10 would be a motor disassemble.

Can you show how to install it in the 5.9 Cummins

I feel like those manifold stud holes are to tight on all of my imports that have had that issues I take a drill and clean the holes up to get rid of the resistance, also yes I own a 2013 cummins so what I wonder would there be an issues with doing the same on the manifold of the truck seems like it would make siding the turbo back on and off much easier

So I put this turbo on my 2018 ram. Everything went smooth, Turbo works great. I installed the fleece drain tube with no added gasket at first( looked like it’s what you did in the video). About 5k miles it started leaking oil. Yesterday I took it off cleaned everything up and added a gasket with a fine line of RTV( used high temp red) … still leaking. I’m going to attack it again this weekend. Any advice as to why it could be leaking? Was going to try a new gasket with oil resistant RTV.

@thoroughbreddiesel

9 ай бұрын

Same thing happened to us. The drain tube does not require another gasket, as there is a recessed o ring in the flange. The first kit we had the bolts in it were too long to make a good seal, you might want to check bolt length. If you need help on this just give us a call.

@thoroughbreddiesel did you do anything special for first startup with the new turbo? Some recommend unplugging the injector harness and turning the engine over multiple times for 10 second intervals to get oil pressure at the turbo before first startup. Then plug injector harness back in and start the truck. What do you typically recommend?

@thoroughbreddiesel

5 ай бұрын

We recommend pre oiling the turbo, we also recommend an oil change when changing a turbo. And for that, we change the oil right before changing the turbo, so that the truck doesn’t have extended times without lube.

Good evening sir. First, thanks for an incredibly useful video. I'm at the point of lifting the engine up 1" on the passenger side to clear the turbo studs and found that the engine does not pivot upward. Engine mount bolt has at least 1/8" of clearance on each end. What are the possible causes? Thanks in advance for your reply!!!

Truck setup will determine the HP capabilities of the Cheetah. This one, for the 13-18 Dodges will support up to 700 HP (with the right modifications).

Have a stock 16 ram 3500 if I upgrade to this turbo do I need to reprogram, tune, flash anything? Have a actuator code and figured I'd up garage the whole thing not much more to do so

@thoroughbreddiesel

No reprogram necessary with this turbo and that’s the one of its best features. But the truck runs so much better with tuning that really takes advantage of the performance turbo.

Been trying for an hour to get the bolts in on the bottom of the turbo to the fleece oil drain tube. Only way I can see to line up the bolts is under the truck with an extension. If I remove the passenger front tire will I be able to access it?
