Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1040500 GM-8 Turbocharger is a brand new, direct replacement turbo designed for 1996–2000 Chevy/GMC 6.5L diesel pickup trucks equipped with the factory GM-8 / GM-5 turbo. If your truck is experiencing excessive smoke, low boost, slow spool-up, or worn bearing noise, this OEM-style replacement restores factory boost response and drivability with a new—not remanufactured—turbocharger assembly.
This turbocharger includes the actuator and gaskets for a complete install and is built to deliver dependable boost and long service life under towing, heavy load, and daily driving conditions. There is no core charge. Always verify the turbo identification on your vehicle before ordering to ensure proper match.
