      They are being taught that there is no limit to gender identification. Not even joking.
      My sister's daughter has a kid in her class that moved from California and identifies as a fruit-loop dog/cat dragon.

    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.

    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.

    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 😃

    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!!

    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
      @thoroughbreddiesel  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      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.

    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!!!

    • @thoroughbreddiesel
      @thoroughbreddiesel  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is odd. I would suggest loosening the drivers side as well.

    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

    You talk about the coolant banjo bolt reinstall being the qorst part. Woulent it make it easier to run that down after placing the turbo in the bay but before attaching? Or does thqt create clearance issues when bolting it up?

    • @thoroughbreddiesel
      @thoroughbreddiesel  หลายเดือนก่อน

      You nailed it, and I really wish that you could do it that way. The damn coolant line is only so long and its length and position really only lends itself to being installed once the turbo is at its final resting place, if that makes sense. Chasing the line to hook up at the other end is worse in my opinion.

      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).

  • @skidoopwns
    @skidoopwns 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @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
      @thoroughbreddiesel  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    • @thoroughbreddiesel

      Lifting the engine is a must unless you jack up the motor from underneath. You will need to do this so the turbo clears the studs when it comes out.

      The only way to do it without pulling the manifold and the turbo is to lift the motor. If you take the manifold out and want to deal with the 12 gaskets that are behind it also, you don't have to lift the motor.

    I just had my mechanic install a fleece cheetah on my 2017 cummins 2500.
    I feel like I have some pretty good turbo lag till about 2000RPM. Then the truck shoots off like a rocket.
    Any chance you guys have some real world numbers for what boost should be? I feel like I can no longer maintain 70mph pulling my utility trailer in 6th gear as the rpms are too low and don't build much boost. Stock turbo always had power when requested. Thanks!

    • @thoroughbreddiesel
      @thoroughbreddiesel  2 หลายเดือนก่อน
