Hello all, I haven't been on the forum in a while (I haven't had a reason to since my focus has been my 1989 D250 12 Valve as of late).
However, yesterday I found out the stock turbo on my 2018 2500 has died on me.
I'm only at 56K miles, so I was surprised by the turbo deciding to quit, but now I have no choice but to be in the market for a replacement.
I do not want to go back to the stock turbo or a VGT, so I wonder if anyone has any input on the best fixed-vane turbo for this truck?
I do mostly highway driving and tow every now again.
When I'm towing, it's usually a 20' flat deck trailer with another vehicle on the trailer, so I'm looking for a turbo with good street manners and towing ability.
I am not going for big power numbers.
I'm running a complete diet on the engine, Banks intercooler piping, Monster horn and grid heater delete, stock injectors, and a FASS pump with a Beans sump draw for the fuel tank.
I've also already reached out to Ray (DRD) to ask what I'll be looking at for new tunes.
So, to summarize, I want a fixed vane turbo, and I'm willing to swap the exhaust manifold if needed.
What are my best options?
Thanks!
