Message: [QUOTE="Zbugsii, post: 981815, member: 15403"] I have a 2004 F350 with 100k miles, new to me about a year ago. Previous owner let it sit for long periods, frequently. While having ARP studs installed, the turbo was gone over and found to have a very pitted unison ring from rust and sticking problems. After bead blasting... things are better, but because it is pitted I do not expect good things going forward. Also, as much as I try to keep the truck used.... lately I am traveling more than expected and my truck can sit for 2-4 weeks at a time before I can give it a good run. I think I can already feel some sticking in the turbo.... so, I believe I heard there are some turbos out there with SS unison rings, which I would think should be a good solution to my possible ongoing problem. Does anybody have any good knowledge on such turbos? How are the SS unison rings holding up to the heat? Recommendations on a turbo for "stock" motor? Used for 15k towing and general street use. Any info and practical knowledge welcome... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
