I was coming home from az. Ive been away from home for 6 weeks. My lp turbo lost the brg. I'm hundreds of miles away from home. Ive had terrible luck. I called Elite and they have been bending over backwards to help me. Much like the news all you hear is the bad so I wanted to post some good. Since I broke down in a area that doesn't get Saturday delivery. They figured out something else for me. Great great people. Now its up to me to get the parts on. Pulling turbos cab on. Thanks Elite Diesel!
Trucks down again!

Glad your getting taken care of bud. Too bad this happened
Is what it is. In all my frustration the 70 year old tow truck driver (also owner, smart man) turn to me and says. "Your alive aren't you?" I said yeah. He said quit bitchin. That was funny.

How bad was it and what turbos were in there
It wasn't to bad once you get the carp out of your way. It was the tow x set up.

Today will and I tackled similar problems... His being a good bit more work, but the swap of the lp turbo blows. Well done will. It took beef nachos and I about 6 hours to do it. Worst part was the drain and swapping from water to air cooled and change in oil feed that wasn't expected.

glad everything worked out man...sorry i wasnt any assistance.
Not a problem. Thank to Mike, Shane, Elite, and most of all Baca towing in Socorro. With out his shop and his grinder it would not have been possible. Cleaning the intercooler and piping was also quite a challenge for the job. Shane cab on! Your nuts! But you have to do with what you got. The real test comes tomorrow. 14 hours to my destination for work on Monday. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Good job Will, great to hear you have it up and running and congrats to your ability to do it cab on and in an unfamiliar shop. Hope it all goes well on your trip home. Damn! How did that glove get stuck in there? LOL

You owned it Will. Glad I could help you out, wish I was there I would've done the swap for you for sure. Anyways, keep in touch and don't work to hard. Peace
