My buddy has this mid 80’s Dozer that needs a turbo rebuild in the worst way. its a Dresser TD-8E with an AI Research t-04 turbo. I was thinking the Cat dealership in Batavia might know (since thats where the dozer is), but I figured I would ask the all knowning nyspeed… ---

Do you know what engine is in the dozer? Chances are that a rebuild kit is not available, you’ll need to buy a reman turbo. In that case, it’s a fairly simple swap. What is it doing that you think it needs a turbo rebuild? ---

Lol. It’s gushing oil and it has A LOT of shaft play. Is the model not conducive of the engine? ---

I’d say it needs a rebuild lol. The engine is likely an International DT239. A complete reman t04 turbo is about $700 give or take a bit depending on the specific model plus shipping and core. Get all the info off the tag on the turbo and I’ll be able to get a closer price. You’ll also need a couple gaskets, maybe some hoses and clamps. I might be able to do it depending on when it needs to get done. ---

I’m not finding a rebuild kit, only reman turbos. If he has it off already, tell him to just buy a reman turbo and be done with it. It’ll probably be cheaper anyway. If he took the old one off, I’m sure he can handle putting the new one on. ---
