The Benefits of a Turbocharger for Your Truck

Off-road vehicles like your truck or Jeep need advanced technologies to match their performance needs. Compared to smaller vehicles, trucks need a boost for better performance, speed, and horsepower to perform heavier duties and navigate off-road terrains.

A turbocharger provides the needed oxygen boost for your truck’s engine. It works by compressing the air flow into the engine’s cylinders, increasing the airflow. Consequently, the air-fuel mix provides more horsepower which results in better engine performance and speed for your truck.

Like every component, your Powermax or Cummins turbocharger could develop some faults that may compromise its efficiency. These could be due to a lot of reasons, so you will need our professional mechanics to handle your turbocharger matters and restore it to top condition.

Common Causes of Turbocharger Failures in Trucks/Jeeps

Overall Wear & Tear: If you have had your turbocharger for some time, it could begin to show some concerning signs of damage. The longer you have had this eco-warrior installed, the longer it has been working to spool up power. Some of its parts will begin to wear out over time, causing a failure in the system and loss of that precious power you've grown to expect and love.
Overheating: Another reason why your truck's turbocharger could get damaged is due to excessive heat production from the engine's combustion activities. High heat puts a strain on the turbocharger, leading to increased wear and eventually, damage. TRB Motorsports can help keep your turbocharger cool with its required special oil and maintenance.
Accumulation of Contaminants: Dirt, debris, and other grime in your turbocharger can be the cause of its failure. The turbocharger needs unclogged airflow to function effectively. However, if contaminants block the air intake system, then the engine will be sad because the oomph it's come to know will be gone. Not only that, these contaminants could also damage parts of the turbocharger, like the turbine or compressor blades, leading to a total failure of the turbo.

What Causes Diesel Engine Performance Problems?

Lack of Maintenance: Poor maintenance can also be the reason for a failure in your truck's turbocharger. Maintenance actions like frequent inspections, cleaning, oil checks and changes, and air filter changes help to keep your turbo and its components in good shape. However, if you neglect to keep your turbocharger in excellent condition, it can lead to cruddy performance and a sooty blast from your tailpipe.
Poor Lubrication: Lubricating the turbocharger with its particular oil helps maintain its function. It prevents friction between the metal parts of the turbocharger, preventing overheating and total failure. Don't neglect it. You had it installed for a reason -- keep up the maintenance on your investment.
