Reply To: 6BTA Spool Up Issue

Bought the boat in spring 2008. Third owner. Turbos are still what was on it when purchased. Tried getting service history report from Cummins first year I owned it and all they could tell me was that one injector was supposedly replaced the first year under warranty (don’t recall which engine) and nothing else on record for the Ser #s.

No real issues since purchase other than normal maintenance. Replaced throttle lever on both engines in 2009 due to one having excessive wear. Replaced starter and alternator on port engine about 4 years ago. Starter failed and alternator was operating with inconsistent voltage. Upgraded to Tony’s water pumps in spring of 2016.

Turbo must have been replaced prior to my purchase. I had always been an outboard guy and was new to diesels at the time. Had a good surveyor but he never mentioned it.

I attached the engine photos from the pre-purchase survey in 2008, so I guess you are telling me both were replacements?
thanks
