BuyAutoParts Remanufactured Turbocharger

This turbo (40-30106 AE) is a stock replacement that's going to fit and perform exactly the same as OEM, and is backed by the same one year, unlimited mileage warranty. If your truck is modified to the point where the stock turbo is blowing up, you should probably have it tuned professionally to keep it semi-reliable. We also have an upgraded version of this turbo with a billet compressor wheel and actuator available here:

This turbo (Stigan 847-1432, SKU 40-30106) only fits late 2004 or 2004.5 through 2009 models with the 5.9L "High Output" diesel. 2003 and early 2004 models like yours use a vacuum actuator, not an electronic actuator. If your truck has an electronic actuator, then you have a late 2004, not an early 2004. We have the correct replacement turbo (with vacuum actuator included) for 2003 and early 2004 models available here:
