Subject:Turbo Specialist/Rebuilder needed for LT40
From:Jason
Date:Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:13:17 -0400

Dear list,

Peter & Judy who are traveling across North/South America with their LT40
camper have run into turbo problems.  They are in need of a good re-builder
or source for a turbo.   The unit was never installed on any vehicles in
North America that I am aware of and may be impossible to find.   I
understand a good re-builder should be able to do it, possibly with some
custom work to allow for non original parts as not available here.  They
already stopped at one rebuilder who was not able to do it since there was
no off the shelf rebuild kit available.  They just left Casper, WY and are
headed towards Yellowstone park.   I believe there is some damage to the
fins, so it won't be a standard rebuild.   Here are the #'s off the turbo:

Here is a link to their blog:

If anyone knows of a place in the area that could help it would be greatly
appreciated.   Please let me know and I can forward the information,

Jason Ewing
