ok guys i have a 99IH 4700 with the 7.3 in it here.the turbo blew up last night.whats the differences between the pickup and IH turbo?the pickup turbo should be a direct bolt on as far as i can tell.i have located a couple of pickup turbos for short money.found one for 150.00!!!! so i want to snatch that up if i can.the ih doesnt have the EBPV but has the wastegate.looks identical to the pickup turbos that i have seen.

thanx guys

Don't take this as the Gospel Rich, but from my exsperiences.. The Only difference between the IH 7.3 turbos, for commercailly rated trucks... and the Ford pick-ups turbos... Is the EBPV is/was required on the Ford 7.3's(EPA thing).

IRC.. back in the day, when the 7.3 was the only Ford dezel.. many were putting the Ford Van turbo's on.. if they could find one.. cuz it didn't have the EBPV.

For $150.00 bucks ? I'd Jump on it

i found one with 60,000 miles on it for 300 but the yard wanted a deposit before they would run the motor and make sure it was good.thats not happening.if its good ill pay it all up front.told the guy have a nice day and hung up on him.but i should be able to use our exhaust housing and stuff though if i had to,right?

I'm not sure about interchangable parts'n pieces.. but I would think they'd fit.

Give IH a call.. see what they say ??

If memory serves me right the IH trucks run a different exhaust manifold & up-pipe setup from the ford trucks.

well i went and got the 150 dollar turbo.its from a 99 ford.its all different even the center piece is different.the flange for the exhaust housing bolts is bigger on the IH turbo so i cant even bolt my exhaust housing to it.oh well was worth a try anyways.i can bring the turbo back and get the check back so its not like im loseing money on it or anything.
