Product Details

Cardone Turbocharger Cartridge 2N-1020CHR is intended for turbocharger repairs where the damage is isolated to the cartridge section. By replacing the core components instead of the full turbocharger, this part supports a more focused repair on Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 diesel applications. The cartridge uses a journal bearing setup and oil cooling, matching the needs of the turbo system while preserving the original housings when they remain serviceable.

This part cross-references no listed alternate part numbers for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Turbocharger core wear or internal cartridge damage
• Loss of boost caused by worn bearing components
• Oil-cooled turbocharger service needs
• Repair situations where the compressor and turbine housings can be reused
• Full turbocharger replacement when only the cartridge has failed

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the compressor and turbine housings before installation to confirm they can be reused. Clean the turbo oil supply and return passages, and verify the engine oil condition before placing the vehicle back in service. Because this is a cartridge replacement, proper inspection of the surrounding turbocharger components is important for a reliable repair on Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 diesel trucks.
