Product Details

Cardone Turbocharger Cartridge 2N-1027CHR is part of the Turbocharger Cartridge line, focused on repairing the internal core of a failed turbo rather than replacing the full unit. This approach can reduce repair time when the damage is isolated to the cartridge. For Chevrolet C2500, K2500, Tahoe, and GMC K2500 applications, the cartridge provides a practical service solution while retaining the original housings where appropriate.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Loss of turbo boost pressure
• Excessive shaft wear in the turbo core
• Oil-related turbocharger failure
• Noise or rough operation from a worn cartridge
• Need to service the turbo without replacing the full assembly

Installation Notes

Follow factory service procedures, inspect the oil supply and return system, and confirm the original compressor and turbine housings are serviceable before installation.
