Detailed Product Overview

The Dorman 667-249 turbocharger is built for drivers replacing a failed turbo on select Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, as well as export right-hand-drive Chevrolet and GMC Suburban models. It is engineered as a direct replacement for the original turbocharger on listed applications, helping restore boost delivery, throttle response, and overall drivability. This part cross-references Cardone New 2N-101 and Delphi TC1206 for the same application.

Use this turbocharger when the original unit shows signs of seal wear, bearing wear, or reduced boost output. The included wastegate actuator and gasket or seal support a cleaner replacement process, while the coolant-and-oil cooling design matches the needs of the original turbo system.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Low boost pressure on supported Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana models
• Oil leakage from worn turbo seals
• Excess shaft play from worn journal bearings
• Loss of power during acceleration
• Whining, rattling, or uneven turbo operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and export right-hand-drive configuration before installation. Inspect the turbo oil supply, coolant passages, intake tract, and exhaust connections for contamination or damage before fitting the replacement unit. Follow the manufacturer service procedure for priming the turbocharger and checking for leaks after startup. Mounting hardware and mounting bracket are not included.

Quality Assurance
