This is the Garrett 901994-5001S, a new GT17V variable-geometry turbocharger, not a rebuild. It is the stock replacement for the 2016 to 2018 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon with the 2.8L four-cylinder Duramax diesel. The electronic actuator is fitted to the turbo. It replaces GM 55486935, 55486936, 55506039, 55506040, 55510314, 55598230 and 12641882 and Garrett 814068-5005S.
Low boost, a boost or actuator code, a whine that was not there before, or oil in the charge pipes are the usual reasons this turbo is replaced. The actuator comes on the unit, so there is nothing to swap over from the old turbo. Catalogs agree on 2016 to 2018 and do not agree on 2019 and later trucks, so check a later truck with us before you order.
Confirm Fitment Before You Order
This turbo is for the 2.8L Duramax diesel in the 2016 to 2018 Colorado and Canyon, not the gas engines. Catalogs do not agree on 2019 and later trucks, and it is not listed for the 2.8L Express or Savana vans. For a 2019 or later truck or a van, send us your VIN before you order. Call 530-668-0818 and we will confirm the exact match at no charge before anything ships.
