This is the BorgWarner 196800, a new HT3B turbocharger for the Cummins NTC 14.0L diesel, the 855 cubic inch engine. Catalogs list it as an interchange for the Holset HT3B 3523415 and Cummins 3801598. Older catalogs show the same number under the Schwitzer name, which is now part of BorgWarner. It is a complete new turbo, not a rebuild.
The NTC was built in many ratings and CPLs, and catalogs list more than one HT3B and BHT3B turbo for it. Order this one by the number on your old turbo. If the data plate reads 196800 or Holset 3523415, this is the replacement. If the plate is gone or reads something else, call us with the engine serial number and CPL before you order.
Confirm Fitment Before You Order
The Cummins NTC was built with more than one HT3B and BHT3B turbo, split by rating and CPL. Send us the number from your turbo data plate and your engine serial number and CPL, and we will match it before you order.
