Detroit Diesel DD15 14.8L Wastegated Turbocharger (Detroit A4720901480) | BorgWarner 57909882500 New
This is the BorgWarner 57909882500, a new wastegated turbocharger, not a rebuild, for the Detroit Diesel DD15 14.8L in Freightliner trucks. Catalogs list it for 2013 to 2019 engines. BorgWarner also prints the number as 5790 988 2500. It replaces Detroit A4720901480, EA4720901480 and RA4720901480, and it crosses to Garrett 916455-5002Y and Alliant Power DTech DT148000R.
The DD15 was built with more than one turbo, so the year alone does not pick the part. EPA10 and GHG14 engines built with the Holset HX55 turbo, Detroit A4720962499 and the numbers around it, take Garrett 887393-5005S. Engines with EPA 2017 emissions equipment are listed with a different BorgWarner turbo, 57889882400, Detroit A4720901880 and A4720902880. No catalog lists either of those for this turbo. Low boost, oil in the charge pipes, shaft play or a damaged wheel are the usual reasons for replacement. Find the cause first, because a bad oil supply or debris will take out the next turbo too. Heavy truck turbos are matched by the number on the turbo tag.
Confirm Fitment Before You Order
The DD15 was built with at least three different turbos. This one is for engines whose turbo carries Detroit A4720901480 (BorgWarner 5790 988 2500 or 5790 970 2500). A Holset turbo tagged A4720962499 or a nearby number takes Garrett 887393-5005S, and a turbo tagged A4720901880 or A4720902880 takes BorgWarner 57889882400. Send us the numbers on your turbo tag and your engine serial number and we will confirm the match. Call 530-668-0818 and we will confirm the exact match at no charge before anything ships.
