19-22 Ram 6.7L Cummins Fleece Cheetah Turbocharger

My stock turbo already failed on my 2020 ram 6.7L Cummins. Is there a better replacement turbo that will last longer? If I chose the Fleece Cheetah turbo, what else needs to be upgraded to ensure the turbo and engine last longer?
 

 When it comes to replacing the stock turbo on a 2019-2022 Ram 6.7L Cummins, opting for a more robust and reliable aftermarket turbo like the Fleece Cheetah can be a great choice, especially if you're looking for improved performance and durability. Here’s a breakdown of considerations and additional upgrades that might be needed if you go with the Fleece Cheetah turbo:

Turbo Support Modifications:

Exhaust System: You need to upgrade your exhaust system to handle the increased airflow. A larger diameter exhaust or a high-flow catalytic converter could be necessary.

Intake System: Similarly, upgrading the air intake system will help ensure that your new turbo is getting enough air. A high-flow air filter and larger intake pipes might be required.

Fuel System Upgrades:
Injectors and Fuel Pump: To match the increased air flow from the turbo, more fuel is needed. Upgrading the injectors and possibly the fuel pump will help maintain the correct air-to-fuel ratio, which is crucial for avoiding engine damage.

Engine Tuning:
Custom Tuning: After installing a new turbo, custom engine tuning is essential. This will help optimize the engine’s performance and ensure it runs efficiently with the new turbo. It’s important to get this done by a professional who has experience with Cummins engines and the specific characteristics of the Fleece Cheetah turbo.

Cooling System:
Intercooler Upgrade: With the increased performance, the engine will produce more heat. An upgraded intercooler can help manage this by improving the cooling efficiency, which is critical to maintaining engine longevity.

Transmission and Drivetrain:
Transmission Check: Increased torque from the upgraded turbo can put additional stress on the transmission. It might be worth checking if your transmission needs beefing up, especially if you plan on using the truck for heavy-duty applications.

Regular Maintenance:
Oil Changes and Checks: With a more powerful turbo, regular maintenance becomes even more crucial. Use high-quality oil and ensure you adhere to a stringent maintenance schedule.
Installation and Warranty:

Professional Installation: Ensure that the turbo is installed by a professional to avoid any issues. Improper installation can lead to performance issues or even damage.

Warranty Considerations: Check if the aftermarket turbo affects your vehicle’s warranty and what the warranty on the new turbo covers.
Considering all these upgrades and adjustments will help ensure that your new Fleece Cheetah turbo performs well and that your engine remains in good health over time. Always consult with a professional tuner or mechanic who has experience with diesel engines and performance upgrades to get personalized advice and installation.
