2004.5-2005 LLY Duramax trucks require the Garrett 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter harness, sold separately. LBZ and LMM trucks do not require this adapter. Confirm your engine code before ordering.
The Garrett 848212-5001S GT3788VA is a brand-new OE stock replacement turbocharger for 2004.5-2010 GM 6.6L Duramax LLY, LBZ, and LMM engines - Silverado, Sierra, Express, and Savana 2500, 3500, and 4500. This is a 100% new Garrett unit - not rebuilt or remanufactured - featuring a revised center housing with three cobalt pins for improved vane actuation, cobalt VGT pins, and VSR factory balancing. A new VGT control valve and new VGT position sensor are included. No core charge required.
The Garrett 848212-5001S is a brand-new GT3788VA stock replacement for 2004.5-2010 GM 6.6L Duramax LLY, LBZ, and LMM trucks; it includes the VGT control valve and position sensor, requires no core return, and is backed by a 1-year / 100,000-mile warranty. Gaskets are sold separately.
- Your 2004.5-2010 LLY, LBZ, or LMM Duramax needs a turbo replacement and you want a brand-new Garrett unit with all latest design improvements
- You want factory VGT response and boost control restored with a direct drop-in replacement and no core return required
- You want the VGT control valve and position sensor included - no separate sensor purchase required
- You want increased airflow headroom and performance - see the Stage 1 PowerMax 773540-5001S or Stage 2 PowerMax GT4094VA
- Your engine code is outside LLY, LBZ, or LMM - verify your VIN code before ordering
- Engine code is LLY (VIN 2), LBZ (VIN D), or LMM (VIN 6)
- LLY trucks (2004.5-2005) require the 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter - sold separately
- Source the AP0162 turbocharger installation kit separately - gaskets are not included
Stock Replacement vs PowerMax Upgrade - Which Is Right?
The 848212-5001S restores factory VGT boost behavior and drivability - the correct choice for a stock or mildly modified truck focused on reliability. If your build has progressed beyond stock fueling or you want additional airflow headroom, the Stage 1 PowerMax 773540-5001S supports up to 500 HP, and the Stage 2 GT4094VA PowerMax supports up to 575 HP. Both upgrades are drop-ins for the same LLY/LBZ/LMM range. Stay with the 848212-5001S if factory-spec restoration is the goal. Verify your engine code and confirm your build plan, then this is the correct part to order.
What the Revised Center Housing Changes
The 848212-5001S ships with every design update Garrett has incorporated into this platform. The most significant improvement is the revised center housing featuring three cobalt pins - added to reduce housing distortion and improve vane actuation accuracy. Combined with cobalt VGT vane pins, VSR factory balancing, and end-of-line inspection, every unit leaves the factory to tighter tolerances than an independently remanufactured core can reliably match.
The VGT control valve and vane position sensor ship with the turbo - two components that are commonly replaced at the same time and do not need to be sourced separately for this swap. LLY trucks require the 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter harness in addition to these included components.
What Comes in the Box
The 848212-5001S includes three components for the core turbo replacement. Gaskets are not included - source the AP0162 installation kit before beginning the swap.
- New Garrett GT3788VA turbocharger (complete assembly)
- New VGT control valve
- New VGT position sensor
Gaskets and installation hardware are sold separately via the AP0162 turbocharger installation kit. LLY trucks also require the 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter, sold separately.

Avoid These Common Ordering Mistakes
- Skipping the LLY adapter: 2004.5-2005 LLY trucks require the Garrett 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter harness. It is not included in this kit. Order the 771864-0001 adapter separately before starting the install if your engine code is LLY.
- Assuming gaskets are included: The AP0162 installation kit is sold separately. Order the AP0162 install kit before beginning the swap.
- Ordering this for a performance build: The 848212-5001S restores factory stock boost behavior. If your truck is tuned or fueled beyond stock and you want more airflow headroom, see the Stage 1 or Stage 2 PowerMax options instead.
- Wrong engine code: The LLY, LBZ, and LMM are the only confirmed fitments. Check your VIN (8th character) to confirm your engine code before ordering.
Before You Order - Final Confirmation
- Engine code confirmed: LLY (VIN 2), LBZ (VIN D), or LMM (VIN 6)
- Year confirmed: 2004.5-2010
- VGT control valve and position sensor confirmed included - no separate purchase needed
- LLY trucks: 771864-0001 adapter ordered separately
- AP0162 install kit ordered separately for gaskets and hardware
For a 2004.5-2010 GM 6.6L Duramax with a confirmed LLY, LBZ, or LMM engine code and a stock-spec restoration goal, the 848212-5001S is the correct brand-new Garrett GT3788VA to order - revised center housing, cobalt VGT pins, VGT control valve and position sensor included, 1-year Garrett warranty, no core required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 848212-5001S fit my 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6.6L Duramax?
Yes. The 2006 Sierra 2500HD with a 6.6L Duramax uses the LBZ engine code (VIN D), which is a confirmed fitment for the 848212-5001S. Verify your VIN 8th character is D before ordering to confirm your engine code.
Does my 2005 LLY Duramax need the 771864-0001 adapter with this turbo?
Yes. 2004.5-2005 LLY trucks (VIN code 2) require the Garrett 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter harness to install this turbocharger. The adapter is not included in the 848212-5001S kit and must be ordered separately from the 771864-0001 adapter page. LBZ and LMM trucks do not require this adapter.
What does the 848212-5001S come with?
The 848212-5001S includes the complete new Garrett GT3788VA turbocharger assembly, a new VGT control valve, and a new VGT position sensor. Gaskets and installation hardware are not included - source the AP0162 turbocharger installation kit separately. LLY trucks additionally require the 771864-0001 vane position sensor adapter, also sold separately.
Does 97387896 replace the 848212-5001S on a 6.6L Duramax?
Yes. GM OE number 97387896 is a confirmed cross-reference for the 848212-5001S. Additional confirmed GM OE numbers include 98011735 and 12639460. The 848212-5001S is the correct new-unit replacement for any of those OE numbers on 2004.5-2010 LLY, LBZ, and LMM Duramax applications.
What is the warranty on the Garrett 848212-5001S?
The 848212-5001S is backed by a 1-year / 100,000-mile Garrett warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship - whichever limit occurs first. This is a brand-new unit with no core return required.
What is the difference between the 848212-5001S and the PowerMax Stage 1 or Stage 2?
The 848212-5001S is a factory stock-spec replacement that restores original boost behavior and VGT response - the right choice for a stock or mildly modified truck. The Stage 1 PowerMax (773540-5001S) supports up to 500 HP with a larger compressor wheel, and the Stage 2 GT4094VA PowerMax supports up to 575 HP. Both upgrades are drop-ins for the same engine range. Choose the 848212-5001S for factory restoration; choose a PowerMax if your build has progressed beyond stock fueling.
Does this turbo require gaskets and hardware for install?
Yes - gaskets and installation hardware are not included with the 848212-5001S. Source the AP0162 turbocharger installation kit separately before beginning the swap.
