Stock Replacement or PowerMax Upgrade for Your 2004-2005 6.0L?
Both the 743250-5024S and the GT3788V Stage I PowerMax 772441-5002S are brand-new Garrett options for this 6.0L production range, but their fitment windows are expressed differently - confirm your ESN and build date against each turbo's spec before choosing. The 743250-5024S is the stock-spec restoration part for a truck focused on reliability and factory behavior. The PowerMax uses an 88mm compressor wheel with optimized vane geometry to increase airflow capacity and improve mid-range boost response - the better choice for a tuned truck or one with performance headroom goals.

Stock rebuild on a daily driver or tow rig - the 743250-5024S is the right part to order. Tuned truck or growing build - confirm your build date matches the PowerMax fitment window and consider the upgrade path.
Common 6.0L GT3782VA VGT Failure Signs
Most owners start looking for a replacement after noticing sluggish throttle response off idle, excessive turbo lag during freeway merging, or intermittent low power and black smoke under load. Stuck or sticking VGT vanes are the most common failure mode on the GT3782VA - carbon buildup, rust, and soot accumulation in the turbine housing reduce unison ring clearance until vane movement seizes. Corrosion inside the VGT mechanism, unison ring wear increasing vane side clearance, and turbine-end oil seal leakage are the other primary failure paths on high-mileage 2004-2005 trucks. A new Garrett unit restores correct mechanical tolerances and eliminates unknown service history risk carried by any reman core.
Why a New Garrett Over a Reman on the GT3782VA
A brand-new turbo removes the uncertainty that comes with any remanufactured unit. Garrett's compressor wheel validation requires one million cycles before a new wheel is cleared - ensuring the rotating assembly starts life without prior fatigue history. Analysis of failed remanufactured units has shown micro-cracks in compressor wheel bores, which is one reason Garrett positions new construction as the more reliable path. Every 743250-5024S ships with a new rotating assembly, new compressor and turbine wheel, new unison ring and vane set cut to correct VGT clearances, and an updated center housing designed to reduce the corrosion-related friction that causes unison ring binding. The solenoid control valve uses tightened oil-flow parameters, improving vane position accuracy across the RPM range.
If a lower upfront cost is the priority and a reman unit is acceptable, the Garrett reman 743250-9024S is the alternative - note that a core charge applies and the customer is responsible for core return shipping.

Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Ordering by model year alone: The 2004 and 2005 model years span multiple ESN ranges requiring different turbos. Only the ESN confirms the correct part number on this platform.
- Assuming the -5024S and -5025S are interchangeable: They are not. The late-build 743250-5025S is the factory stock match for ESN 6,344,943 and above. If you have a 2006-2007 truck and want a strict stock-spec replacement, verify the -5025S is the better fit.
- Skipping oil system checks before install: A contaminated or restricted oil supply is a primary cause of premature turbo bearing failure on the 6.0L. Confirm the oil feed line, filter, and oil cooler condition before installing any new turbocharger.
- Reusing compromised charge plumbing: Boost leaks from cracked intercooler boots or loose connections stress the new turbo immediately. Inspect and seal the charge air system before startup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 743250-5024S fit my 2004 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke?
It depends on your engine serial number - not just the model year. The 743250-5024S fits ESN 6,155,638 through 6,344,942. Early 2004 trucks with an ESN below 6,155,638 require the 725390-5006S instead. Late-build trucks with ESN 6,344,943 and above require the 743250-5025S. Check the ESN stamped on your block before ordering.
Is the 743250-5024S brand new or a reman?
This is a 100% brand-new Garrett turbocharger - not rebuilt, not remanufactured. No reused internal components. If a reman unit better fits your budget, the Garrett reman 743250-9024S is the alternative - a core charge applies and the customer is responsible for core return shipping.
What is the difference between the 743250-5024S and the GT3788V Stage I PowerMax?
The 743250-5024S is a stock-spec replacement that restores factory boost behavior and VGT vane control - the right choice for a stock or mildly modified truck. The GT3788V Stage I PowerMax (772441-5002S) uses an 88mm compressor wheel with optimized vane geometry for increased airflow capacity and improved mid-range response, and is better suited to tuned or higher-output builds. Both are brand new, both preserve full AVNT variable geometry operation, and neither requires a core return. Confirm your build date matches the PowerMax fitment window separately before choosing.
Does Garrett 743250-5024S replace Ford OE number 4C3Z6K682CDRM?
Yes. The 743250-5024S is the confirmed direct replacement for Ford OE 4C3Z6K682CDRM, as well as 4C3Z6K682BA, 4C3Z6K682CBRM, 4C3Z6K682AARM, 4C3Z6K682ARM, and 4C3Z6K682CCRM. It also replaces IH stamping numbers 1832159C91, 1845178C98, 1843761C93, 1854480C91, 1846767C91, 1846765C91, and 1845322C91. See the full cross-reference section above for all superseded Garrett numbers.
Can the 743250-5024S be installed on a 2006-2007 6.0L Power Stroke?
Yes, it can be installed on 2006-2007 trucks. The 743250-5024S features a slightly larger turbine wheel than the factory late 2006-2007 configuration, which may provide improved turbine flow characteristics in tuned applications. For a strict factory stock-spec replacement on a 2006-2007 truck, the 743250-5025S is the factory-matched option.
Does this turbo need a tune after installation?
No tuning is required. The 743250-5024S is a stock-specification direct replacement that restores factory boost behavior and VGT vane control without recalibration.
What warranty does the Garrett 743250-5024S come with?
Garrett Turbo Technologies provides a 1-year limited warranty from the date of shipment covering defects in materials and workmanship. Approved warranty claims result in either a replacement unit or credit equal to the original purchase price, at Garrett's discretion. Claims must be submitted within 30 days of discovering a defect.
