Yes, it was made for the Caterpillar C13 diesel engine, and 1 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old turbocharger is marked 247-2965 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
On the Caterpillar C13 diesel engine, often as long as the engine, 8,000 hours or more, when the oil and air filters are kept on schedule. Most turbos fail early from oil or dirt problems, not age.
Blue or black smoke, a whistle or siren noise, loss of power, oil in the intake or exhaust, or the shaft rubbing the housing.
Yes. Fit new oil and a new filter, and replace the oil feed and drain gaskets. Make sure the drain line is clear and runs downhill.
A little radial play is normal on journal bearing turbos. Wheels touching the housing, or any noticeable end float, are not.
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the Caterpillar 247-2965. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
