Use cases and applications
What it does
Exhaust gas spins the turbine, which drives the compressor wheel on the same shaft and pushes more air into the engine. More air lets the engine burn more fuel cleanly, giving the rated power.
Where it is used
Made for the Cummins QSK19, QSK38 and QSK50 diesel engines. The full list is in the tables above.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Cummins QSK19?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins QSK19, and 2 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old turbocharger is marked 4040240 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the turbocharger on my Cummins QSK19?
On the Cummins QSK19, 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.
What are the signs the turbocharger needs replacing?
Blue or black smoke, a whistle or siren noise, loss of power, oil in the intake or exhaust, or the shaft rubbing the housing.
Why did the old turbo fail?
Most failures come from oil starvation, dirty oil, or something passing through the wheels. Find the cause first: a blocked oil feed or dirty air path will kill the new turbocharger too.
Is shaft play normal?
A little radial play is normal on journal bearing turbos. Wheels touching the housing, or any noticeable end float, are not.
Is this a genuine Cummins 4040240?
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the Cummins 4040240. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
