Default Will this turbo fit my ram?

I have a 1998 5.9L 12V Cummins dually. My turbo is shot and my buddy has one so i want to know if i can use it. The only info he got is on the tag:

  • Inprint: Holset
  • Kit: 3801614
  • Assy: 3522867
  • Serial:542847

Any info will be great! thanks guys!

You sure the turbocharger needs replacing?

Yes. The fan moves about 1/4 inch left to right and she blows blue smoke and barely moves

sounds like that turbo is a HT3b...

it will work as a primary for hx35/ht3b twins, but as a single turbo, not without a LOT of fuel and custom piping as its a reverse spin turbo... and its about 2x the size of a hx35
