Turbo Exhaust/Waste Gate Housing cracked

Run it ? About the only choice I have for now.
I did hear of some feller here in town that has a 6.5 engine with a busted cranking shaft. Might be I can get the turbo off of His, or, buy his engine so I have some spare parts. LOL

I'm sure someone can help you out with one

I would consider to just run it. Given the location, I don't foresee any catastrophic failure potential. Besides, how long have you been running it anyway? Meanwhile, keep an eye out for a replacement.

YUP, seems to be the option, is to run with it. LOL
I did go visit that guy about that 6.5 with the busted cranking shaft. He said it is a 6.2, but, He said He might have a 6.5 engine in a old trailer. he said when He gets there next time He would check it out and give Me a call.
Might be a good thing, might be a curse, only time will tell and, any spare parts is a good thing, in My opinion. LOLOLOL

I'm sure I have one but the freight on that hunk of cast iron would be spendy from here

Yeah, maybe before winter hits I`ll get one of them uprated and much improved turbo unit.
This old thing will hold for as long as I need it to. LOL
Thank You for the offer.

How about grinding out the crack and using one of @ak diesel driver's magic cast iron welding rods to repair it? A little finishing with a grinder and good as new!
