No one has shown that its a Garret turbo on the Cherokee. Guy was posting about a Liberty.

Btw, I like Garret turbos. Haha Turbo I6 Dan used to work for them.

And... that slightly different geometry on the Mercedes or mercedes engineered turbos, probably includes the larger oil supplys typical of a Mercedes turbo. Which would explain why their turbos last forever.

That and people arent fucking with them like they are with other brands, the stock powerstroke turbos will last forever, until you try and squeeze 44lbs through them.

The mercedes part number directly crosses to garret. Whether you refuse to accept it or not, these are take off units, straight off mercedes vehicles.

My FORD has ford logos on everything when I know international assembled and manufactured it. I can buy the same parts from an international dealer and get the same exact parts with an international logo.

My point is just because it's got a fancy start on it means nothing.

The tremec T56 is a direct replacement part number for the Borg Warner T56 son. It can become OEM even when it wasn't originally. There is a different glow plug control module available now too.

Otherwise explain my silver star logo versus that Garrett logo on the turbo in your link.

Just a side note. Otherwise identical products can be branded differently. That's common.
