FAQs
Q1: How do I verify if this K31 turbocharger fits my Detroit Series 60 engine?
Please check the nameplate on your current turbocharger for the part number 23125091 or 23528062. Detroit turbos are very specific to engine displacements (11.1L, 12.7L, or 14L). This model is for the 12.7L version. If the nameplate is missing, please provide your Engine Serial Number (ESN) to our support team for a free fitment audit.
Q2: Does this turbocharger require modifications for North American trucks?
No. This is a 100% "drop-in" direct replacement. All mounting flanges, oil inlets, and air intake connections are identical to the original factory unit, ensuring a quick and reliable swap for Freightliner or Kenworth trucks.
Q3: What makes Zhongke’s Detroit turbos reliable for long-haul trucking?
Truckers need reliability over thousands of miles. We use genuine K18 nickel-alloy wheels and perform VSR high-speed balancing to ensure that our turbochargers run quietly and efficiently, preventing premature bearing failure even under high constant loads.
Q4: What type of warranty do you provide for commercial trucks?
As a direct manufacturer with nearly 30 years of experience, we stand behind our quality and provide full technical support for global fleet owners.
Q5: Do you provide worldwide shipping? What is the delivery timeframe?
We ship globally via premium carriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS, as well as sea freight for bulk orders. In-stock items are typically dispatched within 24–48 hours. Express delivery to North America and Europe usually takes 5–7 business days.
