BD DIESEL 1045768 5.9L Cummins Stock Replacement and Screamer Turbo
Installation Guide
Pre-Installation
A new turbocharger will not solve the following failures:
- Oil contamination
- Restrictive oil drain
- Over speed due to a boost leak or clogged air filter
- Exhaust leaks due to faulty bellows, clamps, or seals
Turbo over speed will lead to premature turbo failure. Boost pressure can be used to estimate turbo speed. The table below shows maximum allowable turbo speed for a stock motor at 3500rpm. A turbo intake restriction, clogged filter, high altitude or boost leak will cause increased wheel speed.
Turbo | Estimated Airflow (lb/min) | Max boost (psi) |
---|---|---|
1045768 | 75 lb/min | 39 |
Turbo Mount Exhaust Brakes
The BD Diesel Screamer turbo retains the factory turbine outlet. If your stock turbo has a turbo mount exhaust brake it can be transferred to your Screamer turbo. If you plan on purchasing an exhaust brake with your Screamer turbo buy according to the year of truck; see optional accessories section for year ranges and part numbers for BD Diesel exhaust brakes.

Introduction
The BD Screamer turbo series is now available for the 2003-2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins. The Screamer turbo is designed to be a drop-in stock-appearing performance turbocharger that increases boost, decreases drive pressure, and peak EGTs without affecting low-end drivability.
The 5.9L Cummins screamer turbo utilizes 63mm billet compressor wheel and a 67mm high-flow turbine wheel which offers increased turbine flow and efficiency. The screamer is capable of increasing horse power by 100whp over a stock turbo, and with supporting modification it is capable of 625hp.
Tools Required for Installation
- 7mm-22mm Metric Socket and Wrench Set
- 5/16”-9/16” Socket and Wrench Set
- Hose Clamp Plier
- Torque Wrench
- 21mm Crows foot
Installation
Removal
-
Disconnect the battery and raise the vehicle
-
Remove the passenger side inner fender well with a 5/16’’ socke
-
Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the turbo exhaust elbow.
- Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve lubricant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
- Remove the exhaust pipe-toextension pipe clamp using a 11mm socket. Seprate the exhaust pipe and extension pipe
- Remove the exhaust pipe-toturbo eblow clamp using a 10mm socket.
- Remove the exhaust pipe from the tranmission support.
- Exhaust pipe to turbo clamp
- Transmissin support
- Exhaust pipe
-
Remove the exhaust elbow from the turbo by removing the v-band clamp using a 10mm socket.
Note: Put this elbow aside, it will get used with thenew turbo. -

-
Remove the oil drain line from the turbo with a 10mm socket, discard the gasket.
-
Turbo oil drain tube bolt
-

-
Disconnect the turbo oil feed using a 21mm wrench
-
Remove the two lower turbo mounting nuts with a 15mm socket and extension.
Break lose the two upper turbo mounting nuts with a 15mm wrench
-
Lower the vehicle
-
Disconnect the air intake hose using a 7mm socket
-
Air inlet tube
-
Air filter housing
-
Turbo
-
On 04.5-07 trucks, you will need to disconnect the wastegate solenoid connector.
-
Disconnect the intercooler inlet pipe from the turbo compressor outlet. Use 7/16’’ socket for the hose band clamp.
-
Remove the two upper turbo mounting nuts with a 15mm wrench.
-
Remove the turbo and gasket from the exhaust manifold
-
If the turbo is not being installed immediately, cover the opening to prevent material from entering into the manifold.
-
Remove the turbocharger oil supply fitting and put it aside. This fitting will get used on the new turbo
Installation
For 2003-2004.5 make sure the compressor cover plug with 2 O-rings is installed on the compressor cover.
For 2004.5-2007 make sure the solenoid is installed on the compressor cover.
Be sure to torque either the plug or solenoid to 13.5 Nm (10 ftlbs)
-
Using the new gaskets (FT-920156020 & 3922794) provided in the kit, install the oil supply fitting from the old turbo to the Screamer turbo.Tighten fitting to 36 N.m (27 ft.lbs) with a 19mm socket.
-
From 2003 – 2004.5 the two rear manifold factory studs are too short so you must replace those two factory studs with the supplied studs (1462430)
-
Secure the turbo to the exhaust manifold with the two upper turbo mounting nuts. Use the NEW gasket provided with the turbo, and tighten nuts to 43 N.m (32ft. lbs) with a 15mm socket.
Important! Improper torque of flange can lead to exhaust leak, gasket failure and flange damage
