tawss04 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well I had my head unit F-up on me. So I sent it out to a place called Superchargerrebuilds.com and had it gone thru. I did some other upgrades (posted picks in the build thread). Had it all together and was pulling out of my shop. I got on it and the truck made a "noise" and shut down. when I checked it this is what I found- And yea that was a new impeller. I ended up buy a new D1 head unit. I need to send it back they are suppose to "do something" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Wow. I can see where that might make a bit of an odd noise. Like D1CSS say's; Keep us posted on how it all turns out. How many miles on the unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawss04 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not quite sure why you didnt send it to Procharger to be rebuilt I had the head unit and it needed an new oil slinger and output shaft. I found this place and just ordered the parts and rebuilt it (Procharger will not sell parts). I had some tranny issues and tore it down to fix it so I pulled the head unit ( had a bearing noise and I knew the impeller needed to be replaced). So I sent it to them for a rebuild. The owner said he never seen one do that. He did say send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also where did the broken pieces go....id be looking at replacing your charge cooler too Edited August 17, 2013 by 2BFAST (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprayed99 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Superchargerrebuids doesnt exactly have the best rep. I sure hope they step up and help you out. Just google their name with scam behind it and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Agreed on sending to Procharger. Now there is no way they would even try and replace anything. Out of the last 15 years that I have owned prochargers, I have never seen a case do that. Trying to call the blame game is the other issue you will have.

tawss04 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yea lesson learned. as for upgrading to a D1, I had a D1. When I bought the new head unit, I bought it thru http://brutespeed.com/, he sponsors the local Club I work with here in Jax http://www.rivercityperformance.com/forum/ he had the best price and easy to work with. Yea I thought about the intercooler, it stopped what looked like the majority of the pieces. I cleaned it out and used my bore scope to inspect it and I also pressure checked it. If anything went thru the engine I wouldn't know it sounds great plus I have my 408 getting built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 About how much does it cost to upgrade from a p1 to d1? When I upgraded mine it was a few hundred dollar difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
