2007 Dodge RAM 3500.
The 5.9l (ISB 325) is an integral bore block and dont have sleeve.
I am going to repair mine. Failures in the turbo caused severe damage to the engine.
I have read in some forums that can be repaired using sleeves, even recommending use the sleeve Cummins P / N 3904166 along with a standard kit.
What is your recommendation to make this repair.
Which “engine rebuild kit” do you recommend and where to buy it?
Do you recommend changing the oil pump?

any other recommendations is welcome.

Sleeving the parent bore small Cummins blocks requires a engine machine shop that has extensive experience doing Cummins dry sleeve block bore and sleeve insertion. Not just Joe Blow's lawn mower shop with a boring bar.

Best to get your engine parts from a real Cummins trucking parts counter, lower cost than Mopar. Lots of cheap fake knockoffs from China and Indonesia. Don't want pot metal rings in these.

New Cummins only oil pump.

How did the turbo parts get past the charger/intercooler?

The turbo began to leak oil in the hoses toward the intercooler until it was stopped completely.

Actually I had to stop the truck but I did not.
