Turbo exhaust bolt size? HELP THERE GONE!!!!

[groundpounder]

Hello and thanks for reading. After hearing a rattle when shutting down the massive 6 banger, I decided to search out the source. Upon my intense investigation it revealed that the exhaust flange bolts are gone!! The turbo portion is threaded but what thread size do I need?? I have a after market exhaust and some other mods and maybe the extra power caused them to work loose. Speculation on my part for the last. Thanks!!

I checked my '95 6BT5. 9 Parts catalog.

4 Studs Cummins p/n 3818823 (no size listed)
4 Nut, Hexagon Flange Cummins p/n 3818824
Size listed: M10 x 1. 50

If your turbo mounting flange is threaded, then D/C must have changed it since '95. The above info might not be any help.

There are only two holes and they are threaded. I would go to the part store but I need to know what the thread size is. Thanks for you help!!

You could try Metric thread M10 x 1. 50

Those could/should be them.

Thanks, HemiDart! By the way, how do you get the register trademark symbol in you user name? Just wondering!

The symbols are in the Windows Character Map.

Let me know if the bolts fit. #ad

It is a 10mm but I think it is 1. 25 on the thread, the length is about 2" or 51mm. bg
