A 7.3 Power Stroke rebuild kit must match the turbo already on the truck. Early 1994–1997 pickups used the TP38; 1999.5–2003 pickups use the GTP38, while vans and modified trucks can differ. A bearing-and-seal kit is not a replacement turbo, compressor wheel or up-pipe kit. Read the turbo tag, identify the housing and check the supplied parts before disassembly; a wheel that has contacted its housing or a damaged shaft needs professional assessment rather than seals alone.

AVP’s TRK73GT is sold for 1999–2003 Ford 7.3L GT38/GTP38 applications with a 360-bearing configuration. Match it to a stock Garrett-style late turbo; do not treat the GT38 name as approval for every aftermarket turbo.

- 1999.5–2003
- Stock Garrett GTP38
- Late-pickup application
- Specific generation
- Garrett identified
- Not an OBS TP38 kit
- Check turbo tag
Buying tips
- Read the turbo tag before buying parts: TP38, GTP38 and van applications are not interchangeable assumptions.
- A typical kit covers bearings, seals and thrust hardware; inspect each part against the kit’s own contents list.
- Up-pipe leaks, pedestal seals and compressor-wheel damage are separate faults with separate parts or service needs.
- Mark rotating-component orientation and seek professional balancing advice when a wheel or shaft is changed.
