Sure you could- it can be serviced for a little more than half that price if all it needed was new bearings and seals.
Not to mention the PTE journal bearing 6262 runs around $900 new; you've now spent $320 on top of that for a rebuild....so that's $1220 spent and you still have a journal bearing 6262 when you could have had a new ball bearing unit from the get-go for nearly the same price.
IT needed more than just new bearings and seals. Also, I would rather pay the money to have the company that makes them tell me whats wrong with it and fix it back to their spec.
I think the jb turbo works grate for the 6 and me times a year I track it. I have no need to buy a bb turbo for this vehicle. Just thought it was a good price being most other professional shops charge 400+ for a jb rebuild so I think I did pretty good.
Also a bb 6262 goes for around 1450 not 1220..
