Turbo bearings

Well, after only 235,000 miles the turbo bearings are starting to make noise and I feel a little radial play in the shaft.
Called up Cummins Cal Pacific for cost of rebuilt and was shocked to learn its less than $500. Not cheap, but less than I thought it would be. Now for the job of replacing it.
I was hoping it would last another 100K. Was saving that money for new injectors. Oh well, driving one of these things aint cheap and they dont last forever.
I hope the injector pumps lasts awhile.
