Hello and thanks! That's a tough one because the arm will never be exactly the same when you pull it off....can it be done sure but you need to have a way to view the % applied cause it can be off
I’m curious maybe you can help me, I have a 2012 with 110,000 miles. For the last 15 or 20,000 miles or so I don’t hear an exhaust break any longer but I don’t feel loss of power, still a fast truck. Can this be a symptom and it’s easy to just change out the actuator, calibrate it, and then slap it on the existing turbo? Thanks.
@@DIYKAI I just quoted on yesterday they are 1150. That turbo isn’t 3000 either… more like 6000… turbos very rarely go out… typically the actuator from all the soot build up from not servicing the crankcase filter and EGR circuit. Still expensive though.
@@RageBrothers so what we found with ours was the actuator failed and it was pretty gummed up in the turbo......ended up replacing the nozzle and ring ...that was fun lol...then reprogrammed the actuator and drove about 6k miles hard with a load and the OEM actuator finally went....2 cheap China ones later and it seems to be goo now...but yea the turbo at 250K looked amazing just replaced everything cause we were in there....long story short we got maybe 500 in on a home rebuild 12k miles so far and its good so we are happy
great video, super helpful!
Thanks and your welcome!
Must the actuator be recalibrated if it was pulled off the turbo, but the electrical connector was never disconnected?
Great turbo videos!

Hello yes that could definitely be the issue. Very easy to change we just did a video will be uploaded today sometime.
How’s it held up so far? Been skeptical of an Amazon acuator as far as longevity goes
The first 2 we got from other manufacturers were junk right out the box….this one has 1k miles and still fine
So you went threw two of another brand actuators before you got a good one. Or threw 2 of theses
Went through to dead on arrivals
Does the calibration software come on the scan tool or does that need to be downloaded?
On high end scan tools or you can buy a program and a obd port interface and do it that way as well we are going to do a video soon on it
Circuit board medics it the place to call for an actuator
Wrong… Cummins tech here. We sell actuators at FCA authorizes dealerships. I do actuators all the time.
great to know our local dealer wanted to sell us the whole turbo we used a cheap 300 buck one and its been fine...how much do the OEM actuators go for

Does this actuator kit work on a 2009 dodge…?
only on HE351VE Turbos
Maybe a dumb question, but where do I find what turbo my pickup has…?
@TimCrabtree-l5x is your truck stock? Like stock turbo?
@@DIYKAI Yes it’s stock
