6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator

The 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator is a component specifically designed for the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine, commonly found in heavy-duty trucks such as the Ram 2500 and 3500 series.  This actuator is part of the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) system and is responsible for controlling the position of the turbocharger’s variable vanes. 

The following are the main functions of the 6.7 Cummins turbo actuator:

• Optimize exhaust flow by controlling the variable vanes
• Improve engine performance
• Increase fuel efficiency
• Reduce emissions
• Help the diesel engine last longer

If the actuator on your 6.7-liter Cummins engine fails, it is important to replace it right away to ensure maximum performance of the turbo.

HD Turbo provides 6.7 Cummins turbo actuator replacements for VGTs used in the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine.  Our remanufactured 6.7 Cummins VGT actuators will meet or exceed OEM turbocharger specifications, and they are protected with our 12-month unlimited mileage warranty.

What Causes 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator Failure?

When the 6.7 turbo actuator fails, the engine will lose power and operate less efficiently.  There are several issues that can cause a 6.7 Cummins VGT actuator to fail and understanding what these issues are can help you recognize and prevent actuator failure.

The following are the main causes of 6.7 Cummins turbo actuator failure:

• Contamination: Contamination or rusting of the actuator can affect its performance and cause it to break.
• Vibration: Consistent vibration can wear out the actuator over time.
• Short to ground: A short to ground with the power supply can cause the actuator to short out.
• CAN wire issues: Issues with CAN wire can prevent the ECM from sending and receiving messages from the actuator.
• Stuck turbo syndrome: Build up around the sliding mechanism of VGTs can cause the vanes to stick which affects the actuator.
