6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator

Need help finding the right 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator? Provide your engine serial number or VIN, and we’ll help you choose the perfect match!

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.

What is a 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator?

The 6.7 Cummins turbo actuator is the actuator used in the variable geometry turbochargers of the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine.  The actuator controls the variable vanes of the VGT to provide the right amount of exhaust gases to the turbocharger for the appropriate boost.  The main functions of the 6.7 Cummins turbo actuator are to optimize exhaust flow for improved engine performance and fuel efficiency.

How do I Know if My 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator is Bad?

The following are the main signs that your 6.7 Cummins turbo actuator is failing:

  • Flashing engine lights: The engine light may come on if the actuator has failed.
  • Loss of power: The turbo may completely lose power without the actuator.
  • Inconsistent boost pressure: Improper calibration of the actuator may result in inconsistent boost pressure.
  • Over or under boost: The actuator may over or under boost the engine if the calibration is off.
  • Strange noises: Any strange noises coming from the turbocharger may indicate a failing actuator.
  • Fault codes: The appearance of fault codes may be due to a failing actuator.
What is the Cost to Replace a 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator?

The cost of a replacement remanufactured 6.7 Cummins Turbo Actuator can range from $600 to $800.
