As some of you know I have been having engine issues for quite some time. I have changed many parts and have narrowed the cause toward the actuator. I had reoriented the factory unit and with only 39000 miles on the turbo. I chose to change the actuator. I searched and did not like the reman reviews or the fact that even a new one wanted my core.

So I bought the actuator made by City Diesel and sold by @Geno's Garage. I got the part in record time and decided to start it tonight.

Now, they say that you need to make sure the vane control lever moves before buying this actuator as there are no returns. Mine moved and I confirmed it when I ripped my old one off.

The part is very nice. It comes with the motor, gaskets, bolts and a new gearbox housing. The entire unit feels better than the factory unit. The gearbox looks like a unit for a truck and also comes with an adapter cable to connect the motor to the factory harness. The only problem I have is that the wires do not bolt to the turbo like the factory unit so the extra length looks a bit crappy, but if this works, I won't care one bit.

I have yet to clear the codes and see how it works but that will come tomorrow.

I still need to refill the radiator and put the fender liner back in.

Here are some pictures of the unit.

It looks like jewelry.
