    Turbo, Actuator - Both Or What?

    Hey folks, greetings.

    I just joined the forum, been a Cummins owner for a couple of years now.

    I have a 2017 RAM 2500, running EGRLess tune.

    All has been flawless until about a month ago or so.

    I'm getting a P003A, P00AF and U010C engine codes. all seems to be pointing to the actuator. turbo still makes boost, exhaust brake works.

    I've not checked max boost, but it seems to be fine.

    I took it to a shop. they recommended I take it to a dealer and that it would need a new actuator AND turbo.

    The truck has 43K miles on it so I was puzzled. then the shop stated it's cheaper to replace both as the actuator is part of the turbo.

    So first, is it me or does this sound totally wrong?

    The actuator is clearly a separate part, correct?

    Also, does any of this sound like a turbo replace?

    I'm not sure how they came to this diagnosis.

    I told them to stand down while I come get my truck.

    Any thoughts?

    I REALLY do not want to visit the dealer as I feel I'll get screwed since I changed the tune.

    I'm sure the warranty is no good, and lastly is there a DIY actuator that can be installed?

    Removing and installing the actuator looks relatively simple, but I have no calibration tools.

    Any help would be great.

    I have to get this fixed ASAP.

    Thanks all

    Welcome friend!

    Check with Dudes Diesel Performance, he is one of our vendors.

    They sell an actuator that doesn’t need calibration because it calibrates itself.

    Agreed, most likely you should be able to fix this issue with just the DIY Actuator.

    Good morning gents, thank you so much for the tag @AK Bob as it is very much appreciated. We can definitely get you taken care of if you need an actuator. Take a look at this one that we have that requires no calibrated and has a much stronger built in cleaning cycle then the rest!

    Holler at me if you have any questions about it as im happy to help.

    Awesome!

    Thanks for the replies.

    I'll be in touch with Dudes Diesel Performance.

    Was hoping there's a DIY way to do this.

    Dealerships in my area have a bad rep so I'm trying to stay away at all costs.

    Thanks much!!!

    Bob
