What should I do if my actuator fails on my Cummins Mills?
Fix: Cleaning or replacement of actuator (if possible) or replacement turbo While stuck vane scenarios are more common on the turbos aboard Power Stroke and Duramax engines, the Holset HE351VE found on ’07.5-and newer 6.7L Cummins mills is notorious for actuator failure (the big, honkin’ attachment to the left of the compressor housing).
When does an actuator need to be replaced?
This fault can often go undetected during repair and workshop testing, as the fault can only be detected once the actuator heats up. If the turbo connector is knocked or banged, it will break and the whole unit will need replacing.
What causes an actuator in an engine to break?
If the turbo connector is knocked or banged, it will break and the whole unit will need replacing. The location of a turbo in the engine compartment can mean the electronic actuator is more susceptible to water ingress. The actuator can become rusty and contaminated, giving the wrong signals and ultimately breaking.
