Ford Ranger Turbo Actuator, Genuine VS Aftermarket

[@josephhalwagy6435]

Mate:) thanks for taking the time and efforts in putting this video. My experience is also similar to yours. The genuine parts are not only way over priced, they are often ridiculously bundled to extract as much money from the poor buyer. The aftermarket parts are reasonably adequate for the purpose at significantly cheaper prices

[@jlaustill]

This has me motivated to have a metal worm gear made to make one of these more robust

[@enesfazlic6017]

You can see the Garret one has the green circuit board on the cog wheel thats for ECU is able to know the position of the wheel and acutuator arm at all times. China one doesnt have it. Has just the plain circuit board. So crap. Thanx for proving it with eveidence to support it.

Put after market actuator in and when you put power too it starts flickering straight away and doesnt stop car ford ranger 2018 any ideas

[@baileymcdonald3573]

Awesome videos mate helped me out alot, just purchased a 2014 ranger and loving it so far. what oil would you recommend at 260K kms, stick to the recommended 5W-30 or go a bit thicker?

[@abdautomotive]

can go a 5w40

You have the best channel bar none on ranger DIY, super respect dude..

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Love this channel. Thank you. Be good to have an electronics engineer explain the differences in the board

[@TheMezzy712]

Love your work. I usually come to your channel before going to my workshop manual.

They way I see it the Garrett actuator should be more reliable than it actually is and should outlast the mechanicals of a turbo plus the actuator can not be purchased separately. When or if this happens to my ranger i will try the eBay one better than a replacement turbo

[@AdelJeffreyJeffreysAuto]

also i bet adding high temp ceramic brakes grease on the gears would improve its longivity dramatically.

[@AdelJeffreyJeffreysAuto]

the chinese one doesn't have the rotary encoder that report the vanes position back to the ecu! and the PCB seems to fool the ecu with false signal regarding its postion! it be intersting how the chinese vs the OEM behave on the sweeping motion while driving! got the same one on my pickup intersting video mate.

[@NCHuntSA]

Agreed. This is the difference and why I will get OEM.

[@AdelJeffreyJeffreysAuto]

@@NCHuntSA I feel it will be a gamble with the Chinese unit that it may malfunction and cause overboost condition . If the OEM got damaged gears maybe i buy the chinese unit and rebuild the OEM from it.

[@NCHuntSA]

@@AdelJeffreyJeffreysAuto Yes, exactly, why take the chance? Using the copy's gears is a good work around.

[@Huskydog78]

Dont really need the position feedback. MAP demand vs actual MAP will throw a code if theres much difference. Still agree i wouldn't buy one of these Chinee ripoff jobs

[@TheCommanderNZ]

​@@NCHuntSAOEM board is made in China anyway...

[@4dirt2racer0]

they're identical because the Chinese simply copy stuff in the cheapest possible way, for example the missing position encoder, whiches what the extra parts were, without the feedback tho it's more than likely going to throw a code

[@mattscheele4954]

Just another automotive rip off that you cannot replace this part without a whole turbo charger unit

[@Huskydog78]

Do you know if the Forscan service procedure to relearn turbo actuator open/close position is functional with Ranger? Doesn't make sense that it would as there is a position feedback (not on the chinee one tho) but the option is still there..?

[@fpnaude676]

Amazing detail on ur videos! Thx so much 4 sharing ur knowledge

[@arturprivat8180]

I don't trust the Chinese XD later my turbo is going to blow up

[@mrsbenck]

eBay, China & KZbin has kept my vehicles going this last 15 + years.

[@abdautomotive]

same here

[@chedda2871]

what would the fault code associated with an actuator failure be?
