I got a 2022 Duramax LP five with the same issue. I’m looking at replacing the actuator but my veins are stuck at 30% and won’t go past that any ideas?

[@DrSamBeckett]

Having these issues with my 2020 Duramax. Have you gotten yours taken care of?

[@socanyou2714]

So for the relearn you didnt have to use scan tool you just cut ignition on and off a few times?

[@CFarmer]

Yes, it took a few cycles of ignition but it learned itself

[@L5Paulson]

Hey bud, I know this is an older video, but hoping u see this. Did u ever have any reason to go get a vane position relearn? Or once it self learned were you good to go? Just swamped mine, so thanks! 🤙

[@mr.tennessee]

Great video!! I’m glad you got your part in. And I hope it’s a long time before it goes down again.

[@CFarmer]

Thank you! Mee Too

[@Markslife101]

Worried me when the codes didn't stayed cleared, but your correct on the relearn process, good video man, thanks for sharing!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you

[@AD-T]

You didn’t perform a turbocharger vane position learn after installation. I’m gonna take a fat guess that your truck is tuned. I did a similar vehicle where customer had the battery die and the tune lost the turbo vane position. I’m more than sure there was nothing wrong with that actuator .You need to go into the special functions and learn the turbo vane position. With your autel or other suitable scan tool.

[@CFarmer]

Truck is completley stock (no tuning). After i installed the new actuator i tried vgt learn with the autel with no luck (no option for vgt learn for this truck. I saw the option for others) so i took it to a friend that has a better scan tool. Still not an option. Took it to dealer (last resort). They told me it would self learn... To Drive it. 478508k miles today with no lights and no issues. I did try though

[@AD-T]

@@CFarmer what year is your truck I’m assuming it’s a 17-19 maybe thats why I’m confused

[@CFarmer]

2018. It boggled me too and even though I'm having no issues it still seems to be something that i would like to have done or checked. . I'm still supprised i didn't have the option. Very surprised dealer didn't take my money and either do relearn or tell me they did, lol. Thank you for your comment. It's been a while and i need to do more research on it. It went out of sight and out of mind.

[@AD-T]

@@CFarmer one last question do you know where your truck was manufactured

[@CFarmer]

It says assembled in Flint Michigan on the door but it's also a Canadian spec truck

[@jackiewilson6796]

The blessing here is that your truck went down while you were home and not across the country 👍🏻. We are glad you’re back!!! 🙌🏻

[@CFarmer]

Absolutley! Mee Too

[@richardpreston6078]

Great video! Thank you for showing that it didn’t require a tool to do a relearn. That’s awesome! Hopefully it’ll last as long as the original one did for you!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you. I hope it does too

[@Jc-bo1uu]

You will need to do a turbo vein position sensor relearn.

[@arthurnewman3483]

I've got a 2019 5500hd that's been having this problem but the dealer can't seam to fix it 3rd actuator and 5times relearn. That's after def tank was replaced in February after I waited a month and a half. I'm glad yours got fixed. The dealer gives it back to me and after about 200 miles it does it all over again. Now I'm waiting for a fuel pump modual/ driver that's on back order till 10/28/22. I'm so disappointed in gm they have gone to hell as far as reliability goes

[@CFarmer]

Man, i hate to hear that. they should step up and figure it out or compensate your downtime. I hope they figure something out

[@calvincampbell5962]

Ive had two orders cancelled for this part, truck runs fine after a driving it for a bit, but on initial start you can't here the actuator moving or after shutting it off, I have to drive the truck on highway for 30 mins before light goes off and actuator starts working again. Just want the thing to work all the time.

[@CFarmer]

Mine was working sometimes then stopping. I could see one the edge monitor when it would stop. I hope you get it fixed up

[@Mikeb-tx4cd]

Excellent video.... you make everything look so easy. No way I could make a video like that. I think I enjoy working on things, but for some reason it never goes that smooth and after a few minutes, I end up talking dirty to whatever it is I’m working on! Glad you’re back on the road. God bless and safe travels!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you, lol. In all honesty i delete a ton of video and i turn a 30 min job into a hour and a half job because it doesn't go so smooth and then i start over, lol. I do enjoy making the videos though and it makes it all worth it to get comments like these. I appriciate it Mike!

[@timfast8306]

seems every time I walk past my truck the actuator moves. do you know why that is?

[@CFarmer]

The actuator cycles to clean the soot off the arm that works the variable veins inside the turbo. If it builds up it can cause linkage to stick

[@deborahvessell6870]

How could something so small cause such big problems? So glad you'll be back on the road now. Take care of yourself!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you, Mee Too

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Great video! Think might have to get one of those AUTEL. Seems like all the new vehicles comes with problems.

[@jasongrinnell1986]

What model is the code reader?

[@CFarmer]

Autel MK-808BT Scantool A link to the one i have amzn.to/3CjDWIS

[@papaz6047]

Great video. Always enjoy watching you mechanic and troubleshoot! You are a good teacher. I save these videos in case I have the same issue!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you! Hopefully you won't have any issues for a long long time

[@chevyboyzz4996]

How many miles does your L5p have is it a 2018 or 2019

[@CFarmer]

2018 and 432488 this morning

[@GamerRetroHn]

Hello!, the procedure to carry out the relearn is to switch on off several times? or does it take care of doing it with a scanner

[@t.l.robinson2162]

You could have gotten your actuator from Gale Banks.

[@CFarmer]

I honestly didn't think about calling banks

[@jamesbechthold8858]

Nice job Mr. Farmer!.. (James B... Duluth, MN.

[@CFarmer]

Thank ya Mr James. Hope you're doing good

[@Toddstjohn]

Glad you got her going again. At that advanced number of miles at what point do you start ti consider replacing the truck?

[@CFarmer]

Well, a smart guy probably already would have. Seems to me the newer the truck the harder it is to work on and harder it is to get parts. I hope to keep patching this one up

[@Toddstjohn]

@@CFarmer I'm no expert but it seems to me once you get past 200 - 250k miles they lose so much value it wouldn't make sense to replace it until it just quits

[@davex36]

glad you found the part and got it going again. wish I could have been better help get the part for ya. that's a good truck you got, hoping my duramax treats me as good. you know if you ever need parts let me know and I'll try to help out. have a good one bud.

[@CFarmer]

All good, glad it's all fixed up now. I know and i really appriciate it! I'll talk to ya soon

[@davex36]

@@CFarmer I know you do, I do want to talk to you and Joey soon about something and pick your brains and get some advice with you guys experience. It relates to my brother's business. I'll fire off a text to you and Joey as group in a couple days. My brother and I had a long conversation today while I was running to VA for him today. Be safe bud and glad to see it seems you're feeling better.

[@CFarmer]

Sounds good

[@whalley8835]

Thanks for this. Mine just went out so was looking at how to fix.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Or Ryan's Diesel Service.

[@CFarmer]

Ryan's didn't have one available

[@Mccormickish69]

So glad you’re showing this. My actuator just bit the dust a couple nights ago. 🤣

[@CFarmer]

O no, hope you find one one easier/ quicker than i did

[@Mccormickish69]

I already ordered it and it arrived yesterday from Lincoln Diesel Specialties. However, my duct tape came off and the nut is GONE. 🤣 Headed to find one that will fit.

[@CFarmer]

O no, i hope it goes well. I didn't have to do a relearn after install.

[@Mccormickish69]

@@CFarmer I didn’t have to either. If I could post pictures I would. Vane position % is good and I’m making boost.

[@CFarmer]

Good deal
