VGT turbo actuator - diagnose, remove, replace, install, and calibrate for Cummins isb

[@don-ge6uw]

As a struggling diesel mechanic that works for a company that offers no training this video was so helpful thank you 🙏

[@drillacbug]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge it helped me greatly.

[@jgist909]

Great video! Thanks for your help

[@MCRD115]

Listen my friend you just made an outstanding procedural video on how to troubleshoot the electrical, mechanical, and diagnostic of the VGT. You were very detailed in every explanation and the video where we can see the physical movements were outstanding. You verbal explaining of the parts and process is spot on. Dont be concerned with all these Couch Potato's criticizing your effects here. I have a Paccar MX-13 EPA 17 my VGT Actuator went bad last week 12-19-23 and your Video I watch is exactly my problem. My JPro Code for my issue is EGR Malfunction detected fault code P1496. Variable Geometry Turbocharge VGT Actuator Can Communications error U1159. I'm wanting a new VGT I ordered. Great Video f....k everyone criticizing you my friend outstanding work to show us all the Procedures and how to. FYI guys watching video what size Alan Key Socket he used he says it is 3/16th Socket.

Well said Shannon

Thank you

No load test or checking the pins at the ECM? Man that was a risk too those bolts don’t always come out that easy haha

[@feral4mr2]

Do you know what the code 6 is on the installation sequence? I am installing a new vgt actuator and am getting the same code 6. Cheers

[@alreyindustries]

I don’t know what you mean by code 6.

[@feral4mr2]

@@alreyindustries in your video using insite on the install part it came up with failed and showed you code 6.

[@alreyindustries]

@@feral4mr2 do you have the new actuator off of the turbo, but connected to the electrical connector?

[@feral4mr2]

@@alreyindustries yes.

[@feral4mr2]

@@alreyindustries yes. As per installation procedure.

[@TheAhuizar1990]

If I remove the actuator just to see if it’s working properly. And it won’t rid fine, do I still have to calibrate it assuming I put it back just as it was when I took it off

[@alreyindustries]

In order to see if its working properly you have to move the gear in the actuator and your should check the turbo lever as well. So you have to move them both and I don’t think you’ll be able to get them back exactly where you took them off at. You could try it but I don’t want to recommend it.

Sir please can u share bs6 Cummins engine pdf???

[@SleepingWolfGaming]

Im trying to do the Hysteresis Test. But my coolant level while idling is taking forever to get to 158F. Is there a way to speed this process up to test the actuator?

[@alreyindustries]

Drive it

[@SleepingWolfGaming]

@@alreyindustries thank you for the quick reply

[@jayman6860]

Or just put your cruise control on to about 1500 rpms and let it warm up that way.

[@jay6.7powerstroke63]

Is this a HE351VE turbo?

[@GopiR7]

So i switched out 2 new turbo actuator and still wont so calibration so I installed it like that and worked for a day and now again giving me code

[@alreyindustries]

What is the code? Did you do both calibration procedures through Cummins insite?

[@transport21]

How do you use the tool to see what to diag first?

[@alreyindustries]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJCmqZKtn7uagJY I just made this video to show you. You need access to Cummins quickserve and then just follow these instructions.

[@Killshot305]

What size are the Allen bolts?

[@h22amonsterb18c]

5MM

[@Fazins]

So this looks like something the DIYer can't really do correct?

[@alreyindustries]

Yea, unless you are a pretty educated and handy diyer. Even so, you would need the Cummins software as well. I made this video more for the technician who is learning and has the resources but just needs a little guidance rather than for the diyer.

[@Fazins]

@Alrey Industries Top Tech Diesel I could handle the repair just fine but I lack the software to calibrate it. I'm not a "trained" mechanic and yet I found ur instructors to be extremely easy to follow. I have 3 and a half years of aircraft maintenance school under my belt, only needed about another year to get my A&P license. Appreciate the video, and I appreciate the reply.

[@sanjeevn2467]

What software your using to calibrate from your computer?

[@alreyindustries]

Cummins Insite

[@BenDover-bt1my]

Ahhh a Penske shop I see.

[@alreyindustries]

What do you see?

[@BenDover-bt1my]

@@alreyindustries Two things, lets see if you can spot them.

[@alreyindustries]

@@BenDover-bt1my 😂 I made the video I know whether it’s a Penske shop or not. I don’t have time to watch it again and see what you see. You can tell me what makes you think it is if you want.

[@BenDover-bt1my]

@@alreyindustries you tell me if I'm right or wrong and then I'll tell you the give aways.

[@alreyindustries]

@@BenDover-bt1my well Mr. Dover, I regret to inform you that I DO NOT work for Penske.

[@Last_of_my_breed]

Excellent video, although reinstalling the bad actuator...step by step was very clear !👍

[@jayman6860]

Very well explained on the installation procedure of a vgt. I was trying to explain this to a co worker who didnt know that you had to align the flap on the turbo to the mounting hole so when he did his first calibration and installation it came back as a failed actuator. When i aligned it for him the actuator and the turbo worked fine and hasn't had any issues. I think I'll show him your video as a guide.

[@SuperSolo67]

Great, luv the videos, keepem coming.

[@mobig2ls]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!

[@sethmyers8491]

Thanks for the video man it really helped me in a bind

[@smailbouadi5000]

😊

[@gcwilderness_education]

Would it be possible for me to drain the coolant and replace the VGT and then replace coolant and drive it somewhere and have them program it? Or does it have to be programmed before it’s installed?

[@alreyindustries]

Before it’s installed

[@alreyindustries]

Is it not driveable now? Could you drive it to wherever before installing the new one?

[@user-dieseldon]

So where's the diagnosis?

[@flaviovazquez4139]

Tks you saved me !

[@muay82thai]

Great video! Did the aftertreatment codes clear after replacing the actuator?

[@alreyindustries]

Yes
