Another Dead Turbo Actuator

[SnoKing]

Any thoughts on EB usage and actuator failure?

My truck has 83k and I have used my EB at every start. My Sons truck failed at around 130k and he only used his while towing his dump trailer.

Injuring minds......

I would like to inquire about your injured mind?

I have used my EB at every start.

I do also, but more to save on service brakes , I never had to put a set of pads on my 04 in the 100k miles I drove it, maybe the new owner will..

100K???
Ha! That's nothing, my truck went over 500K on the original brakes!

HAAAA, too funny!

So far no issues driving truck as CEL comes on and off. My friend has been running his 13 DRW for a month now waiting on a City Diesel actuator.

YES I could use the Harley if I had to, I like to keep it for fun usage.

Looks like my Actuator is on the way out with just under 83,000 miles. Start truck and all is good, hit TH and EB as usual. Drive a few miles and let off and almost stop and the check engine light came on then parked truck. This happened a couple times. Today same thing but i kept driving and noticed the EB was not coming on and my boost at full throttle was mid way on the gauge.

Stoped by the Dealer in Cathedral City, CA and they said it will be two weeks for a rental car to be available. So once it's in they will schedule me in. They have a GREAT Mechanic that does every bit of work on any Diesel that comes in.

So I hope i can get by for a couple weeks. Happy this is happening while under warranty!!!

Well that is sort of great news.....for me! I'm in Rancho Mirage and have had pretty much zero luck in finding anyone competent in the area!

Update !!!

Dropped the LongHorn at Crystal Chrysler in Cathedral City, CA last Tuesday. They gave me a nice Jeep Compass to drive. Told the Service Mgr to take his time as I know sometimes they need to fit someone in. Received a message today the actuator replacement was approved and should be done by Friday along with a few smalls that are being covered under my 7/100 Zero deductible warranty.

Cool thing is every single Diesel that comes in goes to their "Diesel Guy" no matter if it's Diesel related or not. He has been their Diesel Mechanic for around 18 years. He knows his chitz.

REALLY happy it went while under warranty.

Sounds good, hope you like the Compass as much as I did. It's a nice little Car.

it’s a Mini Me of our 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

interesting thing is our GC get’s the same mileage.

Three weeks and three days later my loved RAM is back in the corral. Actuator, TH switch, Light under back seat, sealed third brake light, crimped door seal, seat belt retractor and three tire sensors. Bill to Chrysler was $4,900 and my rental was covered for the whole time.

Seems like a long tome, yes but I told them to take their time as I know they may need to help someone out that doesn't have time to wait.

I have had GREAT service from Crystal Chrysler in Cathedral City, CA this and a couple other times. Alex the service assistant mgr along with Mike their Diesel Mechanic you can't go wrong.

A friend is dropping his 13 off Tuesday for warranty work along with the 150k valve adjustment.

MaxCare, guess mine paid off. I still have 17k and 10 months left on the MaxCare.

Confirmed my Acutator is shot, got lots of small burned components inside. 141K. CityDiesel is somewhere between 2 weeks and 6 weeks wait time. Thinking I'm going to have to put it back together before I get the replacement. Is there a certain location I should adjust the turbo to when reassembling with the burned out module? Just had to happen right as boating season is starting.....and my crosstrek won't pull the boat.

How much for a City Diesel actuator now a days?

 

[EDankievitch]

City has a two year warranty. Reach out to Jayson an he will make it right.

IF your refering to mine its the stock unit. I'm on the wait list for a city diesel unit.

700 or 895 depending on if you want the whole assemble or just the electronics half.

 

[EDankievitch]

Sorry confused you with another member that had an issue with a city unit. I’ve been very happy with my city unit.

Finally got my CityDiesel actuator in (Much quicker than I expected). Instant gratification, Installed the new unit, started my truck and no more error light. Truck runs as good or better than new. They really got a perfect replacement piece.

Good deal!
Glad City Diesel has finally got some inventory back again.

My Actuator went out on me as well. I just replaced the turbo. Then shortly after my thermostat went out. So this month I have replaced both. Now she runs great.
