Applications
This turbo actuator is suitable for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles powered by Cummins X12 and X15 engines built between 2020 and 2026. It’s commonly used in long-haul tractors, regional freight rigs, vocational trucks, and other platforms where responsive turbo behavior contributes to controlled engine operation.

Installation Notes
Before servicing, allow the engine to cool and disconnect the battery to prevent electrical hazards. Remove any necessary engine covers, then disconnect the actuator’s electrical connector and mounting hardware. Inspect the turbocharger linkage and connectors for signs of wear or contamination. Install the replacement actuator using the correct fasteners, reconnect the electrical harness, and reassemble any removed components. After installation, clear stored fault codes and verify proper boost response with a test run or diagnostic check.
