Jennie Matthews If you’re running a 6.4L Power Stroke engine, you might be familiar with the dreaded P132B code. This often points to a problem with the turbo actuator, a critical component that controls boost pressure. But don’t worry, there’s good news! BorgWarner has released an updated actuator that addresses the common issues found in the original design.
What’s Wrong with the Old Actuator?
The original actuators used in 6.4L Powerstroke engines were prone to failure due to their plastic gears. These gears would often strip, rendering the actuator useless and leaving you with a frustrating check engine light.
The BorgWarner Solution
The updated actuator from BorgWarner features a more robust brushless motor, eliminating the problematic plastic gears. This new design promises increased durability and longevity, reducing the likelihood of actuator failure.
Simplified Cooling
Another improvement in the updated actuator is the removal of the water cooling system. While the original actuator relied on coolant for temperature regulation, the new design has eliminated this feature, simplifying installation and potentially reducing the risk of leaks.
Easy Installation
Replacing your old actuator with the updated version is a straightforward process. The installation involves a simple rerouting of a coolant line. You’ll need to remove the short, u-shaped coolant line and connect the remaining line to the reservoir.
