Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator Kit for 1999-2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins

Under high-boost conditions, the stock actuator's weak spring allows the wastegate to blow open, limiting midrange torque. Bleed orifices (also known as "boost foolers") just make it worse. Only Banks solves this problem by replacing the boost actuator. BigHead holds the wastegate closed for quicker boost, then controls the opening to maintain peak boost for superior acceleration and mid-range pulling power. Banks exclusive BigHead wastegate actuator prevents wastegate blow-open by keeping the valve seated at higher pressures, increasing mid-range torque and top-end power. Key Features: Quick, Controlled Boost. Produces massive torque right from idle. Doubles stock's diaphragm area and spring pressure. Keeps the valve seated longer achieving higher peak boost, sooner. Crisp acceleration and more mid-range pulling power. BigHead Actuator, BigHead Wastegate Actuator Kit for 1999-2000 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins, (All), and 2001-2002 (245hp), Manual Transmission E.O. Not Required. For Replacement Parts Only. Does not fit 04.5-07 Cummins 325/600 engine.

• For higher peak boost, sooner
• More Mid Range Muscle

Upgrade your Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 with the Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator Kit, designed specifically for models from 1999 to 2002 with 5.9L Cummins engines. This high-performance replacement component addresses the common issue of wastegate blow-open under high-boost conditions caused by stock actuator springs. By replacing the factory actuator, the BigHead kit ensures the wastegate stays closed longer, allowing for quicker and more controlled boost build-up. This results in increased mid-range torque and improved top-end power, delivering a notable boost in acceleration and pulling power right from idle. The design doubles the stock diaphragm area and spring pressure, maintaining higher pressure levels to keep the wastegate valve seated at elevated boost pressures, which optimizes engine performance. The kit is engineered for quick installation, providing immediate benefits in power delivery and throttle response. It is an ideal upgrade for those seeking to maximize their truck’s performance without extensive modifications. Please note, this product is not compliant with CARB regulations and is intended primarily for replacement purposes. It does not fit the 2004.5-2007 Cummins 325/600 engines. The BigHead Wastegate Actuator Kit enhances peak boost levels sooner, resulting in more mid-range muscle and overall improved engine efficiency. Designed for manual transmission models, this kit is a reliable and effective solution for serious performance enthusiasts looking to elevate their Dodge Ram’s capabilities.
