Banks Power 99-00 Dodge (All) / 01-02 245Hp Big Head Actuator Kit

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 Big Head Wastegate Actuator Kit, designed specifically for models from 1999 to 2002 equipped with the 5.9L Cummins engine. This high-performance replacement part addresses common issues caused by the stock actuator's weak spring, which under high-boost conditions allows the wastegate to open prematurely, limiting midrange torque and overall engine efficiency. The Banks BigHead actuator features a larger diaphragm and increased spring pressure, enabling quicker, more controlled boost build-up and higher peak boost levels. This results in crisper acceleration, improved mid-range pulling power, and superior top-end performance. The design ensures the wastegate remains seated longer, effectively preventing boost leaks and wastegate blow-open situations common with factory components. This upgrade is especially beneficial for those seeking to maximize turbo response and power output without compromising reliability. The kit is a direct replacement for OEM parts on select Dodge Ram models and offers a straightforward installation process. Built by Banks Power, a trusted name in diesel performance, the BigHead Wastegate Actuator Kit is engineered to enhance vehicle capability, providing more torque right from idle and improving overall driving dynamics. It is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts aiming for higher peak boost levels and better mid-range performance, ensuring their truck performs at its best under demanding conditions.
