Hello everyone. I have a 2012 2500 4X4 mega cab with a 6.7 cummins. It's got 210000 miles on it. I had it deleted. Problem one, computer says my turbo is going out. Had it checked with snap on computer and it appears to be the actuator. Anyone's opinion on replacing both turbo and actuator or just actuator would be welcome, also is there a certain brand of turbo I should look at or stay away from? Problem two, Blower blows but I don't hardly feel the air coming out the vents. I don't have a filter behind glove box, any thoughts here would be great also. Thank You in advance

Can you get "just" the actuator??? Unfortunately, diesels are not something I know a lot about.

Welcome to DF. Moving to 4th Gen Ram section for ya.

I don't have any input on the turbo and actuator, but have you checked to see if air is flowing from any of the vents (defrost, floor, dash)? If you're not getting much air flow from anywhere and you can tell the blower is blowing and adjusting in speed with the fan control, I'd suggest pulling the blower to see if a rodent has made a nest in the squirrel cage or if maybe it sucked up some napkins from your glove box.

PS - I like the wheel and tire choice. That's a pretty nice looking truck!
