    Recently been having problem where truck loses complete acceleration, starts shaking & blowing white smoke. Towed to shop, changed gear fuel pump, Fuel shutoff solenoid. Test drove it for a while, hauled a load and next day started doing it again. Then changed turbo actuator & it’s been running fine, but is it normal for the actuator to be closing & opening in idle. Scared to put a load on it & have it break down again.

    They live longer if you use a turbine blanket that shields the heat off the actuator head...

    It can be changed. Do it soon or your turbo will seize
