Review on πŸš€ High-Performance Garrett VGT Solenoid for 03-07 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L: Boost Your Engine's Efficiency by William Byrd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't use aftermarket junk! Live and learn

Don't do what I did. ordered at a low 1/3 retrofit price which failed immediately. Then I bought the correct replacement part, the original Garrett. Ford wants $475 for this part from Garrett FYI. You'll also notice that Garrett improved the solenoid by adding a stainless steel shield to keep dirt out. The aftermarket was like the old original without it. No more parts for my 6.0. no rush! . Assembly. Soak the solenoid in a can of engine oil for 1 minute, apply a light coat of nickel anti-seize to the 8mm bolt, install a new bracket and torque the bolt to 18 ft-lbs.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Useless features
