Product Description
Stop the CEL when you swap turbos on your 2004.5–2007 5.9L Cummins. The INDUSTRIAL INJECTION 1453240 Wastegate Fooler is a simple plug-in solution that simulates the factory electronic wastegate/air control valve signal so you can unplug the OE actuator during aftermarket turbo installs—no more nuisance check-engine lights and proper boost control logic restored.
Fitment
- 2004.5–2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins (HE351CW electronic wastegate trucks)
What’s Included
- (1) Industrial Injection electronic wastegate fooler module/harness
Why It’s Needed
- Aftermarket turbo installs often require unplugging the factory electronic wastegate/air control valve; when left unplugged, the truck will set a DTC/CEL. This fooler plugs in to prevent the fault and keep the truck happy with your new turbo.

FAQ
Will this fix the check-engine light after I unplug the factory actuator?Yes. It’s designed to simulate the OE signal so the ECU doesn’t set a fault when the factory electronic wastegate/air control valve is unplugged during aftermarket turbo installs.
Is any tuning required?No tuning is typically required just to eliminate the actuator code. Follow your turbo kit’s instructions for any additional calibration needs.
Does it change boost levels by itself?No. It prevents faults; it doesn’t directly “turn up” boost. Use a proper wastegate control solution or tune to adjust boost targets.
Will it work with my HE351CW turbo swap?Yes—this is targeted specifically at 2004.5–2007 5.9L Cummins trucks equipped with the HE351CW electronic wastegate system.
