The aFe 46-60059 wastegate-control component is for the specified 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L turbo-diesel with the matching factory turbocharger; both automatic and manual transmission within the documented range application. The manufacturer's original release and independent exact-part descriptions identify the GT actuator as black-anodized CNC 6061 billet aluminum with threaded rod/end link and locking jam nut. The current exact product listing was not located, so current boxed housing revision is not independently confirmed from a current listing.

46-60059: The older exact 2012 own-part manual described 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L with automatic or manual transmission. The currently accessible manufacturer-hosted March 2014 sheet is shared with a different earlier actuator and prints 1999-2007 plus transmission-specific earlier coverage. That shared-family heading does not establish earlier-year fitment for this exact actuator: original 2003-2007 bounds remain unchanged. Exact own-part 5.9L named tables restore Ram 2500 SLT 2005 and Ram 3500 Laramie 2003-2007. Original Ram 2500 Laramie 2003 and the ST 2005 gap remain qualified source holds rather than deleting a positive legacy row or filling an unsupported named gap. No 6.7L/VGT or earlier turbocharger mapping is inferred.

| Component / engine | Pneumatic turbocharger wastegate actuator / 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L turbo-diesel with the matching factory turbocharger; both automatic and manual transmission within the documented range |
| Construction | The manufacturer's original release and independent exact-part descriptions identify the GT actuator as black-anodized CNC 6061 billet aluminum with threaded rod/end link and locking jam nut. The current exact product listing was not located, so current boxed housing revision is not independently confirmed from a current listing. |
| Connections | Match the actual hose barb and hose inside diameter to the boxed revision, seating and securing both signal-hose ends with the specified mini clamps. The actuator rod attaches to the original wastegate-arm pin using its retained E-clip. Do not force a 3/16-inch and 5/16-inch revision to interchange or substitute a different turbocharger's signal plumbing. |
| Fluid service | No fluid circuit is opened in the documented actuator-only installation. Verify exact boxed hose/hardware revision and obtain matching actuator calibration instructions before changing linkage settings. Check retained E-clip, locked jam nut, secure signal hose and free travel under the actual factory turbo/control requirements; no current boxed preset or universal pressure range is independently established. |
| Tightening | The exact manual provides no numerical mounting-nut or jam-nut torque. The 10 mm socket size is a tool dimension, not a tightening value. Use the actual turbocharger/vehicle and boxed-hardware instructions; no pipe-clamp, pan or radiator values are borrowed. |

The manufacturer's original release and independent exact-part descriptions identify the GT actuator as black-anodized CNC 6061 billet aluminum with threaded rod/end link and locking jam nut. The current exact product listing was not located, so current boxed housing revision is not independently confirmed from a current listing.

Which applications are supported?The older exact 2012 own-part manual described 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L with automatic or manual transmission. The currently accessible manufacturer-hosted March 2014 sheet is shared with a different earlier actuator and prints 1999-2007 plus transmission-specific earlier coverage. That shared-family heading does not establish earlier-year fitment for this exact actuator: original 2003-2007 bounds remain unchanged. Exact own-part 5.9L named tables restore Ram 2500 SLT 2005 and Ram 3500 Laramie 2003-2007. Original Ram 2500 Laramie 2003 and the ST 2005 gap remain qualified source holds rather than deleting a positive legacy row or filling an unsupported named gap. No 6.7L/VGT or earlier turbocharger mapping is inferred.
Which components and hardware are included?The manufacturer-hosted March 2014 shared sheet lists one actuator, two mini clamps, seven inches of 3/16-inch-ID hose, two M6 lockwashers and two M6 nuts. An older January 2012 exact sheet instead listed seven inches of 5/16-inch-ID hose and factory mounting hardware without those new M6 nuts/washers. Current boxed revision must establish which kit is present; these are alternative documented revisions, not a combined package. No air filter, intercooler coupler, turbocharger or controller is established as supplied.
Which pneumatic and linkage connections are required?Match the actual hose barb and hose inside diameter to the boxed revision, seating and securing both signal-hose ends with the specified mini clamps. The actuator rod attaches to the original wastegate-arm pin using its retained E-clip. Do not force a 3/16-inch and 5/16-inch revision to interchange or substitute a different turbocharger's signal plumbing.
What operation and fluid checks apply?No fluid circuit is opened in the documented actuator-only installation. Verify exact boxed hose/hardware revision and obtain matching actuator calibration instructions before changing linkage settings. Check retained E-clip, locked jam nut, secure signal hose and free travel under the actual factory turbo/control requirements; no current boxed preset or universal pressure range is independently established.
What tightening values apply?The exact manual provides no numerical mounting-nut or jam-nut torque. The 10 mm socket size is a tool dimension, not a tightening value. Use the actual turbocharger/vehicle and boxed-hardware instructions; no pipe-clamp, pan or radiator values are borrowed.
Which fitting, mount and access steps matter?The exact service sequence removes two mounting nuts, E-clip and original signal hose/clamps, removes the actuator, and mounts the matching replacement with either specified new hardware or retained factory hardware according to revision. No engine-oil, coolant or charge-pipe kit removal is part of this own-actuator sequence.
What clearance and recheck steps matter?Revision conflict: January 2012 exact sheet described six clockwise linkage turns from its starting point and a factory preset of 40 psi; March 2014 shared sheet describes one turn associated with approximately 40 psi. Do not combine those settings or select one merely from a shared part number. Both documents limit installation compressed air to 50 psi maximum. Actuator opening/service pressure is not a certified engine manifold-boost target. Cool fully and identify the exact turbocharger, actuator and boxed hose/hardware revision before removal. A qualified installer should remove the original nuts, retained E-clip and signal hose/clamps and remove the old actuator. Mount the matching replacement with revision-correct hardware, retain the original arm clip and fit the correct supplied hose and clamps to matching barbs. The accessible shared 2014 document and older exact 2012 document conflict on hose ID, mounting hardware and linkage-turn calibration, so resolve that revision before setting the linkage; no mixed six-turn/one-turn procedure is recommended. Follow the matching instructions for regulated air, never exceeding their 50 psi installation-air limit, secure the jam nut and E-clip, connect signal hose at the compressor housing and verify correct linkage/control operation. The race-only manual notice and absent current product listing remain explicit holds.
