Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator for 1999 Ford F-250/F-350 (7.3L) - 24400

Fits 1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks equipped with the 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine.

Under high-boost conditions, the factory wastegate actuator's weak spring often allows the valve to blow off its seat prematurely. This exhaust leak softens boost in the mid-range and significantly reduces torque. The Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator solves this performance bottleneck by replacing the stock unit with a heavy-duty assembly designed for high-performance diesel applications.

Featuring twice the diaphragm area and spring pressure of the original equipment, the BigHead holds the wastegate closed longer to achieve higher peak boost sooner. Once peak boost is reached, it precisely controls the opening to maintain consistent pressure, delivering crisp acceleration and superior mid-range pulling power for towing and heavy hauling. Unlike "boost foolers" or bleed orifices that can complicate boost control, the BigHead provides a mechanical solution for reliable, repeatable performance.

• Increased Performance: Produces massive torque from low RPM and improves mid-range muscle.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Doubles the stock diaphragm area and spring pressure for maximum valve seating force.
• Precise Boost Control: Maintains peak boost levels for improved acceleration and towing efficiency.
• Direct Replacement: Designed to bolt into the factory location for 1999 models (typically those manufactured in 1998).
• MPN: 24400
