I'm having trouble finding one of these other than from the aftermarket, and I've had too much bad luck with aftermarket connectors. Does anyone know of a quality connector for the VGT solenoid? I tried GM, and you have to buy an engine harness to get one. Thanks.
VGT solenoid pigtail connector

Try ford. It is the same connector as a 6.0 powerstroke vgt actuator. Pretty sure ford offers it separately.

I already tried because I actually need it for a Ford, but they only sell the version with the little plastic tabs on the side. I want the same style the Duramax uses with the steel wire. The plastic tabs always seem to break off when you try to remove them; I guess the heat from the turbine housing makes the plastic brittle.
Yeah they don't last. I keep some old 7.3L injector pigtails cut from valve cover gaskets to use in a pinch. They have the metal clip but no rubber seal.

Josh there's a website I have noted at work that sells just connector ends/pigtails I'll get it out of my toolbox and post it tomorrow
Josh, I believe the ipr valve on a 6.0 has the same plug but with the wire clip. Might wanna see if Ford has that one available. The 6.7 also uses the same vgt plug but they're plastic and always break as said earlier.
I tried that. They list the same part number for that connector as the VGT solenoid pigtail which is plastic.
