    How many miles on your ecodiesel and have you had any problems?

    12000 before it started idling roughly at times. It's been at the dealership 3 times, they have replaced my egr valve and egr cooler. It did not help. I really love the truck, but I'm starting to get really tired of this issue. Hope a fix is in the near future.

Just fyi do not wait more than 10-12k miles to replace the fuel filter. I only use very good quality diesel from the same station...

    Leaking oil filter housing after oil change

    It's my second oil change. I used all OEM parts, I made sure that the O-ring is seated right in the groove and not twisted, I also made sure to lubricate it with some fresh oil. It leaked a little bit after my first oil change, but it stopped after a couple of days. This time it seems to be a...

    Leaking oil filter housing after oil change

    Hello EcoDiesel owners! I have noticed that after changing my oil( done by me and done by the book and other helpful online videos) there is a leak right by the oil filter housing. I keep wiping it off and after a short drive, the oil is present again, as shown in the picture. Has anyone else...
