Before you go changing out glow plugs, try moving the connector on the plug - twisting, push/pull, etc. Then reset the code and see if it comes back. All this does is ensure the electrical connection is good. I have had two separate glow plugs pop a code, I did this and the code never returned...

IMHO: The dealership does seem bear some responsibility in this due to their failure to investigate the truck prior to driving given the issue it was brought in for. How much would have to be decided - likely in court. I think an argument could be made that the engine was running when the...
I need to correct my previous post about turning off the EGR - This doesn't actually do what I thought it would. I just learned that it disables the EGR bypass valve so that all the hot exhaust doesn't get cooled, so it raises your Intake Air Temp. Turning off the cooler output temp sensor...
A better approach to soot reduction would be to Get an OBDLink MX+ adapter, Alfa OBD app, and a bypass cable for the OBD port and turn off the EGR and the EGR temp sensor. This will stop all exhaust gasses and soot from going in your new intake manifold.
Try this first: Wiggle the connoctor on the the glow plug, even pull it off and reinstall. I have had a couple different glow plugs pop this code, I did this and they went away. In my experience with my truck, many codes that pop up are more about a loose or tarnished connection or an ECU...
For the P200A code, you could remove the EGR tube and look inside your intake manifold with a flashlight (or a borescope) to see how much carbon you're dealing with. To get to the EGR tube, take off the decorative engine cover, disconnect the intake muffler from the air filter housing, and it's...
Likely, the body control computer has lost contact with a module. A module is something like cruise control, the shutters in front of the radiator, or intelligent battery sensor. Basically, check your battery voltage and ensure the battery connections are clean and secure. These...
Maybe try a bottle of the Hot Shot's EDT - availaible at Wal Mart, good for 8-16 doses. I keep fuel additives in the floor storage in the back seat area of my crew cab.
If I may offer some suggestions based on what I do in my truck (192k mi, original HPFP)...
- Oil change @ 7k mi with 8qts Rotella T6 5w-40 (spec) with 2 qts Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer
~ The extra oil film thickness outweighs the additive dilution, you will see a minor MPG loss .5 to 1...
The AD is an earlier version of the 2nd gen engine, around 2014-2015. Your AF engine is a later engine with a couple slight revisions to it. Overall, interchangeable within the 2014-2019 family. One notable difference is the oil capacity - early AD took 8.5 quarts of 5w-30, instead of 10.5 of...
If you haven't already, check the dipstick for the "forbidden glitter". If oil level and appearance are good, check the electrical connections/fuse for the oil pressure sensor. The numbers on the dash display are merely a calculation of what the oil pressure should be according to RPM, load...
I considered that, and while you are right about it being a much more common leak, the OP said the truck has gone through 2 gallons in 1700 miles. When the turbo coolant tube failed on my truck, it was dripping from the bell housing with much less coolant loss. Plus, somebody already mentioned...
