I would think long and hard before buying one of these. They have more than their fair share of engine problems and nothing is inexpensive to repair nowadays. My 2016 has 66K and was deleted and tuned as sone as I could. So far everything is ok but your always wondering if today is going to be...
What I did was I bought the oil filler cap and oil filter cap assemblies from them. I all ready had the oil filter housing bracket from Amsoil. Then I used a large Amsoil filter that holds over a quart of oil along with a deep oil pan that holds another two quarts of extra oil. The truck now...
I had a surprisingly easy time taking out two of the 8mm bolts holding the lower egr tube to the turbo from the top. However the last bolt has been fighting me the whole day. It’s the top of the V bolt pattern on the driver side. Is this the one that has to be taken out from under the truck? I...
I ended up cutting off the small thin metal bracket that the T40 was attached to. It took all of 20 seconds to cut it off after I spent 2-3 hours trying it the right way. After taking it off I turned it over and the T40 was almost striped out. I never would have gotten it out with the correct...
I just received my complete delete kit from HD Diesel. I went with the downloading option instead of sending in the ECU. Kit includes EGR delete, reprogramming and the DEF delete. So far it’s going smooth except for the removing of that darn T40 bolt in the back of the EGR cooler. Anyone have...
After pouring over the large amount of problems including fires, egr problems, oilcooler delete, etc; it’s easy to get stuck into thinking that these trucks are a candidate for the Lemon Law. My question is, I wonder how many stock Ecodiesel trucks are out there and never have any of these...
I was thinking of doing an oil bypass on my truck also. I came across two different AMSOIL kits. On is a spin on filter cf6 bf6. The other is a drop in in filter cf8 bf8. Does anyone know the significance of the numbering system? Also any thoughts on which is best, spin on or drop in filter?
I just bought my truck (2016 Laramie) used with 60K on it. It’s the most comfortable truck that I’ve ever owned. I’ve had other brands of diesel trucks for many years. I researched these Ecodiesel trucks well before my purchase. IMHO every diesel truck I’ve had require more maintenance than...
I used Diesel Service brand Diesel Kleen in my old GM 6.5 diesels for many years. I’m not sure about any mileage increase but I could hear the difference in the noise level coming from the engine. With the ultra low sulfur diesel that we have here I’m putting it in the eco if for nothing else to...
