Importapart - guy is on Youtube as "IdoCars", really easy to work with - and stands behind what he sells. He did a teardown on one of our Ecodiesels a while back before he knew what causes their failures. He has access to get more if necessary.

I'm just curious - my dead after 10-weeks Lone Star is now 3 months disabled. The new mechanic I have working on it is fairly confident I have a tone ring failure (like many of you also thought). I've placed 8 orders for them, every time they're cancelled because their websites are out of date...

Pushbutton or keyfob ignition? If keyfob, when you turn to "Start" and let go so it rebounds back to the "run" position, does it still keep cranking away until you manually turn it back to "off" ?? I've run into that issue, and most are suggesting the tone ring failed.

Two small updates : 1. I submitted my information to RamCare - trying to detail as much as possible to them about 5 days ago. Tuesday morning I received two replies stating that they opened up a claim case and are investigating the dealership I took my truck to. I basically told them I just...

So, I've been reading around here and several other forums, and in all honesty it really sounds like I may have a delaminated tone ring. That is going to *seriously* piss me off because the dealer carpet bombed a repair that had nothing to do with anything I experienced. From what I understand...

You know, that's what I thought too. My original one did, my new one doesn't. This is after they changed the PDC too which if I'm not mistaken includes the integrated fuel pump relay. I wrote FCA yesterday and informed them of the practices of said dealership and what I've doled out so far, and...

107k - right about where the failure interval is. When I brought it in there, I requested that they run my VIN against the recall database, and do a history on what's been done on this truck since I recently purchased it. According to them all recall work was done aside from the upcoming HP Fuel...

Doesn't that typically throw you a crank position sensor code?

I'll be cracking open the the drain and the line heading towards the HP Fuel pump, and anywhere else down the circuit systematically to ensure flow. They were adamant that I have a clog somewhere. I was adamant that the day it died, I drove it to work perfectly fine at highway speeds with no...

My truck went in back in December, some of you may have seen that thread. I took it in because I no longer heard the electric pump or what I thought was the electric pump in the back make what I thought was typical electric pump noises. I thought I had a fuel delivery issue. It'd crank like a...

Can't wait to hear how this one turns out - mine's in the driveway with a similar issue after dropping 5,400 on both pumps, the fuel filter housing/heater/filter, the TIPM, and battery. It'll crank all day long til I key it off, but no pop-off. Did I mention I just made the 4th payment on this...

I'd like to see that - what's the timeframe of that going national?

Next year's model is getting the Straight-6 Hurricane engine. In all honesty, it's a smart move. Thanks to the EPA clearly proving it has no clue how diesel engines work, the diesel engine's days are numbered being deliberately poisoned with EGR valves. I bought mine back in September, and in...

Latest update : I cannot get the dealership to confirm or deny power to the pump - they seemingly ignore me telling them that I had removed the fuel pump relay bypass wire before it was sent over there (something I specifically, and repeatedly told them so they can find the fault and fix that as...

Small update : The fuel pump, filter housing, and filter were changed to the tune of $3,000+ dollars. They told me just before New Years that it didn't solve the problem. They have yet to confirm if power is even getting to the pump since I took off the fuel pump relay bypass before taking it...

I think it was another thread on these forums, but it was confirmed that GM owns 50% of VM Motari, and their logo was on the oil caps. The 2.8L Duramax is their collab engine too. The thing I find a little strange is these engines on the other side of the pond supposedly don't have the multitude...

The failure is generally caused by the EGR system sending soot down the intake, which will eventually clog up the runners, work its way down to the cylinders, score the walls, get down into your oil pan, clog up the main bearings, and seize up the engine. This is what happens when idiots with...

I damn-near had a heart-attack just now. I finally received word from the dealer about what's going on with my truck - they've had it for 2 weeks now. This is what they dropped on me : Our technician was able to identify the concerns with your check engine light. We were able to duplicate the...

I was told 5 month backorder on the parts - mine's in for something else so I told them to just add me to the list.

I was told at the dealer today that the HPFP is part of a newly issued recall this year - may want to inquire about that before they stick you for 18-hundo. From what they told me, the parts are a 5-month backorder though so it might be a while.
