Mine would go a few days without throwing them, longest was a month. I’d check over the wiring and see if you see anything out of the normal. Unless the glowplug out of the box was bad or the connection on the glowplug itself is sloppy and not making good contact
Sorry to hear it man! I too have thought about switching, but if I do it I’m going back in time to the 2000 model stuff where technology is simple and the kinks are worked out.
If it was in a flood, most likely the compressor got water in it and rusted into a seized state. If it was a leak, I feel as if it would be audible but I do not have air ride on mine so I can’t try that theory lol a few members have had compressor issues due to it being an open system and...
I had this code after upsizing my tires. In my research I found catch cans seemed to be the main cause of the code. But I don’t have a can do I started retracing what the hell would cause it all the sudden. The only thing I kept coming back to was the damn tires. I noticed especially when...
Tunes are available from a few places, sofaking tuned, hd diesel, and I think there’s two more that turn the egr off. If you have a computer it’s a fairly straight forward process.
As far as oil changes, 6-8k is as far as you want to go between changes. Fuel filters are 10-15k
I bought mine...
I would suggest taking it to a diesel mechanic or trying to figure out If in fact you are losing fuel pressure first. If fuel pressure is ok, I would check compression
Welcome! It’s only a mistake if you think of it as one. If you maintain the engine properly, change your fuel filter with your oil change, drive the truck on long trips(stop and go is terrible for these), and for the love of god look into a tune to allow for the egr to stop functioning, then the...
Welcome! Just keep an eye on your coolant level, that will indicate if you start to have egr issues. Many people run different additives, it’s really just personal preference in my opinion.
As far as I know, gde does not remove egr functionality but they do or will offer a touch screen tuner for storing tune on file and reverting back. Speaking of which I need to see if Jimmy at SKT can put my engine and trans tunes on one handheld now!
Thanks tc.
My local dealer told me flat out that the techs are about 5-10 years behind on the technology and gadget troubleshooting. Basically they release new stuff every year on these vehicles and the techs don’t have time for training so they learn on the fly. If it’s acting up they replace...
