    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    Here's the trade off, to reduce soot you increase NOx significantly. You may believe reducing soot is a good thing IMO I would rather have soot then pegging the NOx meter. Yes soot returned to Intake problematic, Soot to DPF with regular cycling will last decades, the downside is fuel use, If...

    Tuners can do it, or buy the BD ramp idle box.

    Regen

    Once Regen is started and Active it can be continue until completed. YOU must set the Parking Brake, Place vehicle in Neutral , Hold RPMS above a 1000 VIA Go pedal until completed. If it drops out of active Regen because the RPM were dropped below 1000 for more than 30 Seconds it cannot resume...

    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    I hope things go we'll for GDE, If combustion soot can be reduced that much the plenum will not need servicing until 100K+ miles. Current 3.0VM owners will have additional player in the Tuning world. I hate VM, Why Fait Bosch jump in bed with that company still baffle's Me. Billion's $ in...

    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    GDE, I see your point, You just cannot assume what driving habits owners have. Hmm I doubt YOU reduce Soot creation by 80% VS OEM, Soot formation would be at best a Guess , I would agree turning off the EGR will diffidently reduce soot intake 80%+ IMO. I have Stationary de-sooted My Eco up to...

    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    The distance on Regen not the best way to gage Health, The Material the DPF is made of can easily live at 2000F+ for 1000s of Active regens, I would rather have Regen occurring frequently. The only way to stop soot in Dsl is NOT to produce it. Dart driving creates soot while HWY driving reduces...

    Trouble free until today.

    Yep I would not return to that Place, I can only imagine the hack repairs that are commonly performed. Just another short coming of VM, Most modern day power plants have the technology/programing to jump from Crank to Cam sensor. in case of failure. That tone/reluctor ring can fail at any...

    Your not Done. I've unplugged that sensor at its pigtail and Was able to put the Vehicle in Neutral Knob/TC after steeping on the brake, maybe that was what the tow driver did not do. I don't put anything pass Dealers. Example: Dealer have replace the HPP/Injectors and the problem still...

    Blown engine at 50K

    It won't be 2020 Engine. Most likely Long Block. 2014-19 is no longer in production. Owners with truck produce during those years are stuck with LB. Another reason NOT to buy overseas Power Plants, If the engine is a Zero and pukes, local rebuilders will be rare.

    Yes if it needs to be towed again, without having the strap you will need a needle nose and pliers to engage the override manually

    John that would not explain the lock up shifter knob or TC. I'm assuming the Driver knew how to power up the truck Push button or Key.

    Another one bites the dust.....

    The Intake (Plenum) and if the Valves are cake Up or wrapped the heads need replacing. Your only choices are Tune/Sell or it will happen again. If you want GDE Tuning find a shop in CANADA that you trust, Maybe GDE has trusted shops in CA and Just pay the handling and ride Charges Back to USA...

    Its mostly the big harness under the dash. Its simple procedure to manually place the vehicle in (N) as john posted, The driver of the flatbed was NOT qualified to tow your vehicle, Its also unlikely any damage resulted in dragging it on to the Bed. ECM/PCM going Bad are equal to a Hurricane...
