Welcome aboard. Is it not covered by warranty? If not, do what carlhenry says and get yourself a tune that deletes it. It'll be cheaper and make the truck run better/cleaner.

Thanks for posting @2017Texas. I am in the same boat as you. Been waiting to get the EGR recall done (on a list for 4 months now). Once done, the SFT tune is what I'm looking at.

Anyone have a link to the verbiage of this recall?

Give a good look-see around the oil filter to see if you knocked a hose loose or broke something while changing it. Also, just to confirm, what oil did you use?

For the 2018, you'll need a bypass cable as well.

Welcome, I love mine!

It should be under warranty so call the dealer and let them have at it.

Congrats!

I agree with John. I just can't see how they can keep your truck. Tell them if they don't release it, you'll call the police and report it as stolen.

Congrats! Enjoy your new ride, whatever it may be.

I think the main reason that the EcoD has the limits it does, is because of the inferior cooling system, and it will capably haul more, but you have to be careful with long uphills so you don't overheat it. The new 2020 EcoD does have a little more HP/TQ, but it's got a much better cooling...

Great to hear! I've been perusing tows and wasn't sure what I should be using as a max dry weight. Apparently 6950 is good.

You tune the ECM. Better hurry though as the EPA is shutting down some of the tune companies. Check out https://www.sofakingtuned.com/ecodiesel.html#/ as I think they are still operating. There's another company "Green Diesel Engineering" that does it, but it appears that they have been shut...

Welcome aboard eh' :-) Lots of good info here. Good looking 5er, how's it pull? What's the dry weight on that baby.

Safe answer....

The 2020 EcoD looks like the new gen motor has addressed a few problems and upped the power. Might be worth a look.

Congrats! Keep an eye on fluids, especially the coolant. If it starts to drop, then probably a bad EGR cooler, as they are notorious on these trucks. Consider getting a tune for it and enjoy driving it. Welcome to the forum.

If it's like my first date then he's gonna get screwed...... :p

Sounds like a CV joint going south to me.

Good luck...
