agreed, he does give a discount if you pay cash, but it's a long drive down for ya! I drove down from ontario, the tune was $50 off, and the cash discount so that was a huge savings with the exchange rate...
ya, as long as you're not in californazi state, you'll enjoy GDE. I'm happy with it so far, they've been around for several years and have a good reputation, they do a lot of testing on the ecodiesel trucks so I trust their tune. I wish I got the transmission tune too, but might be next year's...
agree with carlhenry, I removed my form and engine cover as a preventative measure. Question still is, what is causing the ignition of the fire in the first place... The foam only makes the fire worse... but it would be good to know what is causing so many fires.
if you read around the forum, the egr cooler leak is VERY VERY common on these trucks. most of us had them replaced already due to leaking that you can't detect other than the coolant dropping with no signs of any leakage.
Highly doubt it's the head gasket but I don't know for sure. if...
Tyrone, keep us posted with your findings. There have been several fires reported, here's just a few... Is it an EGR stuck open, overheating the system? Is it a battery wire rubbing up against metal? It would be nice to know the cause so we can be proactive where possible and prevent it from...
yup, it's spitting coolant into the intake, into the engine, and probably seaping into your oil too, that's not good..
that's what mine was looking like when my mechanic took it off and showed me. he ordered me a new cooler and it's been good since, until this one starts to leak too... then...
All you will see is gooey soot, kinda like the tar you spread on your driveway. If it's DRY soot, you're egr cooler is likely NOT leaking, but if you touch the tip of the diffuser tube with a screwdriver and it's gooey, wet, sticky, black, your egr cooler is leaking into your intake, NOT good...
No, you need to be running DEF, UNLESS you're tuned so that the system doesn't know if it's def or water.. If you're not tuned, the computer will start throwing codes. also depends if you live in a warm climate or cold, don't forget water freezes...
Follow the exhaust pipe from the motor, the...
Getting close.... Anyone gonna order the 2020 ecodiesel?

sweet ride!
get your truck tuned asap while it's still got an internally clean engine, it's best thing you can do for the longevity of this truck. what kind of emission testing do they do in denver? how intense is it? is it the ol sniffer tests or obdii check engine test or more than that?
wow... hey, if you can get a new engine under warantee, may as well do it! as for the lines? I know when I look under my truck, there's a bunch of lines at the back of the engine way up, maybe that's the turbo lines, but mine are starting to rust... I tried cleaning them a bit and tried to...
you don't need any chemicals, just steam. you'll be amazed at how much crystallization there is on the def injector, and how clean it comes out!
I bet if you had a def related issue, and brought it to the dealer, they'd charge you to drop the def tank, empty it out, purge the lines, refill...
you want something that you can focus the steam and blow a nice clean shot of steam at it. If it's just a puff cloud of steam, I don't know if it'll do the job? Anyone else able to chime in here??
or this one should work too, if you don't want a floor cleaner...

probably, that might be a little big.
I have something that is a hardwood floor cleaner / steamer, but it comes with a bunch of other attachments, more like this one, the top nozzle attachment on this link is great cause you can direct the steam right at the injector and in 3 seconds it's...
