do a google search "glow plug removal tool", I saw some on amazon too, for under $100, just not sure how good they are.

I clean my injector every oil change, if not sooner, they crystalize up pretty quick. I just don't want to be throwing emission codes...

I live in canada, it can get really cold in the winter, I use the block heater all the time, keeps the coolant at around 80-86F (which is what the temp reads when I start it). Even if I don't plug it in, it starts fine, just sounds like crap if it's really cold and takes time warming up. I...

I usually get around 3500-4000 km for 1/3 of a tank, so 10-12,000 km per tank is a guess (maybe 7000 miles)? You'll last a while, usually top some up every oil change. It's good to try to run it low so you get a fresh new tank rather than keeping 3/4 tank of old DEF in the tank and topping...

Geneayers, so sorry to hear this happened to you, but I'm so glad you were able to get out of the truck in time without any harm to you, and so nice of the trucker to stop to try to help. This certainly isn't the first time this has happened to an ecodiesel. All these fire stories, I think...

are you talking about the egr cooler? ya, that is $$$$$$... I'm not sure, you have a 2014, I doubt you're still covered under warranty? If the egr cooler is the issue, and you're not covered, you have the option to buy an EGR delete kit (stage 2) and drop out the egr cooler, install the...

wow, thx for sharing signal27, there's been so much negativity about these trucks, it's really nice to hear some positive comments about it!

10L exactly, in Canada, Rotella T6 comes in 5L jugs, so two of those are perfect, the exact amount needed! No measuring, no left overs! That amounts to 10.5 Quarts.

I had stock for 3 years and that's the one thing I hated was the lag when I'd pull into traffic, hit the gas and wait 4 seconds before the truck would move, the AEM sounds very similar to the stock tune based on people's complaints about it. I switched to gde and now there's power when I need...

Makes me wonder if perhaps those who noticed a loss of power came from a tuned ecu to the AEM update, and perhaps those who didn't notice any change came from a stock ecu which was crap to begin with to AEM which likely performs about the same...:unsure:

so what you're saying is start praying now....🙏 🙏🙏 Now it's up to the powers that be...

do you think oil contamination (fuel dilution) possibly has anything to do with the bearing failure? I have GDE so just wondering if the cleaner oil (with less regens) should hopefully help reduce the risk of bearing failure (perhaps not eliminate it), but at least be less likely...

thx. is there any known cause of the bearing failure? Are there preventative things owners can do to reduce the likelihood of bearing failure?

anyone have a guestimate as to when oil coolers started to fail (after how many miles?), just so we can keep an eye...

if you really want gde, and you have a friend with an address in another state, you can probably have it delivered there... regardless of what you decide, you also have to look at the emission test in CA, and will you pass with a tune? What do they look at? Can they detect the tune? If you...

other information that should be asked before pointing fingers: #1, what was the mileage when the failure occurred? #2, what was the mileage when GDE was installed (in other words) how long was the truck driven with a stock tune (in self-destruct mode)? #3, what year is the truck? #4, what...

you'd have to find out if banks shuts off the egr. you also have SKT which is available in CA.

exactly!

Easiest way to tell is remove egr diffuser tube (4 bolts, 2 10mm, 2x8mm). The tip of it (inside the intake) is supposed to be dry black soot. If it's wet black soot, like tar, molasses, it's your egr cooler. That's how my dealer showed me in under 5 min. He said it's supposed to be dry, you...
