Hearing good things about your tunes.

sorry PNW, I think you have an oil leak at the turbo. Whether it is the turbo or the turbo oil line I don't know.

claim approved - reflash scheduled for the 28th. Ask for the V08 recall when you call to schedule it.

like an empty bucket solves a roof leak

It is like the operating system for your truck. And don't ask the dealer which tune he prefers!

The diagnostic should have been free, as you say. Refer to the V08 recall. U07 was only some trucks with rotary dial trans problems. You can always call FCA customer service. You should put a tune on that truck then clean your MAP sensor to really make it much better for you.

I dont know, maybe someone who owns one can pipe in

the '17 and 18' models already have it as it is what they were sold with. It is not a ton different but some people say the '17 and '18 get lower mileage on the highway. They also have the same issues of EGR soot and the EGR cooler failures.

Boom! and bust....

If i was just starting out all over again with my truck I would have gotten the SFT combo.

This will cause you to do some research since I caught you flat footed. Most of us put a tune on our ECM to improve the operation of the engine. For example, Sofa King tune will improve your MPG, give you more power, and make your engine run better and with less repairs. You will read all...

I don't tow anything other than a utility trailer, and that only a few times a year with some straw in it. For that reason I did not do the trans tune. Sofa King does a two-fer engine and trans tune at a low price.

When I first got my truck I ordered my ECM from them. Then I just put the factory one in a box on the shelf. Don't be afraid of Sofa King, people like them. I have heard lots of problems with PPEI. I would avoid them for now. The biggest problem being customer service or lack of it. TC...

I doubt it. Its surprising the EGR / EGR cooler lasted that long (113k miles). The turbo is covered now under the ecodiesel settlement. Maybe you should seek reimbursement for both. You should put a Sofa King tune on that truck so the EGR does not trouble you again. Makes the truck much better.

It damned well should be. They should buy a few ad spots or something. Maybe I will start speaking only about Sofa King. Funnier name anyway!

Great truck but you better put a tune on it or you will find out more about the EGR valve, its cooler and the symptoms of their failure. Now that is a sad tale.

I would run it by a parts store and run a scan tool on it looking for any EGR codes, unless you have a box of your own. Get a paint thickness gauge for 10 bucks and run it around the body. Don't trust lying carfax. Other than that, they are good trucks. Plan to spend 750 on a tune. Crazy...

You can't make sure the old fluid is fully drained. You can only get 6 to 7 quarts unless you flush it. If you drain and replace the pan use the ZF lifeguard 8. Be careful where you buy it. Even if you buy it on ebay make sure the seller is an authorized stocking dealer of the fluid. Maybe...

people on this forum have all variants but i have the GDE tune with the keep your ECM option so I can do a swap, when needed. I got no options with mine. It improved my mileage about 3 mpg and gave me a lot less turbo lag. I recently drove a F-150 with the twin turbo 3.5 and was thinking it...

Welcome here! I would limit it down to GDE and Sofa King. The Sofa King has more grunt at throttle tip in but the GDE has more power in the higher revs. Both have good reviews. I keep my factory ECM so I can swap out for dealership visits. FCA should be happy I used the GDE tune - they...
