Has anyone else tried this and what worked best. Yes including removing DPF and CAT filter...
Sorry but it is just you, there is no conspiracy to flash your ECM.
Also, your ECM does not need to be updated for the new HPFP pump although they would quite likely check that your vehicle has the latest software, much like any IT person working on any computer.
Thank you for that info, definitely food for thought! I have seen the braided hose you are talking about and it looks like a high quality piece that will give years of service!
I had it done at the local dealer. The total cost was $1700.00 I believe.
The only other thing I really worry about is the coolant line under the intake manifold. I may get an estimate on that too.
When my 8 year warranty was up on the tone wheel I just paid to have it done, along with a new crank shaft positioning sensor and rear main seal just because. I kinda considered it just insurance/maintenance as my truck has been 100% trouble free and I thought it was better than losing it on a trip!
Many are happy with their purchase! I have a 2015 bought new and have never had a problem. I am fussy about oil changes and maintenance (what else can you do?) Mine only has 71000 on it and I expect to drive it quite some time or until my needs change!
I kinda don't understand, it sounds like your engine was toasted anyway. It doesn't sound like you would have gotten far from the dealer whether you had magnets or not?
There is really no definitive answer that I have read.... possible causes are everything from too much soot in the oil. plugged oil passages, poor quality control at the factory, harmonic oscillation of the crank, too small of bearings, and wrong viscosity of oil. To my knowledge none of those...
