Sorry I’m not on here constantly.. I drive like a normal/ older person most of the time. I baby the truck and drive on the freeway frequently at 70+ for long periods of time. I’m in no way “driving a certain way” to make these things happen. Also, 15k miles? Talk to me after 100k and we will...
Update on this post.
Got my truck back after about 3 months at the dealer and a complete fuel system rebuild. drove about 200~ miles and CEL popped back up. Read the codes and determined it was the DPF sensor. Luckily I was able to talk the dealer in to taking it in on short notice and they...
Exactly how I feel. What they are doing for me is installing one of the recalled fuel pumps as a Band-Aid and then they say they will install the remanufactured, new pump when they come out. I have called almost every day for a month and a half now to get that process going. Mine died taking my...
Thanks for all who responded. I just talked to the dealer today and he told me they have ordered ~12k worth of parts to fix my truck due to catastrophic fuel pump failure with metal shavings in the lines. Requiring a complete rebuild of the fuel system. Working on getting a rental now under...
I’m not sure what you mean by 1/2 diesel (saw the edit, I understand now lol) but I have considered selling it many times. Although at this point they have replaced so many parts that I feel like I almost have a reliable truck again. The fuel system was my last major concern and it sounds like...
Thank you for the suggestion. I have a couple thousand miles left on my emissions warranty and plan on doing just that once I’m out of warranty. If I did go that route, I wonder, would I potentially have any issues with recall items down the road if my vehicle has been “modified”?
I have a 2016 ecodiesel I purchased with 60k on it back in 2018. When the truck runs it’s great and I actually have quite a few miles on it at this point, but that has not been without what seems like an endless string of repairs and months of being without my vehicle and countless hours of...
Just happened across this because I was curious if others had not received the second payment like myself. I am also still waiting for the additional 600$ and basically have gotten the same response when I call. Getting pretty frustrating.
Awesome thanks for the quick response. What glow plug kit did you purchase? The ones that seem to look the same (Not sure if quality differs) are all around 60$ from what I can see.
Also, Did you end up pulling the electrode? Or did you drill through it?
I appreciate the offer to guide me...
Wow good job taking that project on. I hope to not have to get to that point myself, but it’s good to know it’s possible with the right skills.
The main Question I have for you would be, how did the electrode puller work for you? I feel like where it’s at if I can just get that part Out I...
Yeah it’s actually broken. Broke off right above the thread. The electrode won’t pull out. I figured if I could pull it out I could get the sleeve out with an easy out. The plug (sleeve) is almost out but not quite there. I have replaced 3 myself thus without any issues, and this one (#4) was...
Unfortunately I called about every shop in my area (Spokane, WA) and they all said they will not/can not remove one. I found that odd since It seems like this is a common occurrence for diesels in general. Dealer wanted 4,000$ to replace the head so I would rather at least attempt it myself...
Hello,
I’m looking for any recommendations on a glow plug remover/extractor that any of you may have had experience with. I’m looking for something More high end , geared more toward the eco diesel if that exists (or is even necessary). I’m working on plug #4. It looks like the kits on amazon...
Had a glow plug go out recently and figured I would post a couple pictures of what the old one looked like when I pulled it out. Read the code for glow plug number three. Had to remove the airbox and EGR diffuser tube. Cleaned the tube thoroughly, as much as possible. Then pulled the plug on top...
