I tried doing that on my old 6.5 GMC once, it didn't run well on that tank. Took a couple tanks to clear out deposits and run same as before. Later, I played around with 2 stroke oil and settled on 1oz/10gal. Any more wouldn't quite run right.
Just a WAG, but a boost leak would make sense for the turbo to overspeed and possibly cause the first "grenade". Then, if not fixed, cause what you're experiencing with the new one. Another possibility is the new turbo isn't getting adequate oil or coolant supply - issue with those tubes such...
Just a guess here but check the throttle butterfly on the front of the intake manifold. If it's not opening up properly, restricting flow of fresh air, that will cause a greater draw from the EGR. Also, check the electrical connectors to it.
Where I'm at, they only test opacity. As long as the DPF keeps doing its job, I'll pass - even with the tune and the restrictor installed. It only takes about 10 min to put in. To your point, I suppose having the EGR off would be better, but that would require contacting SFT...
I've been using a very inexpensive MacGuyver restrictor (SFT stage 1 w/ EGR on - have to pass emissions still): 1 Ace Hardware 1" basket strainer (p/n: 40291 on plumbing/sink aisle), and a flat washer from their small hardware aisle (P/N: UCU - washer covers the entire bottom of strainer with...
Mine blew last year, I had the 1-piece line with braided hose put in. Moving the oil line out of the way was the big problem. They had to lift the cab off to get to the lower oil line banjo bolt so they had access to the upper coolant banjo bolt. It was expensive! If you can figure out an...
I just looked up your starter on Rockauto.com. They have a new Bosch (p/n: SR6534N, w/o start/stop feature) for about $95. The MOPAR starter was over $400.
From what I've seen/heard, that length drive is in the normal range for a DPF regen. If you're not already, putting one of the diesel additives in the fuel helps with improving combustion thus reducing soot, increasing regen intervals and reducing regen time. In no particular order, some...
Actually, I didn't know that. My truck is a 2015 and the filter element is removed from the cap for replacement and the cap reused.
I agree, sounds like just a filter issue - defect of some sort.
I would definitely get a second opinion on that. While head gasket is possible, there are other things that are much more likely to be the cause. I agree, the EGR cooler is a common failure point. One thing I noticed on my truck (also a 2015) is that the level in the coolant reservior, does...
Well, since the GM dealer is footing the bill, let the Dodge dealer make sure all is good and enjoy! Frankly, as long as you don't have to pass emissions for registration, the delete will improve engine life, MPG, and power.
Two possible situations come to mind:
1 - The truck sat for a while at the lot and seals/gaskets got dried out.
2 - The dealership is "milking" you.
Please don't flame me for saying #2. The simple fact is that some do it and some don't. I don't know if your dealer does or doesn't.
My...
