If yours is oil though typical it'd be oil through intake or exhaust, you have external so more inclined to look at drain line, grommet, or Feed lines/banjo fittings and seals. Similar to a brake line to caliper.

Well for me it was implausible toque codes and some others. I thought maybe vgt actuator so ordered a salvage one, sucky job laying across the engine working at the firewall but you can remove an e clip and move the vane actuator linkage rod. Mind only moved .25-.5 inch rather than inch and a...

End of the road? Sure you could treat it as a throw away but problems are most all solvable. Emissions intact you could have soot from an intake leak, but yes Turbo oil Supply or even seal on drain Tube are plenty likely. Transmission removal to repair or listen to the book and lift the cab...

Yep there's recall for hardware replacement on tone wheel failure that should still be open even with aem update. W58 I believe. You've got tone wheel/reluctor Ring delamination or cracked, it's behind the flex plate around the rear main so transmission removal and a 45$ part. Unless you...

You need to document the codes not just clear them. They tell the story, at your mileage you're due to experience things like a seized Turbo. Gets the implausible torque code. $$

I'd assume these run an idle air control valve like any tbi but I'm not 100%. In my shitbox Days that would be the go to for your typically stuttery/stall at idle. Yours being only in gear though there's a chance your torque converter is failing and losing it's stall point for disengagement. Is...

Is there an actual problem, ie stalling while on brakes in gear? Or are you just bothered by the idle rpms you're seeing?

My experience, failed Turbo. You can remove the intake pipe and Access the actuator below the firewall, remove the e clip on the linkage rod and manually move it, there should be 1.5" or so of travel. Only about 1/2" was my experience, and after removal the turbine was in fact seized. There's a...

Late, but under the firewall side of the intake duct where the vgt actuator is likely unplugged.

What position on the exhaust? Egr and bags just went to scrap but I've got the exhaust portion in Storage yet

'15 longhorn I purchased new, got a vacuum pump around 75k, delete at 90k, tone wheel and crank sensor at 115, Turbo at about 190 (put a new tone Ring on while transmission was out). Currently around 235. Still gets upper 20s and is very comfortable to drive. Removed the air suspension which was...

Yep and when the 15 was new your manual spec'd euro 5w30, that was revised to 5w40 t6, the Next generation ecodiesel's 2019 or so off the top of my head; was again revised with a tsb recanting t6 for those Gen3 ecodiesel engines due to soot, so the newer guys have a different spec than our Gen 2...

Yea but the new Gen trucks dropped the rotella spec siting soot. So it's no longer the 5w40 favored oil as it was from 2016 on. Just as 5w30 was spec in 2014 and 15 before being altered to t6 5w40

Yeah It's definitely not great but it's just turning wrenches. I'm not looking forward to it again but I haven't had the derate come back yet

Complete exhaust available but not pictured, egr, dosing nozzle, sensors, egt sensors, band clamps etc. Slew of value for anyone with an intact truck, removed at 90k everything was operable. Stored ever since. Bags are fine that I know of; just problems with the compressor valve Body in winters...
