    Engine Failure - Warranty Claim - DENIED

    Mike46, If even if the O-ring was seated in correctly there should have been enough Lube/pressure to for the rotating mass lubrication, it certainly would not destroy the mating surfaces in 50 miles of driving.

    Restricting EGR.

    It will eventually trigger rationale codes. In OEM operation it's a dirty filthy engine. Some do well in 90%+ Hwy Use, Mixed driving will at some point cost $$$$ in repairs.

    2018 ecodiesel forced regen with alpha and MX+obd2.

    At times you want to run the stationery desoot more than once,just drive it 2+miles and you can perform the service again, the more soot you burn off the less chance of ash build up,ash cannot be burned-out, if the DPF gets plugged with ash it must be removed and physically cleaned out.
