I thought the ECo would defuel if oil hit 255. His didn't. Guess I have wrong info

You didn't get the W58 recall completed? That would have let you keep driving the truck, however, in limp mode, to get it to a dealer. Or did you get the recall and decided easier to have it towed?

It's not a national thing. It's up to the fuel companies as to when and where. Washington state now has a huge renewable refinery near the Canadian border but to date has no distribution. There are scattered locations that only distribute to trucking fleets. Neste My is in the process of...

I looked for your MAP write-up. Couldn't find it in all of your posts. How find or repost it?

He may be your only bet as I have not heard of anyone else modding the engine crank. I thought the crank failures were due to its bearing failures. So if he fixes bearing issues on a stronger crank that would be wonderful. Let us know your progress and how it turns out. Randy could use...

You should do some searching about that company. There's a lot of hate and bad reviews, then again there are good reports and reviews. Very controversial.

I don't think "the diesel engine's days are numbered", fossil diesel fuel days are numbered. Now that we have renewable diesel capabilities the diesel engine can exist into the woke green future. Here in Califunny the 76 stations (Phillips66 and Conoco) now offer renewable diesel. I have...

If you completed the AEM emissions recall you have an extended warranty that I believe covers that sensor

You don't need to drive fast, you need to get it up to and keep it at operating coolant temp. I get on the freeway and run it in 6th or 7th gear to run at 2000 or more RPM. But like Boost said, it may be too late.

Not to argue with your opinion or experience but I have to say there are a lot of very high mileage Ecos on the road that are still running well. I agree the failure rate is too high but not a reason for everyone to bail. Not sure why you think replacing a failed engine instead of repairing...

Wow! I'm glad I've no friends with a similar experience nor do I ever want one. Time to get a good lawyer

Hello and welcome to the forum. You ask a tough question that only you can answer. You don't say what your truck needs are. If it is going to be a short trip daily driver, or you don't need the torque of a diesel, there's no reason to own a diesel. I have a 2016 Eco that I bought new for...

It's a lot easier to cause a regen with an Edge CTS2 monitor, but it costs a lot more than AlphaOBD

Gotcha - thanks

Well, glad to meet you. I was born a second generation in San Diego, raised in Chula Vista, and lived in Escondido, Orange (Orange County), and Bonita since 1976. Love it here and the weather, can't stand the woke politics. Would move except my entire family is here and at 89 I haven't...

That's a good run to Mohave. I haven't done it from LA but from San Diego to Kingman. Sound like you are doing everything right to conserve fuel. I too, do better on cruise. I seems like the newer Ecos do better than the older ones, you've got a good one. Side skirts is an interesting idea...

Welcome Not sure how you can improve 30mpg. You are doing very well. My tuned 2016 Eco has never seen 24mpg except for the one time in 2016, before being tuned, I got 25.77mpg on a 303 mile freeway stretch at 65-70mph. I'm not complaining as my mods are not mileage friendly. It has 3.55...

I use an Edge CTS2 to monitor the data I mentioned above. I've also used a CTS3 but that will not initiate or force a regen like the CTS2.
