If the crank sensor was bad the tone wheel could have came apart and took out the crank sensor, very common.. If that happened it could be under AEM recall extended warranty. There is also a W58 recall that was a software change to allow the truck to run if the tone wheel failed. His truck...
Pete,
It sounds like you bought a tuned truck rather than you purchased and installed the GDE tune. Didn't the truck come with GDE's handheld tuner which would allow you to easily flash to stock for dealer visits? If you didn't get the GDE tuner with the truck have you contacted GDE to get...
I believe the wait for the oil to flow into the engine is mainly to get an accurate reading on the dipstick. I have also read to preclude oil starvation on startup.
Waiting the 15-30 minutes for it to empty guarantees a 100% drain. It's a well known fact that the Eco takes a long time to...
I read and copied this from something, forum, post, Ram document, I can't remember.
1 - remove the oil fill cap to allow the oil to flow freely as its drained and ensures a full drain.
2 - remove the oil filter.
3 - drain the oil for no less than 20 minutes.
4 - install the new filter
5 - fill...
No harm, no foul. We all learn from others' opinions. The problem I had with yours was simply that some of your opinionated statements were inaccurate. Hopefully, you learned something.
As I posted for you on another forum.
I've had the SFT since 2019. There's no reason or need to remove the EGR.
Their current tune (W58 recall updated) also turns off the DEF system, which I do not like.
I am in the process of ordering the MRT tune which has the option to keep the DEF system...
Next time, if a next time, add ashless 2-stroke oil to the mix, if none add regular 30w cheap dino oil. as the tank goes down keep refilling with diesel.
The VB! recall (cooler replacement) should have no effect on the engine performance. Or are you referring to the VO8-VA7 AEM Emissions recall? That could affect hesitation.
Engine life is effected by so many factors, it's hard to say how long yours will last. There are many running over...
Yes, I know, bio is great (the best) lubricity and also has cleansing qualities. I am not a fan of bio as it reduces mpg and power, but it looks like I have no choice as I'm told that Califunny enacted the 20% bio rule. However, I cannot find any confirming documentation.
.
Use any additive designed to add lubricity. I currently use Hotshots products.
Also know that water in the fuel is the worst thing for the CP4 pump, will guarantee failure
I don't believe the debris can get to the engine. Have never heard of a pump failure doing that. The failure ruins the...
