    How to replace Front air shock replacement

    There's an air line. No coil spring so once the line is off and the strut is unbolted you just compress it and pull it out.

    2015 turbo replacement with cab removal in the back yard

    Ya I wrote this up a few months back, and there's a uTube on it; can drop the transmission and do it from the backside. Plus gives free Access to the 50$ tone wheel for the crank position sensor that Delaminates after about 100k. Bet it was roomy without the cab though

    New here

    Shed weight at ~80-90k, have like 208 now. Have had the tone wheel which is unrelated, and had to replace a Turbo for failed vgt. Couple glow plugs, change oil with T6 at the ~9500 intervals. It's an old gde tune no longer available but I wouldn't expect any issues from the Canadian companies...

    Gutless

    Air and fuel Filters unless you have codes. They aren't "quick", but shouldn't feel gutless.

    Vgt U010C code

    I've got a good vgt actuator on the shelf, it kinda sucks but you can do it from on top of the engine. Just pop off the e clip and linkage, then it's a few 10mm. As to the module for it I'm not sure. None of that should be powered circuits from exhaust sensors, in my opinion anyway.

    Torque Convert Bolt stripped - seeking advice

    Well Dodge did my tone wheel at 116k; I did it again myself in the garage when I replaced Turbo at 196, one of the torque converter bolts were barely hand tight on removal so their techs aren't perfect either.. I'd get a fresh bolt myself from the hardware store, nothing special it's just graded...

    Front leveling (removing rack)

    I was leveled with air suspension linkage rods since almost new, and when that was removed for coils at maybe 130, 150 (hard to recall) I put leveling spacers again rather than the ranchero lift strut assemblies. It's daily driven highway, lot of Gravel and farm field running as well. Had more...

    DIY Turbo replacement

    Very very slight chance it would. Even without an egr cooler in the way and that plumbing; there's a banjo oil return line that comes from above trans up and around the Turbo, as well as HAVING to remove the studs for the manifolds as they V together, (the Turbo is the collector) you just need...

    Burning the old oil?

    That dealer was just wanting to sell fuel Filters. It's a waste to change at 8-10k and I think you know that as well. The injectors are fine, and it's low enough flow demand you'll probably never see the hpfp starving due to filter restriction.

    Burning the old oil?

    Today's diesel lubricity is shit from what it was with sulfer. Little synthetic oil diluted into the fuel ain't going to hurt it, like op said it's a fine enough fuel filter. No different than running a synthetic petroleum additive for diesel lubricity. But it's otherwise waste, not like trying...

    Burning the old oil?

    Yeah I do half of the time, I usually keep the old t6 2.5 jug so it's clean, and dump a gallon back into the fuel tank twice. It actually helped my cp4 as I had some cavitation noise before and not since I was doing that. I've got 201k.. and about 6300 hours for what it's worth. Also on a diet

    DIY Turbo replacement

    Honestly a huge job, 12.5 hours of book time but 199,777 finally hit the first major failure I've experienced outside the tone wheel. Extremely intensive disassembly, transmission out, (refreshed the tone wheel) I did it in the garage in a few days. Patience and heat as you've got to remove the...

    2018 Ram 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel died

    Yeah they have recall out on the cp4.2 hpfp as does most every other diesel from various manufacturers that run a cp4. Honestly I expected it to be your tone wheel for crank position sensor, which comes around 90-115k, but accept the inconvenience and let them pay for it. Apparently you've had...

    Reluctor/tone wheel install not covered

    There is not a revision so it is the same part, unfortunately rather than throw away 1000$, run it until failure and get the reimbursement warranty.

    2014 oil pressure????

    It's a fake generated reading so disregard

    Eco Diesel Engine maintenance and upgrades

    Drive the piss out of it. That's how you keep it alive and healthy. Stop and go life isn't for it. Long highway commutes, Towing, hills, getting hot will keep it healthy. Knock on wood 195k I've put a vacuum pump and had the tone wheel failure which was recall reimbursement eventually.

    2014 oil pressure????

    The oil pressure displayed on your evic is just load and temp calculated. There's not an honest reading or sensor. I've not heard of a pan leaking but I'd check torque myself if there's a loose spot on what's likely a permadry gasket before committing to a reseal.

    Exhaust

    Yeah tiny little ones but she's noisy in the cab under power. Fine at speed but acceleration is a bit much for cab volume. Kinda echos in my Topper maybe?

    Exhaust

    Well I let the intrusive thoughts get the better of me yesterday! It's a little loud in the cab I might look for a small resonator to find a happy medium.
