That's reasonable miles for a water pump. Not uncommon of any vehicle. Yes the OE pump is 700, obviously you found the aftermarket 100 one. The valve, a thermostat and 5 hours of labor. Welcome to vehicle ownership. I don't find your fault to be fca in this case.
Well I've done the back 2, (firewall side) and thought another towards front burned out but it was #3 again. Learned with the second do it while engine is hot they pop right out. About 7 minute Repair no big deal.
Any more experience with these? I'm about to tick 184 and I'm finally getting some grief out of the ol girl. Few weeks back Hauling the Boat to the Lake went to pass and it threw the overboost and limped, last night went to drag a tree out of some flood ground and heavy boost really pissed er...
How many miles on your Truck? 95-115 is the general failure point. Dealer here I want to say pulls the starter and sneaks an endoscope in to view the tone wheel
I know first hand with my push to start that there's "cycle times" so to speak. From my tone wheel failure days it'll crank for way longer than you'd want it to. Also probably what's going on here
Yeah there's a gravel pit north of Bemus up that gravel kinda on the state Forest perimeter; I haven't been there in ages so unknown current condition.
You have to really know the tone you're listening for to hear it. Good way to test lift pump is to purge water from the fuel filter. Per the instructions you open the drain valve on cartridge housing then cycle ignition where it creates pressure and pushes out any water and some fuel from the...
I did as well with some rubber hose to pop onto the hiem joints. later got alpha obd and you can just program your own height values and do it without the hardware.
Of course the latter was found after the cold climate got the better of the air system
Cool that you did it; but it's a recalled and warrantied repair. You may be able to submit for reimbursement on the parts but because you did it yourself you're limited.
It's unfortunate that it's a trans split job for tone wheel/crank position sensor but every Truck out there will be...
Also curious what you mean by unexpectedly high maintenance costs? 100$ oil change at 9k interval, and a 40$ fuel filter ~annual? Differentials, and well that's all. Other than getting screwed with diesel prices the actual maintenance costs are at or below norm
Yeaaaa ain't got one of those, my used oil isn't sooty bs. And it goes straight back into the clean 2.5 from the past oil change. Accounting for that and the pretty fine filtration of the ecodiesel's fuel filter I wasn't worried to much about causing injector issues unless I tried dumping it in...
January I was having excess noise from my pump especially if below 1/4 tank like it was cavatating. Late winter after a few months running #1. This was back in February and I had the dealer order a pump, was supposed to be a week ended up being 3 months. I said screw it honestly wasn't worth (to...
