Sounds like you get to do some traveling! Welcome

Looking forward to hearing about what you learn!

Since I am tuned I have given your scenario quite a bit of thought. I am keeping my eye on my coolant, checking my oil, and keeping things monitored. I would be choosing option #1 if I were in your shoes as I also have other transportation options.

Seems like you have 3 choices. 1:Uninstall the tune, wait for the parts (like others are doing) get it repaired then reinstall tune. Safest and will maintain warranty 2: full delete and lose all warranty (unless you put it back when parts become available) 3: go with dealers recommendation...

Uninstall your tune, take the truck in for warranty repairs, (insist they clean the intake manifold if you can) get truck back and reinstall the tune.

Read the forums, some tunes are able to be transferred in and out via a flash tool and some require having 2 ECM's (stock and tuned) and switching them in and out.

I had to fix my title also. It said "engine" gas It was free but I thought I had better do it before I filed the FCA claim paperwork back in August or so.

I have used dielectric grease for years on certain things. As the topic comes up here upon occasion and I am staying at home like so many people doing chores and researching various things on the internet I thought I would throw out a you tube video for anyones viewing pleasure if you are...

I now see some of your other posts. It looks like you have done some nice work.

Well what do you love and what do you hate? Welcome!

Love to see a few pics and learn more about the 2020!

I have done OA on the last 4 or 5 changes and the last one could have been a little better, Curious to see the next after 7500 miles with the GDE tune

Brady, That is super encouraging. I am very curious to see how my first oil analysis with the GDE tune looks when I change my oil this summer. I am expecting something similar! If these kinds of OA's don't encourage people to find a way to tune I am not sure what will.

Very nice looking truck!

There really aren't any choices of actual tunes out there anymore are there? SKT or HD diesel?

Curious how this works for you. A quick google and search on the cummins engine reveals the same EGR related problems as the 3.0. Same with Powerstroke and Duramax. It may not be "quite" as dramatic with the larger engines but it seems to me the only real solution is disabling the EGR

I am not sure someone would put an aftermarket fan in? Buy a stock one with whatever pigtail assembly goes with it and put it back to stock.

You will probably just end up buying new ones. Probably be cheaper than trying some kind of fix. Stainless steel for $300.00 or so

Should be interesting to see how it affects starting? I am not sure if there are different resistances or temperatures in glow plugs?

You should be able to do a tune for less than $1000 bucks. If you don't want to lose all possibility of a warranty then a tune you can take in and out would be great. If you are going to do a full delete and remove all the parts it will cost more and be much harder to take in for any kind of...
