You can do the ECM exchange yourself along with the EGR delete. its pretty simple.
I would go to an independent shop before a dealer. I dont know Canada rules and laws, but here in the US it would void the warranty
I suspect that soot from the EGR and fuel contamination of the oil caused by short trip driving play their part in making the oil less effective. That, along with some poor work by the Italians in Centro, Italy. I think the best thing to do is use the GDE tune to keep the oil clean, high...
Somewhere between 6 to 7% of the 3.0 engines die from the lower end bearings failing. Its really inexcusable for a major manufacturer to have this kind of a problem. Up to the 100k mile warranty, FCA has been responsible and replaced the engines. You are looking at buying one over 100k so I...

here are just two. You still have to tune it out of the software though. www.greendieselengineering.com
Its about a 900 USD project for all that
I asked the lab if the difference in results is because of the difference between CJ-4 and CK-4 Rotella T-6. I will let you know what they say.
I switched oils (looks like for no reason!) The next sample will be the Valvoline Blue synthetic Turbo Diesel oil, I am hoping it is good as well. If...
TC, Rotella T-6 is all I have used up until this last oil change and I have not used any additives previously. Maybe there was a change when they went from CJ-4 to CK-4? Maybe they give Walmart cheap stuff in the 2.5 gallon jugs? I don't know.
I will comment that Ford said no CK-4 oil in...
Here is my first oil analysis, ever, in any kind of vehicle. I thought I would try it. I did not change on miles, I only do it based on the oil minder. I have changed it at 15% life remaining since I got the truck. I have done all my own oil changes except for the first 4, which were done by...
KBB will buy your truck for cash "right now!" so it was probably someone who didn't want to deal with the bs. They are kind of like Carmax in that respect.
Use high quality API CK-4 full synthetic oil and consider a quart of Lucas full synthetic oil treatment. The factory recommends...
5w40 full synthetic that meets API CJ-4. Turbo diesel truck oil has different additives than car oil. Worst risk of course is using Jiffy Lube oil that is not synthetic. The bearings in this truck need a good oil cushion.
New engine, nice. Some are just bad and sometimes the dealer or service station uses cheap oil. I would use a good synthetic like Valvoline Premium Blue extreme and take 3 gallons with me to where you get your oil changed. I would use one quart of Lucas Pure Synthetic Oil Treatment and the...
If you are going to delete, that will replace the flash on your ECM. Maybe PM Greendiesel, who is active on this board, and ask them if there is a way to diagnose a bad ECM. I don't know where you got the truck but I think you are finding out why the last person sold / traded it. But I am sure...
The engine won't regen once there is another code set.
Change your oil, clean your EGR diffuser tube, clean the MAP sensor then go for a highway ride.
Consider an engine tune from Greendieselengineering.com to stop it from happening again.
Consider changing your oil when the oil monitor says...
Often though the P1289 code is caused by a bad ECM or a bad wiring harness. It could be a bad flash or a bad ECM or a bad wiring harness. I think you want to isolate that. Do you have an extended warranty?
p20ee code makes me think think your DEF injector is salted over and needs to be cleaned. There is a video you can follow.
But the more important problem is the p1289. What did the temperature gauge say when it threw the code? Also could you check the coolant level with the engine warmed...
