    Post Your Used Oil Analysis Here

    Dilution of oil with diesel fuel is usually caused by excessive active regeneration caused by short trip driving especially in cool temps. Change your oil more frequently or stop taking short trips. Or do a full delete and never worry about it again. My understanding is that this is the...

    ask them to call FCA, there was an error in the book that was corrected. Or you can wait til the court order is signed on the 5th of May and it is again covered by the settlement.

    Recently bought 2016 ecodiesel

    50k miles? It is under the emissions warranty until 80 thousand miles. Then after the recall, it will have another 4 years of warranty. The dealer may look up gas engines not diesel and say it is not warranted. but it is!

    Hello to All!

    If you don't see any coolant leaks it is likely the EGR or the oil cooler. Check your oil and see if there is coolant in it. If no coolant in the oil, it is the EGR. Your oil will look like chocolate milk if there is coolant in it. Keep your coolant up to the seam in the overflow and get it...

    Also, clean your MAF sensor. it is up on top of your intake. Yours is likely dirty from the EGR. They sell MAF sensor cleaner spray at the parts store.

    Right after you install your GDE ECM drain off a quart or so of oil, put in a quart of transmission fluid and run the engine for 10 minutes or so. Then do a proper oil change with Valvoline 5W-40 Premium Blue Extreme Synthetic Diesel Engine oil, Rotella T6, or Mobil 1 Turbo diesel truck. The...

    Recently Purchased 2016 Ecodiesel

    well, you don't need the EGR tube anymore if you get the GDE tune. I have the GDE tune. The EGR is no longer used. Just to make sure no coolant went from the EGR cooler to the intake I blocked off the EGR tube with a piece of Fel Ram gasket material. Are you going to remove the intake...

    Diesel fuel treatment

    I really don't know how to answer. My truck runs fine. Whether that means the Lucas does a good job or not, I really don't know. I want to keep the injectors clean and hopefully the Lucas helps.

    2017 EcoDiesel (Tradesman)...first diesel for me

    I think Banks is more focused on raw power, but I am not sure. PPEI has one too. I was only looking to make my truck last longer and get better mileage so I went with GDE.

    2017 EcoDiesel (Tradesman)...first diesel for me

    The GDE tune turns off the EGR and you still pass inspections. I wouldn't do a delete either, at least until all warranties are gone.

    Nice truck! Get the EGR turned off if you have not already!

    New ED owner.

    it is actually a replacement ECM for the truck. You pop out the old one and put in the new one. Your dealer does not have a software expert on hand to do a forensic analysis of the code. All the file names, file version dates etc. are all the same. Oil changes by the minder are good, if you...

    New ED owner.

    I think Carl Henry is right. But the GDE tuned truck will pass emissions in California according to others on the site. So I would install the GDE tune and then clean the MAP sensor which is up on your intake. I think it comes out with two 10mm bolts. They sell MAF sensor cleaner at the...

    It would cost what, $5.00 more to have made this part with a braided stainless steel hose?

    Diesel fuel treatment

    I use Lucas injector cleaner. I use about 2 gallons a year just to hopefully extend injector life. I have no idea if it helps or not. It is more hope than faith.
