You can always just add a thermostat yourself if needed. Im on my forth or fifth revision of my remote oil cooler setup. Started with the D&J hd setup which is decent setup but I push my truck harder the some. So I needed more cooling capacity. Hopefully this well be my last revision.
If power train warranty is your top concern leave it stock even a gde tune can cause warranty issues and yes it has caused warranty issues. But deleting the truck now well help prevent a lot issues in the long run and reduce the likelihood of needed power train warranty. Personally I deleted...
K&N air filters work well im the stock air box but I strongly recommend oil analysis. Lots of people service the filters incorrectly and cause them to not work correctly.
Ive held mine at 1720 for almost a minute multiple times and had spikes to 1750 with no issues. The turbo is cooled with engine coolant which helps a lot.
Turbo is rated for 1550 sustainabed so those temps are safe for it. When the bypass circuit malfunctions the O2 levels get to high and can cause a run away regen aka extremely high dpf heat that can and does cause fires. Bobcat truck aka the one on fire you showed was from exactly that.
Sound like you need to have it looked at by a good technician. Likely has a failing egr bypass circuit but you should understand how all that works lol.
First thing too due is a load test and for that use a good dvom not the evic. Then test its charge capacity, fully charge the battery then let it sit overnight and see where the voltage rests a healthy battery well be up around 12.8v. As batteries age they lose there charge capacity and get...
Cac delete is a complete waste of money if you plan on a aftermarket intercooler and pipes eventually. The flo pro race pipes work decent and are aluminized. The cft exhaust is T304 with a flex joint in it. Both kits leave the stock muffler and tailpipes in place. Just a fyi cft performance is...
If one monitors egt on these trucks you’ll see how much heat these engines hold onto. They dont cool down like there big brothers and shouldn’t be compared to them. Personally I try to not shut mine down when egts are above 400 but sometimes I’m in a rush. Its not just the turbo but heads, egr...
Depending on which way the three way valve is directing coolant pressure testing the cooling system might not show anything. It can also take heat to open up the leak. Definitely keep pushing the dealership just dont push so hard as to make them mad.
There is 0% proof the foam insulation increase fire risk. Most of the fires are due to dpf’s getting to hot or the egr bypass valve malfunctioning. If you want to greatly reduce fire risk remove those components. But they do trap heat into the engine just not enough to make fire. The reason...
