Overheating will cause a head gasket to go.
Or if the head bolts have loosened off.
They diagnosed it as an oil passage breach, block to head, which I had in Audi V8. The service record showed a dealer re/re of the heads but there must have been a leveling issue, cause it kept leaking.
I...
Lose - lose on the Ford. Despite having good women and men working there, Ford at core business level are crooks. They pilfer engineering from acquisitions, then spin them off. There is no intrinsic ecosystem of innovation and engineering. Just slime on the take. I dont see a single engineer...
I blew my diesel at the strip, Reckless tuned and bullet-proofed me and now make 500 rwhp 500 tq with stage 3 mega-tow and transmission tune can haul heavy 10000lbs 12 sec in a 1/4 mile, beat the Cybertruck straight up.
pix or didn't happen, nose down for more top-end ;) See ps:
PS: JUST...
Well here's what happened to me .. in Canada. Volvo Canada could care less. Transport Canada while nice folks, and logged the issue but did nothing. I imagine there has to be people dying, CBC flaming up, before they are going to lift a finger.
With this Volvo I had no brakes, was on fire at...
I'm thinking if your DEF is flowing, and gets used up, the SCR is clean then you are good.
Our truck was one DEF tank per year, wasn't used much, all short distance, idling etc. My god the worst thing ever for this exhaust treatment system. If the exhaust treatment system is removed, then there...
The problem with ALL diesel motors starts with emissions law (EPA). Have to say diesels are pretty nasty oil burners.
Modern gas is much cleaner and simpler with just a single catalytic and a couple of O2 sensors.
Ok so engineers at Bosch build the impossible - 1. A particulate filter, 2. A...
Blown engines happen, time to fix it. That's motoring 101. Class action suits etc nothing but aggravation and noise.
Why is it that when $hit happens it's supposed to be someone else's problem??
Your problem started with buying given the terms (no warranty etc). My truck blew at 30K miles!
And...
I'm so "souped up" that it be difficult to go back but a 2021 Limited ED looks pretty sweet and everybody so scared $hitless of them prices are good.
My truck:
Tune and deleted
Anti-gravity Lion battery
Cross drilled MAXX brakes
1" spacers
Bilstein shocks, Airlift 1000
Surfboard rack and custom...
Yes! I have one on mine, makes a big difference if ambient is below freezing. I did start at lower temps, slow crank and stalled when pulling out of a snow drift.
Hey Randy - PDR Diesel in Langley did a swap for me came out great. I found a good used motor up in Prince George and then Garrett did a full delete/tune. I am towing with it driving south now. It was $20K to fix it but we only had 50K kms on the truck! Runs so well now. No worries. PS: We...
Aint the oil, but good oil obviously helps. From the VM website, these motors ran great in marine applications with unrestricted exhaust. Therefore I think it's the DPF tbh. Our DPF was always chock full, averaging 70% and the engine crated at 30K miles. I ran Lucas CJ-4 oil at the time, and it...
There is no way in heck I would ever use a slide-in camper with a RAM. Not a fan of them in any case due to high COG.
However, you can increase payload, here's some ideas. Just have to reduce weight held by the springs:
Rough #'s
Lithium battery 50 lbs
Full delete, with no EGR/DEF etc. approx...
I was towing a month ago, came out of gas station up a hill and had a similar turbo flutter, marginal power.
Seemed to clear itself after backing off and then putting my foot in it.
