    What's the best ecodiesel tune today for "EGR shutoff" but keeping equipment installed?

    Z. The fanatical EPA and the current Admin were served a BIG blow buy the SC, they no longer can just set near 0 Measures or make wild claims like External EGR are required.... Once this is challenged in COURT the EPA will lose, it to risky for them to pursue right now. The current Lie-O-Cratic...

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    The problem with CP4 (regardless of Ver) its unforgiving and very destructive unlike the CP3. Feed the CP4 with good lube and clean fuel it can reach 500K miles, why do I say that, because I have confirmed that on several CP4 replacements.

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    OAs will allow time for decision(s)...We used them for years, never has a trend been false, also you do NOT condemn powerplants on 1 result, at times they are flukes. If the motor goes out of production you're really screwed, It's not like millions have been produced for the aftermarket to jump...

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    Its a Hero / Zero Motor, If the entire rotating mass is machined and tight tolerances are met it will last with proper maintenance. You still need to deal with all the other short comings on the 3.0VM. Is it worth the risk to You? Its likely that the New Hurricane Motor will end the VM 3.0...

    Cylinder head removal do to a mushroomed glowplug

    Ryan check out that head...if the valves are warped. It's very common on OEM heads.. also I'd that plenum is gunk up replace it...here's what happens the swirl valves get all cake up stopping the cooler air from entering the intake port...the valves get hot from lack of incoming air.

    Engine won't start after layup.

    We'll its to late to tell Ya, this is not the engine for remote operation. leaving it sit for 3 months creates all sorts of problems, and likely will required someone who knows the work arounds.... AK is a long ways from MN. First check the in tank pump, remove the COV Cascade overflow valve...

    2021 High Pressure Fuel Pump Failure

    John the required additive Ratio to make a difference is 4oz per gallon, Your better off buying Bio-diesel and adding NO additives when possible. Check you local station drop sheets for Bio-diesel, in the Midwest its everywhere. MN is 20% Biodiesel May 1 to Oct 31 and Nov 1 to April 30 3%.
