Cool and thanks for answering! I have a set coming next week and I was looking at your pics. I thought it looked like the tabs for the shrouds were on the stock inserts. Good to hear they held up!
I know it has been a number of years since this thread but I have a question if you remember..... How did you keep the plastic shrouds after changing to the Grillcraft MX series grill?
Thanks
I would probably buy another ecodiesel. I think GDE's new tune will help many people if it is as advertised. The ECO certainly has its share of issues that I hope are resolved. Fords 3.0 diesel isn't exactly flying off the dealers lots though and I haven't heard anything about the new GMC.
The plastic intake manifold may have shown some signs of melting. When the EGR cooler fails or leaks it can inject hot coolant into the intake manifold and potentially cause a fire.
Your situation seems incredibly frustrating and I definitely understand your plight. However it does seem that taking the settlement money, doing a tune that can be taken in and out and quite likely having your truck drivable instead of in the shop so much might make you money ahead.
I certainly...
I am set up almost exactly the same including leveled and 10 ply tires but without the 600 lbs load.
City 20 to 22 (seems to like 21.5!) Hiway 24 to 26 @ 60 to 65 never really go 70 for any appreciable time
I ordered a new fuel filter from Amazon and it came with the packaging completely destroyed, hard to tell if the filter was crushed so I sent it back. I also noticed that it looked very different so I just decided not to trust it.
I went to the dealer today to buy one and they had the same style...
Swung by my dealer today to buy a new fuel filter. Decided to ask the service advisor there about the EGR cooler replacement. She told me they are getting an allotment of 2 a week and put me on the waitlist. It was indicated end of July at best.
Not too worried at this point as I am GDE hot tuned.
