Topper with kennel and two big dogs in back. Couldn't see too well to notice. I don't use any one method I've never backed into anything before like this but too late. Oops is all I can say

I know I almost put the receiver I had in straight onto the pole. I'd have been happier. Wasn't going fast at all but using mirrors not camera.... damn park sensors didn't go off till it hit.

No it's gonna get fixed. But I had high deductible when it's my fault. I'm sure like a 3k insurance job. Priced out parts it's not bad at all. I expected much worse. Only 270 for a painted bumper from Dodge, 479 for a painted to match tailgate from eBay, new emblems and a tailgate cap probably...

I joined your Club today... :( didn't shoot it but I hurt it

I can't believe I just did this. Backing up to get into a drive through at the bank, old telephone pole I completely didn't see. And well F*** Almost hit the pole dead on with the hitch which would've taken the entire hit. But no just to the side.

Exactly how I felt finding it. But I'd rather see a small torquey diesel in an offroad styled truck which is why the Colorado zr concept actually appealed to me. Unfortunately that's still not a reality either

Right

Due to an obviously smaller Turbo and engine yes it's less effective. But it does help and is there

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzGOOyguKqqEbC1YaG1IVjg2b0k/view?pli=1 Everyone needs to reference this page to understand the mechanical limitations of the Turbo and the GDE tune dynamics. The hardware section features Turbo size limitations

But that's because GDE actually took the time to understand mechanical limitations of the motor for power. The Turbo is too small for significant gains. Hence why their focus is clean economical and well sounded with slight power and mileage gains vs advertising huge power gains they cannot deliver.

The reference about too much fuel and not being burned off until reaching the exhaust is more so in reference to piggyback tunes like banks where they are only increasing fuel rail pressures to provide excess fuel and in turn power. That's when there is secondary combustion after the cylinder...

That's because diesel Burns hotter and longer than gasoline. The Ecodiesel is a higher temperature and totally different dynamic engine than the Ecoboost. Hence why your kids never see those temps.

You're right it's a good read. Hope others see this!

This is like the small hometown ecodiesel forum. Small tight knit community that tries not to get caught up on the big city drama and actually help one another out with advice support troubleshooting or upgrades. Boost is very involved as administrator and it's a pleasure to be here over the big...

Welcome! A fellow Minnesotan

When I do my heavy driving a have to fuel up throughout the day, but when I stay home I go weeks without seeing the gas station. I like that a lot. It's no Prius but it does a damn fine job for a full size truck. I remember the day I got it driving home tandem with a 06 Chev that had a 16'...

It's your exhaust system that's seeing those temps though which I'm sure the filter is most likely a ceramic like a catalytic converter would be and stainless steel. Ceramic or whatever the compound filter inside is likely what holds so much heat. I'm honestly not worried about it at all but...

I ordered mine March of this year. Delivery was early may. I think it was about 6 weeks to delivery. Worth every waking hour to get MY truck though
