Count me in. Mine was over $2000 at Arrigo Dodge in west palm beach. My vin didn’t fall in the range of recalls. Horseshit.

Nonsense. Mine never overheated either I kept topping it off until I had the dealer diagnose it. They had it for a week before they told me they couldn’t get the part, so I supplied a used one from E bay.

Yes…. But in a very tight spot accessible from the bottom. They offered to just reinstall it and put the cab back on, but at 170k and a new turbo already in hand I opted to do it anyway. We also did the delete and retune + 40 hp. I wish I had done the delete years ago. BTW mine is a 2016, 4x4...

Yes, exact same issue, it runs directly under the intake manifold, there is a short piece of hose in between both metal ends, I paid 1500.00 but the dealership couldn’t find the part for a week, I got one on eBay and they used it.

I had the same thing happen but after the whistling it became extremely loud and underpowered, at about 170k, my local shop thought the turbo went bad. So I bought an OEM replacement, they pulled the cab off of the truck only to find that a sensor in the exhaust manifold/pipe had unthreaded...

EGR leaks are common but bad. There is a recall on it for that, but the dealerships can’t get the parts. I had mine deleted all together. Runs cooler, more power, no more Def. Your leak could also be the turbo cooler line under the intake manifold, I also had that, they couldn’t get that part...

I forgot, I can say that I bought a new tune from GDE after the class action lawsuit money came in, and successfully installed it then, I still have the tuner.

I picked up 40hp, lost all turbo lag, engine runs 15 degrees cooler, no def, and it even has a sweet exhaust note.

Exactly. My truck is better than new as a result of their efforts. Much better!

The shop that did mine was able to e mail the tune same day and upload it to my ECM. Parts were readily available locally. I too and Leary of reprogramming an ECM, especially on my daily driver.

11k? That’s the cost of a new engine… Find a small private diesel shop to do the delete and tune. Should be about $2500. Or less.

There is a recall on the tone ring, but my 2016 VIN isn’t included, it cost me $2200 to have my tone ring replaced, 4x4.

I consider myself fortunate, I have 176589 on my 2016, no issues except my tone ring failing, which is a recall item but does not include my exact VIN , but it happens to the 16 eco. 2000 dollar replacement as the trans has to come out. FCA would not cover this repair despite most other 16s...

I did the delete just recently at 176k miles, night and day, better mileage, cooler running temps, no def, I wish I had done it years ago.

ECM

I'm not exactly what tune the shop put on mine, I did have the GDE 2.0 tune prior to the delete, which was great.

I've done the full delete, no smoke, nothing.. I kinda was hoping for a little, but zero. I notice the faint smell of Diesel fuel outside of the vehicle from the exhaust, and I can hear the turbo spinning within the exhaust. I wish I had done the delete sooner. No turbo lag, more power (40...

5 lbs at idle? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, I’m sure you are aware of the rod knock problem due to low oil pressure. I replaced my oil cooler/filter housing due to a leak in that plastic piece you mentioned. Part was readily available though. I’ve heard debris clogging the oil...

I have done the EGR delete with muffler delete also, it does sound more like a diesel, not obnoxious, no black smoke, you do hear the turbo spinning amongst the sounds. Also you smell a little diesel fumes/fuel occasionally. I picked up about 4 mpg, and 40hp in the process. No more DEF, runs...
