As you can see in my sig, I've had the engine and the turbo replaced. This truck has no tuner on it whatsoever. It has had two EGR coolers replaced, one EGR replaced, one degas bottle replaced, fan clutch replaced, A/C compressor twice replaced, mileage has gone from 16MPG solid to 11MPG and the truck has never been driven like I'm at a NASCAR event.
I tow regularly with it, well within the capabilities of the truck, and I open it up every once in a while, to ensure that the turbo doesn't coke up. The 2nd EGR cooler replacement started failing a few months ago, so I took care of that once and for all by visting River City Diesel's website. I added a coolant filter from Dieselsite which, again, should have been done from the factory. I change my fluids regularly as well.
I really hope that, once I take care of all of the problems that should have been taken care of by the engineers, I'll have a reliable truck, but for now the truck sits in my driveway, courtesy of a dead FICM. It's getting towed to my indy mech tomorrow morning.
