The dealership just changed my head gaskets, so studs and/or making sure the heads aflat are out of the question (to much hassle). It looks like they put an updated gaskets in atleast the part number suggests it. They also replaced some pins and used some misc. hardware I'd imagine new bolts? I'll have to look into the EGR deficiencies?


Thanks,

The exhaust note and turbo whistle have gotten louder, and it's closer to where the old juice/attitude was performance wise, but not the same hit when the turbo comes on, also my trans shifts weird. I need to mess around with the settings, but it feels almost like a stick shift the way the truck seems to accelerate, then stop, shift then accelerate again, instead of a smooth transition. Oh well, I guess it's not that bad. Anyone want to see if the code can work on more than one truck??? Hit me up PM, and I will give it to ya.
You have to go into your trans settings and change the difueller setting, its probably at 100% lower it to how you like the trucks shifting, it will suggest transmission upgrades but ive had mine at 50% for about a year and havnt had the slightest problem with anything.
