Spitballing... Failed/failing water pump. Check by opening a hose, starting, and watching the flow that comes out. Similar issue with radiator. Clogged? Stuck thermostat? Check by starting cold and taking temps of radiator in/out hoses. Once thermostat opens, they should flow/change temp...

Update: I dropped the truck off on October 27th. A week later, November 3rd, I was called and told the turbo swap was complete. Everything seems good. The cab stays on when I stop, so that's good. ;) Everything covered by warranty. I'll test the turbo by pushing hard once spring rolls...

I like it! One thought: pull that mirror cover off and dremel a small hole for the V1 wire. Make it a half-circle, right where it is against the glass. FWIW.

I had some time yesterday, so I drove the truck up the same road. Sure enough, I got the same error. Again. within a tenth of a mile of the other 4 times it hit. Based on conversations with the service director and at his request, I drove it to the dealership in "limp" mode. (Without resetting...

No. Dealer pushback. Says the recorded P00AF code is not sufficient. Admittedly, the two incidences show as one "blip". I shall make it occur again and then limp it in.

I've got a tall sitting height. I am very happy with my Blendmount for my V1G2. (Regardless of which mounting option you go with, I -highly- recommend the free JBV1 app. It's free, but I donate to Johnny Boy, the developer, every year.)

Thanks. The P00AF code (and symptoms) made it very clear it was the turbo dropping out. I'd rather have a turbo fail than my HPFP grenade my fuel system. Of course, I'd also rather have a CP3 than a CP4 (modified) as a HPFP. ;)

Update: Not liking the dealer response. Recap: I drove up Fancy Gap, got the P00AF failure. It is dangerous. Finally found an exit, cycled the ignition, and repeated my journey, I-77 Fancy Gap northbound. It failed again, exactly the same. I cycled the ignition, the failure was "cleared"...

Update. With normal daily driving, I've had no issues. Since the P00AF/turbo failure occurred on a steep road, I decided to try the same road again. I took the truck up the same route (I-77 North, Fancy Gap) and on the 7-9% slope...same failure, at about the same spot. (Difficult location, no...

Great writeup, great pix! Thanks.

2 purchases: In 2021 I gave up $500 in incentives for 0% over...7 years (?). In 2022 I gave up $1,000 in incentives for 0% for 5 years. Both loans were right about $25,000. I'll let the advanced ROI whizzes figure out what my APR was (and, yes, please include inflation...because that's what I...

Pay the $300. After they check it, get your $300 back. <- Of course, that assumes your repair is under warranty.

45,500.

Yeah, I put a very similar one in a few years ago. Let me look and see if my thread is floating around... Catch Can for the ecoDiesel without throwing codes? From T&S Speed shop, but it looks identical?

Ok, it happened. Driving up a mountain pass (Fancy Gap, I-77, VA/NC border), at speed, I got some error messages and a check engine light. "Service Electronic Throttle Body" and "Service Electronic Stability Control". Both associated lights illuminated as did the MIL/CEL. Truck drove, but with...
