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...

Well, if you tell them there is an issue with warranty and want to see/record the HPFP being pulled, and then have it examined, that should show what failed. (Hard to think anything could've caused it.) For that money, consider a lawyer. Blanket the dealer with paper so that you are assured...

About 2,800 miles. Bud Clary in Seattle to North Carolina. Had a plan to spend about 2 weeks driving, hitting a bunch of national parks and trails...but the wife demanded that she accompany me. With her came her work schedule. So, 5 (easy) days, hitting tourist spots at lunch and early...

Yes. My opinion is changed: it is BETTER than I first thought. :) I went for all the options (gear control, braking, messaging). I think every ecoDiesel should get this tune. Side benefit? My consumption of DEF has plummeted.

I'm in! I like the current GDE tune enough that I'm sure any improvement will be just as worthwhile.
