    No start, hard start

    Sounds exactly like a dead/dying battery. I would get the battery tested and replaced. An old battery can cause your starter or alternator/generator to fail early.

    6.7 fuel filters

    My truck runs the same primary filter. I'd recommend Doc'sDiesel filters.

    Fuel injector cleaning service star case - tied to fuel pump recall?

    Not certain as to what the Star case is tied to, but I will say my dealer tried to charge me 700 dollars for a similar injector cleaning service when my truck produced a CEL noting "fuel injection quantity lower than expected P026C." Read as, a partially clogged injector. Even with truck under...

    Mine also indicates 19-21 PSI when warm and idling in gear. I'd definitely be heading to the dealer if you're smelling burning oil, could just be a little residue burning off, or it could be a serious issue. Fingers crossed for you.

    Slumping fuel economy

    Alignment, tire pressure, brakes dragging, wheel bearing failing, differential oil breaking down, dirty air filter, dirty fuel injectors, blocked fuel filter. A whole lot of things could be causing it, and I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence. But, maybe put the truck on jackstands and...

    Low hum noise on 4WD

    @Gnix, I'm not sure the lift would have changed all that much except the angle of the front CV axles, I'm unsure that would cause your noise but I wouldn't rule it out (my truck is factory height). However in regards to your random brake squeaks I actually replaced my front brake pad hardware at...

    Low hum noise on 4WD

    On occasion yes you will hear a little bit of noise especially when running at high speeds or during tight turns on dry pavement. These 4WD AUTO trucks have an electronically actuated clutch in their transfer cases, this allows some slip when in dry conditions so that the...

    New to me ecodiesel questions...coolant color and poor MPG?

    Yeah, that sweet smell is totally normal on cold start ups. It will be more noticeable when the outside air temps are low and the engine has to high idle for a few minutes. I'm not certain of the exact reasons but I believe it is the emissions systems compensating for a "running rich" condition...

    I used AlfaOBD yes. I forgot my exact tire diameter but I wound up chalk test/measuring them on a smooth concrete floor to help calibrate. Maybe they were around 2665mm circumference. Hmmm🤔. But I remember the difference from factory size was almost 7%.

    I usually run mine at 33-35 pounds, I’ve gone as low as 30 cold with zero wear issues or problems. Factory tires only called for 32 psi for reference. As for mileage I get between 22 and 26 with city and highway mixed driving. Biggest variable is how I drive. I definitely do not hyper-mile the...

    2022 1500 Ecodiesel issue

    Have you brought the truck in for the little DEF inducement reprogramming that they needed to do? The recall code is Y81, but that eliminated any throttle hesitation that my truck had from the factory. This doesn't sound exactly like the "Dead Pedal" problem, but without sitting in the truck...

    Horn not beeping when locking with remote. Beep setting on.

    Mine is also currently doing this. After resetting the option to beep after one button press then back to two button press the truck will chirp the horn for about a week or so after a double press, then it will not beep at all. Nothing I've attempted has fixed it permanently.

    Drained Water/Fuel - Forgot to prime fuel pump

    If it only cranked for just a little bit, you should be fine. If you were trying to start it for more than a minute or so, then yes you could possibly do some damage. The high pressure fuel system is more susceptible to damage when the engine is running and the pump is spinning much faster than...

    Currently running LT 285/65R20's with only a little rubbing on the front wheel well liners at full lock and when going over the curb to park on the front lawn. May take the sawzall to them one day, but for now it does not bother me. 275/60R20 should fit easily if your truck has the Off Road...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    If the code is P026C or similar (fuel injection quantity lower than expected) change the fuel filter and run some diesel extreme injector cleaner through the truck. If the truck is running fine I doubt your high pressure pump is going. I can promise you the truck wouldn’t run if that pump gave...

    What did you name your truck?

    My friends call my truck “The Warthog” like from Halo CE. I assume because it’s a green truck like the hogs are. The only Warthog I really know is Pumbaa, so the name Pumbaa stuck for me!
