    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    The pump that was installed in my EcoD IAW recall is a CP4.2 variant. The markings on the pump casing indicate this variant has an asymmetrical lobe. Till someone opens one up to determine, my guess is they may have "pinned" the bucket.

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    FWIW... Hand calculated and indeed my actual mpg was 2 miles less than the computer. However, my trip back saw better mileage, same conditions and speed. 32.5 mpg trip computer, 30.5 actual.

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    Trucks computer. Good point. Haven't messed with hand calculating yet. Maybe on the way back I'll run a set of numbers. Either way, I'm pleased with the overall performance. Villainizing diesel power is BS. ..but that's just me.

    DC to South Carolina today, Interstate, cruise set at 72 most of the trip. All recalls updated including HPFP. Final trip avg mpg 30.6 Smooth and quiet. Seems a shame they discontinued this power plant.

    Key FOB Security

    Certainly, there are some solid anti-theft systems out there, but for the folk who might not have the financial resources to afford one, or the need for daily protection, what I'm proposing is a no cost action that might provide temporary protection when heading for a day trip to the big city or...

    Key FOB Security

    Woah! I'm still here, still working on my theory. Didn't mean to cause a stir. I do indeed own a "retirement red" EcoD. Freakin' hilarious, cause I did in fact buy it for retirement. Love the truck, but I agree that there's little chance a thief is gonna find my truck desirable, given it's...

    Key FOB Security

    OK. Popped the battery out of the fob and used the emergency access and start procedure. Ran like normal. Remote functions obviously don't work, but no message about key fob out of the vehicle, nothing out of the ordinary while driving around the neighborhood. (put my spare fob in the...

    Key FOB Security

    Greetings... Fell down the rabbit hole on recent news about thefts of our vehicles using the vehicle's key fob code transmission. Ordered a faraday case for my fobs to use when on trips to the big city... However, I'm looking at my emergency key and instruction for it's use if the fob battery...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    Well, crap... I just picked the truck up this afternoon. Had I known I'd asked the service department to let me look at the pump they removed. Makes absolutely no sense that they'd spend money and effort to replace the problem pump with the same one. The removed pump pictured above has a...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    Maybe they're sourcing different brands due to the bottleneck in Bosch supply? ...will see.

    2022 1500 Ecodiesel issue

    I have noted the dead pedal and shuddering sensation on my new (to me) 2020 while driving it for the few months before having its recalls performed. Just had the recalls taken care of (exc HP fuel pump, on order). The Y81 update included some powertrain programming as well as def inducement...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    Scheduled my HP pump replacement with local dealer while bringing it in to get caught up with all it's recalls. (Leased 2020, purchased in September with 13k miles on it.) Dealer indicated pump would take about a week to get and would call me as soon as it's delivered to schedule the work...

    Fuel pre-charge using remote start?

    Well, spent a bit trying different scenario's and nothin' on my EcoD. The only fuel system pre-prime comes with remote start. Maybe a programming thing? I don't see why they can't have a couple sec crank delay programmed into the cab start button like the remote. Now that I've seen this, I'm...

    Fuel pre-charge using remote start?

    Greetings, New member, 2020 EcoD. I've had the vehicle for about a month now and have noticed a couple things I'm curious about. 1) when remote starting the vehicle there's about a 3 second delay with the tank fuel pump running, priming the system, before crank is initiated. This doesn't happen...
