Never had this issue with my truck, but I have had issues with diesel machinery and other vehicles. The best thing to help clear its throat would be bringing it out on the highway and getting the engine nice and warm and letting it breathe for a while. The truck will automatically run a regen if...
Well, just got the truck back from the dealer. Had them address a glow plug issue while it was there. Pump was installed with 68,988 miles on the truck. 22 miles on the new fuel pump, too early to tell if there’s any difference in performance or MPG. I suspect it will all be exactly the same.
I did the math 2.5 years ago when I put my tires on, I wanna say I got 3.62 after my chalkboard was filled up. approximately 2,000 RPM at 75 MPH.
Edit: @Idahoktm, that site would have saved me lots of chalk dust^
When I ordered my truck all three gear sets were on the order sheet, however only the 3.92 was available with the E Locker, so that’s the box I checked
I run about 70/30 Highway/City and change mine every 5k with Pennz Ultra Platinum Euro. My intake definitely has some soot in it, but it's not clogged yet. I'd be curious if your truck had an EGR or PCV issue that caused the intake to get trashed. 9k is a lengthy oil change in my eyes, but I'm...
Makes me feel odd for having bought an EcoDiesel truck too, only put that motor in the 5th gens for 3 years, suppose that it was just another experiment too :(.
As someone who is right behind you in mileage, I’m a little anxious. How often did you change your oil? Did you go by mileage or by meter in the gauge cluster?
Some of them are Snake Oil, but some of them do provide additional lubricity to the fuel which keeps high pressure fuel pumps and injection pumps happy, and others have detergents/dispersants that help keep your injector nozzles clean. They're all either cheap insurance, or a placebo to keep...
Another vote for the 2500 here! 6.4 hemi and 3.73 gearing will be plenty for what you're doing.
Sure a 1500 could do it a few times a year, but it will be sketchy. a 2500 will do it comfortably and could do it all day, and every day.
They tested the plug, I assume with a multimeter. They said #4 glow plug is fried. Wiring all checked out and it wasn’t unplugged. Sorry, my wording made it seem like they did nothing besides hit the OBD port, but either way kinda surprised the plug kicked the bucket at only 65k miles.
So, dealer plugged in and said it’s a bad glow plug, easy peezy. Scheduled the repair for a few weeks out, in the meantime just driving the truck like normal and using the block heater for the cold nights.
