I last had the truck in the shop in July. Not sure if they attempted any reflash then.

Mine did this back in April. The dealer has been trying to figure it out since then, including the reflash. Still codes for under boost and now it has progressed to an EGR issue and they are back ordered. Haven't been able to tow anything over 5000# all summer. I'm so done with this piece of...

Sweet. Maybe they can fix my other mystery issues as well. My CP4 still hasn't caused any issues.. the ECM, EGR and turbo not so much.

I'm happy if my truck is at 50% idle hours. It's a work truck and I'm not shutting it off every time I stop to supervise something, and I'm sure not driving it without a 10 min. warmup (even plugged in) at 0F.

Ahh... Everts then.

Is yours still running? I have a 2019 with 35K miles.. first truck I've ever owned that didn't have an issue in the first year. Your choice in diesels in 2020 is two with CP-4s and one with a brand new untested transmission.

From my experience in replacing several snowmobile fuel pumps over the years, fuel dispensers at filling stations will put particles into your fuel. We'd disassemble the fuel pumps (all plastic inside) and find metal particles jamming the pumps. Not saying that's the issue you are having, but it...

Keep us posted if the Aisin reflash helps with that 2 to 3 shift. Mines getting bad and I'm wondering if I will take it in. I have had the VB6 done a while ago.

Fmax210SS. 20+5' dove tail, max ramps, super single 17.5's, 10K axles on heavy duty suspension options, electric over hydraulic discs. I didn't need the extra length in the areas I operate and loads I haul. An absolutely amazing trailer. Worth every penny of what it cost. A little snowy today...

I'm not going back and forth on pressures or I'd be doing it all day. I used to run 80psi all the way around, but found 70 to be sufficient.

Great idea. I've never heard of it, but I'll be doing it at my next service.

Not something I'd worry about. That's about the same ratio mine has. Living in a cold climate and being a supervisor/business owner truck causes it for me. There are many times I pull over in the winter to talk on the phone. Today, I put down almost two hours of idle time, all of which I was on...

This doesn't exist and has been proven. There is no TSB replacing the CP4 with a CP3. There is a newer version of the CP4.2, but nobody has proven why it's better. FCA basically said it was changed to reduce noise (?) I wouldn't touch a 2019 with a ten foot pole with injector issues.. and I own...

Cool sounding stuff. I have a new Kenworth T880 on the way that gets way more miles than my pickup and will be parked in a heated shop when not in use (unlike my pickup) so cold temperature starts will negate needing 5W-40. If this oil does what it says it'll do, it will be significant.
