Picked up truck Friday and service advisor said they found the inner liner of the hose had worked it's way out and into the hydroboost, that is why it was replaced along with the hose. I think I should let their techs in on TDR, would have saved them a whole day of searching for the source of...

Just had the EXACT same noise develop on my truck on the way back from Thanksgiving. Took the truck to local dealer and they spent ALL day tracking down the source of the noise to no avail. When I found this post, I called the advisor to give them the info. They called back 20 min. later and...

20239/730=27. 7 Not so good:(

Just got truck back from dealer. They performed another flash for both engine and transmission. They said there was a stored P1451 code, but I had no CEL on the dash. They performed a regen because the last software update wasn't re-genning properly-hence the P1451 code I guess. They also did an H46...

Got appointment for Monday, 27th. We'll see what they say!!

Jim W Thanks for the input. The problem is tolerable, yet annoying when an owner pays attention to his truck day-to-day.

So... cleaning the MAF created this for you? Maybe mine was cleaned at the dealer while replacing turbo and updating software. Too bad for all these little issues, this 6. 7 pulls like a freight train when I need it to. Just don't want it to leave me and my family stranded somewhere, especially...

Driving around the Black Hills this week on vacation, I am noticing what at first seems to be a surge while climbing mild grades (w/o 5er) at a steady speed. Now, after closer observation, the rpm & boost seem to actually be momentarily dropping slightly in 2 or 3 second intervals. I've only...

Well, I attached a ground wire per the Diesel Manor install sheet and no change in the way the guage is behaving. It still reads abot 130* first thing in the morning on start-up. While towing, it seems to read normal temps (190-210) but in slower in town conditions can climb above 260*

I 2nd the BF Goodrich Commercial T/A's. Just replaced Goodyear marathons that were 4+ years old on the 5er. Had the BFG's balanced also. The tires run cooler than the Goodyears and I don't see NEAR the sidewall flex when observing them in the mirror while driving. Still need to replace those...

I'm not fond of the smart key either. I keep a "dumb key" in my wallet and another smart key hidden inside my truck. Sure, the alarm goes off if you don't use the remote to unlock it, but at least I can get in, then use the xtra in the truck to get me home. I find that the buttons on the remote...

HBarlow, Thanks for the link. Looks like a nice piece. Will look into them before I make my own!

HBarlow, After your comment about Dexter axles being American made I took a close look at mine on my Jayco toyhauler and noticed the equalizers have "Dexter" cast into them on one side & CHINA cast on the other. I found this very disappointing. Since I own a machine shop, I think I will be...

Just returned from a week in the Black Hills SD. ) 08 Mega cab, 4x4, dually, 6sp auto, 3. 73 gears, 40' toyhauler and winds in every possible direction, average speed 65-70 MPH and got a low of 8. 0 MPG & high of 8. 5 MPG hand calculated. Pretty much the same mileage as my old 02 PS with the 7...

Mine has a similar shudder that I would suspect is convertor related. Mine occurs if I let off the throttle lightly while at crusing type speeds then gently roll back in the throttle to accelerate. The truck actually jerks noticably. The harder the transition from coasting to acceleration, the...
