No article for me either...

Just to clarify, sometimes when the wait to start light came on there may or may not be a code. The engine check light and code P0244 only showed up after I returned the truck to stock. The wait to start light still would come on periodically and could be cleared with the Smarty. Regardless, the...

I've been fighting the same problem with my '06. My "setup" is: Boost and Pyrometer pillar gauges Cold air intake Straight pipe Air pre-heat delete Smarty Jr. set to Performance. All worked well for over a year when the wait to start light would come on under the following conditions: Hard...

My '06 has a similar problem. The boost gauge maxes out under 20 and it used to go to over 30. Basically it's in limp mode. All filters are changed at regular intervals and I religiously use Howe's in the fuel tank. Injectors are good and I've narrowed it down to either the waste gate solenoid...

Definitely had those concerns but once mine went out of warranty I have a friend who is a diesel mechanic (he has a RAM Turbo Diesel) and he does the work for me for a lot less money and better quality than the dealerships. As far as the wash goes, I would have told the dealership about it and...
