Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Ok, I'm confused. I got a p0216 code recently at 77,000mi. , I took the truck to the dealership and told them the problem (dead pedal, surging, white smoke when warm, the normal symptoms) they had the truck for about 4 hours and called me saying it was done, they replaced the lift pump ONLY and said the VP was fine. I drove away considering I could have been wrong. I start leaving work and is starts doing it again, I took it back and told them I was getting the same code after they had cleared codes, "they checked it and the VP is fine. " I thought they were jerking me around scared they would get burned on the reimbursement from Cummins. As of now the symptoms haven't returned at all (3 weeks). Should I still worry about it dieing on me?
OK, now down to business. I want twins!!!!! For no real reason other than the sounds they make, just to be able to say that I have them, and the occasional rice burner, mustang, and especially my powerstroke and duramax friends that I would like to embarass and leave in a cloud of smoke.
This truck is my daily driver, so it must remain extremely reliable, fuel economy has to be as good as it is now or close to it, when driven sensibly,(20mpg avg. +/-), and most importantly it has to be driveable, I don't want to have to watch the EGT gauge like a hawk. Normal driving for me is about 70% city (40-55mph avg. ), 25% highway(70-75mph) and 5% towing (almost always through the mountains with a trailer weighing less than 7k lbs. )
I would just like to know what works and what everyone thinks will be the best setup for my application. Everything I need to buy. I would like to keep this as cost efficient as possible but I know that you get what you pay for, so nothing "cheap" unless its cheap and high quality.
Thanks a whole lot in advance.
