#duramax #powerstroke #cummins - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Every time I think about replacing my year 2000 7.3 power stroke I watch one of these videos and the feeling of needing a new truck quickly passes.
I don't know why you would ever want a newer emissions clogged Prius sounding piece of crap truck to begin with... your 7.3 is perfectly fine more likely than not.
Haha same here, still driving my 99 Cummins.
no replace noisy but problem free car. I also have 1996 audi 2.5tdi 5cylinder (actually 442.000) it run with no problem
Same with my 02 and 05 Cummins
Never selling my 12 valve Cummins. 🥰
I’ve come to the conclusion that to keep a reliable truck, when the time comes I’ll take the money that I would have spent on a new one to completely overhaul my LBZ. It’ll be like a new truck and I’ll never have to worry about dealing with emissions.
Well, the ecm is discontinued by gm for one of those. Keep that in mind.
Just did that myself. 2006 Sierra 2500. Performance allison rebuild, pistons were ovaled out after 270,000mi. so new long block, replaced entire fuel system, new turbo, EFI live install addressed the transfer case pump rub issue. All of it for $30k and now I have a new truck!
Keep buying these new truck. With all the luxuries off a Rolls. Buy the older models that do not have all the crap on it your to blame yourself
I agree my wife's excursion is completely re-done with 300k miles but it's practically mint again... like when my mom first bought it... 12k is a pretty good deal over a new truck...
Started working on my dad's farm full time, so I decided that I'll probably need a diesel for myself. After watching his L5P give him such a fit with the DEF tank heater going (whole new tank, not sold in parts), wiring issues, an injector go out, and a whole host of little problems; I've decided to buy an 03 3500 dodge for a grand with a rod knock, switch everything over to a P pump to simplify it, and spend however much to make that a reality, rather then having a 70,000 truck that will depreciate faster then I can blink.
Never selling my 12 valve Cummins, best diesel ever made, had it 23 years now. The paint is flying off it but who cares, it’s unstoppable.
Same
F%$kers are louder than a semi.
Rather paint fly than a piston or 15-20k+ engine rebuild
As long as you take care of that killer dowel pin, youre golden.
I worked at a chevy dealership as a technician for the last 2 years, probably 95% or more of Duramaxs that came in for problems or check engine lights, were because of a component failing in the emissions sytsem, and the repair was rarely ever "Cheap". The government ruined Diesel trucks with their garbage emissions components.
Let's not forget what the government did with something so simple like the gas can and how they ruined those. Now, everytime I use a government approved gas can, I end up spilling fuel on the ground, yet with old ones or modern "Non EPA approved" cans, I dont spill any fuel at all, and it pours out the fuel much faster than the garbage EPA ones.
Have a good collection of old Wedco plastic fuel containers......simple, function well and no spills.
True and fuel has less lubrication. I add lucas and or 2 stroke on my 08 6.4l deleted 170k running strong.
I still love my heavy Chevy
$17k in repairs on my 18 l5p in the last 2 years. All emissions
Yep! The new spickets or spouts leak like gonorrhea. I hate them they are absolute trash! I have never spilt so much fuel in my life as i have with the epa trash.
Like JH Diesel said in one of his videos, if the government is making us keep this emissions crap on our trucks that WE buy, then they should be on the hook to fix anything that goes wrong with the truck emissions wise.
Completely agree.
Thank God I live in texas and not California or New Jersey
Nobody is making you buy a diesel genius.
I don't get why people quote the most stupid statements as if they hold any meaning or logic. It's no different than construction code... these are rules set for the environment and or safety. Suggesting that the government is responsible to pay for it is a child's response. 99% of these clowns with diesel have absolutely no need for it anyway- move to gas like an adult with common sense or deal with the needy girlfriend breakdowns you paid an extra 10 grand for.
Good luck with that
Fairly new to your videos and enjoying them. Not a diesel mechanic and I’m learning things. Thanks for sharing your cross country adventure and mechanical problems. I’m becoming very thankful for my 03 LB7 one ton. It was a camper truck for a 5th wheel owner. When he wasn’t camping it was in the shed. Had 34,000 miles on it the day I bought it. New injectors @ 42,000 miles and it’s been problem free since.
Glad you made it home ok Josh ! Thank God for Ryan ! Everyone should be fortunate enough to have a friend like that !
Hey Josh I just wanna say thank you for everything you do for diesel community! Crazy story on my Duramax, I’ve driven my 06 LBZ since 2019 and that’s about when I became a fan of your channel, it’s currently got under 120k on it, it was bone stock and I built it to my liking, it’s not finished though, they never are.. 😂 I did sell it though to my brother in law briefly back in the beginning of 2022 for another truck that did not work out.. Recently he told me that he was going to buy another house and that he needed to sell it and he gave me the option to buy it back for a good deal, so I did. I feel like I took that beast of a truck for granted and I could not be happier to be back in it! It honestly feels just like the first day I bought it back in 2019. It truly was my dream diesel and a lot of other peoples as well! I appreciate you bringing awareness to the emissions junk on these newer diesel engines, and it all the more makes me proud to be an owner of the sickest generation of the Duramax engine! I’m sorry all this happened to your L5P and I’m glad you and your brother are ok man! Great content as always dude, God bless! 🤙🏻
I'm glad my 97 7.3 powerstroke is still kicking! I couldn't imagine your frustration. Hope you get it all figured out. And thanks for your service! 🇺🇲
Can't beat the older stuff my dad's 04 6.6 is still going strong too say no to that emotions crap
Amen to that, my 03 7.3 6 speed has 310k on her and never acts up,will never buy that new crap just for this reason..those 7.3 never die and love the ketchup line
ALL THE NEW BRANDS ARE JUNK ,, THAT IS WHY EVERYONE DELETINS ALL THAT B.S.
@@SneakySnake-vs6sm I do LOVE my 00 7.3 ZF6 Lariat dually but...some things in the newer trucks are nice. Ride quality, cabin noise, heated/cooled seats, overall look of the interiors, gauges, dual climate control, etc.
Don't get me wrong, my 7.3 isn't going anywhere but it has taken a lot of time/work/$$$ (needs even more) to make her comfy to ride in, have enough technology like BT calling/backup camera, and have the extra HP/TQ needed to make her anything but a snail.
All I do is work on my 2002 f550 7.3
I am glad you made it home Josh may God bless you and your family bud!!
Ya ..dog bless
Glad you got the issues "fixed"
My uncle is about to fix his l5p as well
Great video. I have 6.0 Power stroke and its been nothing but problems. Had a new engine installed and still problems. Its back in the shop and its no fun. Glad your truck is fixed.
Hours after watching your give-a-way truck video my 2018 Denali threw a P1488 code. That is the particulate matter sensor. Wiring and connector look fine so I reset the code with the Derringer and dialed all the power settings back including the PedalMonster and things appear to be ok. So glad you got out of your predicament without serious damage. We're all learning how hard we can push these emission systems before they melt/plug up/fall off.......
Funny. Mine threw a po184 code. Do you know how to fix that. Says it's a temperature censor. Thanks 🙏
Oh it'll come back, just give it some time lol. Start saving your money now.
I thought that was a VW specific code.
Wendell that is a differential pressure sensor. one hose in front of dpf and one behind they detect pressure differences. and yes this is usually the culprit. it gets clogged then sends pcm the wrong information basically will let dpf get clogged without regents. most of the problems i see with dpf is idling. it doesn't get dpf hot enough to burn off the soot i highly recommend running the dog shit out of the new diesels.
Glad you got it back to normal. Hopefully, it doesn't give you any more trouble. Watching your videos talked me into getting a 07 classic body LBZ. It was completely stock and with all your videos I've been trying to fix all the things that didn't get fixed when they should have. I just raptor-lined the entire truck yesterday. 223 thousand miles on it hopefully, it sticks around for a while.
@14:47 You are so right. These older trucks with no DEF/DPF are going to see even more $$$$s on the unused marker. All of my diesels ( 2 trucks and 2 tractors ) are ole school no emissions.
I was at my cat dealer a few week ago and a person had a new skidsteer with DEF issues, the quoted him over 11k for a DEF rebuilt system.
Pre 2007 tractors in decent condition sell for crazy money. We almost got one instead of going new, but the finace rate was to tempting. I wish we weren't in such a bind and I could have took my time to get a good used unit because at 13hrs this one had to go back for warranty repair. I can't trust it, luckily I believe my neighbors would help us get our hay up when it breaks down.
Deisels will sure pull, I'll give you that. Makes me sad to imagine the engines we could have in trucks today if not for the overkill emissions crap. I'll hold on to my 8.1 vortec for as long as i can.
I got an 8.1 as well. Watching this video made me extra grateful for it lol
@@ls1_dreamz I had a 2001 8.1 too, for abought a week, ever sense I've only had the Duramax.
They make diesels look bad. CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER!
Hey Truck Master/Earl/Josh, I feel there's a few things you guys can learn about DEF. DEF does NOT affect the plugged up Diesel Particulate Filter whatsoever. The diesel particulate filter uses a fuel injector that injects fuel directly into the filter that increases the exhaust gas temperature to essentially incinerate the captured soot. Basically the soot is burned at about 1100 degrees Fahrenheit and converts it to ash (which is sometimes noticeable in the form of white smoke coming from the exhaust during regen). That's how the soot is cleaned out of the DPF when everything is working well. The way the computer knows when to clean the filter (regen) is by comparing the readings of 2 pressure sensors. 1 pressure sensor is positioned before the DPF and the 2nd pressure sensor is positioned after the DPF. The computer compares the 2 readings and comes up with a differential pressure which is used to calculate the "grams of soot" that is trapped inside the DPF and when to regen as well.
The melted sensor that you pointed out was merely the 2nd or "downstream" NOX sensor. The DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) is only used to reduce NOX emissions and is injected directly into a separate chamber of the exhaust system and is called the SCR (Selective catalytic reduction). Basically it's a catalytic converter positioned AFTER the diesel particulate filter. The 1st NOX sensor is placed just before or "upstream" of the SCR and is compared by the computer to check if the DEF and SCR are indeed reducing the NOX level being pushed out the tailpipe.
This doesn't mean that the SCR cannot get plugged ALSO, but the DEF cannot cause the DPF to malfunction and not clean itself properly.
Personally I firmly believe that the PULSAR tuning accessory is to blame. It plugs right into the original computer and changes the way it operates to get more power and torque. There's a bug in the programming or it's just not getting the proper signals to and from the emissions system. Hardware or software, I'd bet money that the PULSAR module and tuning caused ALL of the emissions system issues on the journey.
Long time subscriber here and I truly enjoy your content! I was happy for the winner of the truck giveaway even if slightly, no... totally jealous!
I hope you don't have any more issues with your Denali. It's a powerful beast and a dang good looking truck!
Thanks for the exciting content! I was anxiously awaiting the outcome and praying for the best possible 🙏
Would have never happened with out the emissions tumor
Question about the fuel injector that injects diesel into the dpf, i know on my powerstroke it uses the engine injector(s) and just activates them during the exhaust stroke of the piston(s) idk which or if all but I wondered if in the past or different manufacturers literally use an "auxiliary" injector that is in the exhaust pipe before the DPF?
Also it was such a joy when towing the fifth wheel watching the DPF% work itself to 0% passively. When working these trucks put out enough heat to just burn the soot out without regen.
Had the same thought about the tuner. Banks did a review on it and said running that tuner would be regen city. nothing in that tuner to control boost just adds more fuel.
@@foxbraap6373 yes it was a thing to inject diesel on the exhaust stroke of the last cylinder. However this has become a thing of the past because it lead to washing of the cylinder wall and causing engine failures from lack of lubrication. Now they use a separate injector right behind the turbo on the downpipe
Glad you got it sorted out. Thanks for the whole video montage on your adventure. High flow bundle kit in its future? That would be nice to see on your other channel.
I really appreciate the video. My cousin has a GMC Duramax, not sure of the year. I think it is 2019 with approx. 31K miles. I shared this video with him just in case he decides to keep it. I bought a 2006 F350 King Ranch from him a couple of months ago with a 6.0 Powerstroke, 151K miles. I know it has had head studs/gaskets and EGR replaced, but I need to get it in someplace for a thorough inspection and upgrades to make it "live".
I am looking forward to seeing all your videos. Thanks again! from Ohio
I am so glad I have a F250 7.3 which doesn't require DEF. However it is great to see that you have a great mechanic which helped you with the problem and was willing to share the info with all of us.
It wont be long before a total ban on non DEF diesel happens.
You definitely need to do a weight reduction operation on your truck Josh even if you never let us know.
To many regens have melted def sensor. Scangauge 3 does amazing job notifying you about dpf soot and when it’s in regen
glad you got her fixed up and made it home safe! i 100% agree with all you said..
I had 18 3500 duramax never had this issue. Excellent truck loved the power. Retired didn't want the payment, sold it for a hefty price and went with a low mile 06 ram 3500 5.9, runs awesome.
Glad to see you made it home safe love the videos keep them coming!
Glad you got her fixed. I agree doesn’t matter the brand it’s the emissions that kill these trucks. I want a new diesel so bad but I am turned off by that such thing. Deleting is a no go where I live and I don’t want to deal with that every year. Awesome video! Adrian
Everyone should blame the epa when they drive junk.
If you want a new diesel but cannot get a delete, don’t do it. It’s not worth it. You will have a headache once the check engine light comes on.
If you can delete it. DO IT. It will outlast you.
I glad you got it fixed at a reasonable cost. I glad I kept my 2000 7.3l dually instead of upgrading a few years back.
Man I love my 92 Dodge Cummins truck. She's getting painted in September. It runs perfectly and the body's in great shape, just the hood and roof but it's getting sanded to bare metal and done right. I'm going to try to get the truck to look as good as it runs and keep it that way!
Glad the truck is back in top shape again and you finally made it back home safe. Whether you do some "weight reduction" or not now still love the truck and channel.
Great vids bro unfortunate situation but blessed to see it all back together. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
I'm glad you an everyone and truck included are ok and like you said I love my 04 LB7 with 136,000 miles
Should be a class action lawsuit against the EPA For destroying our Diesel engines. it’s not right!!!
Lost all my emissions in a boating accident, Got me up to 25-26 mpg on average tho!🤣👊🏻
😍 so glad to see it running strong I'm still learning and love seeing these videos
Mines the lm2
I sure am enjoying the fact that I have a 7.3 powerstroke right now every time I watch videos like this. I'm glad I never bought into the idea that newer diesel trucks are great trucks because they're far from it.
‘01
7.🌲
Running on used cooking oil, and used motor oil
I own a 2001 f250 with 380,000 Miles on same engine and transmission I just keep it maintained regularly and using motorcraft filter and still running like a champ!!!!!
My 2013 Ram is a beast after I misplaced a few parts. God bless Florida.
My 2008 6.4 has 312,000 miles and no issues when I was in Mexico on Vacation some of the parts were stolen, but I haven't noticed any problems except much better mileage.
@@rondye9398 yes those are good also
But have to maintain it very well and use motorcraft filters
Had that problem on one of our Cummins x-15s and the Peterbilt didn't want to burn off, after all said and done everything from the turbo back was replaced 23,000 all for a little def sensor that didn't want to cooperate.
Glad you got it fixed I want to cut all that emissions crap off my Cummins but I can’t still under warranty, I miss my 06 duramax she was probably the best truck I ever owned.
Those emmissions cause more problems than they are worth. They also create more garbage than they prevent.
I have owned 3 Duramax's, presently own a 2018 w/ 43k on it, no major issues so far. Seriously considering a Chevy/GMC 6.6ltr gasser. friend traded in his 2018 D'max for the new 6.6 gas, loves it and no difference in towing his camper through the hills of NM and West TX!!!
43 year old truck here, not once has my cel or emissions light came on. Original smog pump system still working.
Love your videos happy to see you made it home safe ryans diesel service to the rescue!!! Ryan’s an awesome guy for helping you out!!!
Also do you think the pulsar helped clog it up I just ordered one and now I’m on the fence they told me only to running around in two or three or else that could happen?!!!?
We have emissions on our work trucks and they are literally in the shop every year multiple times for plugged dpf systems
I have a 2014 LML, I use a reprogrammed ScanGauge to monitor the soot load. I find at 42 grams it goes into Regen mode and drops to about 5 grams. The truck has no indication on the instrument panel to tell you when you are in regen or soot load.
I'm glad my 1999 7.3 is still going strong. I bought it brand new and I have taken care of it as I do with everything I own.
FYI
When dealing with a restricted DPF and stuck on the side of the road, we just disconnect the flange at the down pipe or somewhere before the DPF. Leave it hanging enough for the engine to run and get it off the road.
Plus when you have a plugged DPF need to know what caused the premature soot loading of the DPF.
Looks like you figured it out!
Or just remove the dpf
I work on heavy trucks and most of the trucks that have regen issues like face plugging…. It’s usually due to maintenance…. Old fuel filters…. Old intake air filters…. Incomplete combustion. Over filling of oil and oil burning….. short trips …. Turning off during regen….. or idling to much…. Usually there is something that causes these issues
For some reason, in your first video of this issue, I questioned your dpf. And I was told " nope, no way" and look here. It was your dpf
You're absolutely right, when the government bailed out the auto manufacturers in '08, part of the settlement forced them to accept absurd levels of particulate emissions thus the evolution of DEF systems. They've done their best to deliver diesel powered vehicles that conform but ultimately, they're saddled with additional systems that make us all more dealer dependent and cost prohibitive on a long term basis. It's a real shame as once unleashed from these performance choaking regulations, modern diesel engines can make extraordinary power, last forever with great mileage and still be environmentally friendly.
Just keep this in mind when the Government baled them out they had to pay back plus interest, it wasn't a free bale out!!!
Obama is still screwing us all over. 😂
Yeah who cares if the earth is 50% desert in a hundred years
@@stevenstair1068 gm was forgiven quite a bit gm and dems in bed together
@@glenwarren4351 and they paid all loans plus interest in record time!!!
2007 LBZ all stock and original just regular maintenance and Hot Shots fuel additive. 270K and still running good.
Not going to lie i was going to keep the truck 100% stock but after reading the forms and watching videos on this stuff. There might be a huge speed bump that drops some stuff on the ground 👀
Glad you’re closer to home my guy. Glad you’re truck didn’t melt down
If it was me truckmaster I take big red an strip it down an make it bulletproof and get rid of the L5P and never worry about def again stay safe my guy love you’re channel
@@jamesherald5050 what would he haul his trailer with??
@@JustACarGuyyy he can haul the trailer with any truck he got
@@jamesherald5050 yea but all the other truck would ride way worse and get way worse gas mileage
You dodged a BIG Bullet ! And, Ryan'S connections with his contacts also saved your exhaust system and particulate filter ...hoo rahh !
Both my 2016 and my 2020 duramax required DEF system replacements on some level within the first few months of ownership. I love the trucks but the emissions systems reek of planned obsolescence and deterrents for purchasing.
Glad to see everything worked out man Duramax looking good as always
I’d sue the EPA for damages caused by their regulations to your vehicle and attorney fees along with towing costs.
@@BlackSuburban if it’s proven by a third party that it’s caused by EPA emissions restrictions. He has a legal leg to stand on.
@@Blacked_OutMedia Oh please. In order to sue the Federal Government, they have to agree to be sued unless you can prove the suit would fall under the Federal Tort Claims Act. This would not be covered by that Act. Secondly, the cost to sue the Federal Government would be about 100 times any money you could recover from them for having a truck break down. I just love Internet lawyers who think suing is easy, and cheap...
@@buckhorncortez not true. You can file a suit against anyone or org. Considering I have 3 lawyers in my close family I have some clue what I’m talking about. Granted you wouldn’t get much IF you were to win, it would still be a stick to the feds no matter what.
Good luck with that!
Rather than going after the gubermint, go after the individual that originally came up with the idea that causes your problems!
Same shit happened to my Colorado diesel but 3 times. Mine was under warranty though. Last time to the dealer it sat for a month. I told them if they can’t fix it that they were buying it back. They ended up flying in an engineer from the factory. They replaced the entire exhaust system the DEF nozzle and I think a pump. also reflashed the ECM so it would regen more often. Knock on wood has been fine since.
Glad you got it figured out and it wasn't as catastrophic as anticipated.
Sounds like the issue was more related to wiring, sensors, or the DEF injector than it was anything else, unless the DPF clogged so bad that it caused the meltdown of the others.
Ya it’s the dpf filter a useless pain in the ass the government “thinks” will help a “problem” that they are making 10 times worse with electric vehicles it’s all so they can make money off the people don’t think they actually care about the enviornment
My 2016 has been running perfectly even with a tune over 100k now. Filters work best when stored on a shelf in the basement 😆
Good thing you brought it to a great shop 🍻
I'm definitely keeping my truck I learned a few things today 2003 Sierra LB7 307,449 and counting
Thanks for documenting your trip and not stopping when your truck (emissions) decided to make life challenging. Your experience has given me other potential things to consider/rule out for why my ‘14 LML continues to “eat” DEF tank heaters which have left me stranded twice on long trips towing a trailer. Good thing I know how to change that on the side of the road/ auto parts store parking lot now. Haha.
I have the same the edge monitor. So glad to have it for the alerts so I can do the same thing you did with searching for certain codes when while on the road.
Looking forward to the next new video.
God Bless Ryan and the whole crew , true pros
I have no computer Josh
Another reason i keep my old 7.3 around. plus being a heavy diesel mechanic I deal with this junk every day 95 percent of the calls i go to are emission related problems. plus now the parts are on back order no telling when they will be around. just another way the government is taking these trucks off the road.
Ryan's Diesel is the BOMB, Great Service.
I've pulled a dpf filter off a Mack that plugged so bad it actually pushed the filter element 3 inches out of its housing, the job costed something like 10Gs
An engine flush would be a good idea after all of that soot getting backed up in your engine
eww it thins your oil.
better off just switching to a new full synthetic, running it a bit, then changing :O
07 lbz. Only check engine light ever was for glow plugs a few times.
Every time I hear this emission nightmares,the more I Love mi 92 first gen Cummins it's been very reliable,I also own a 2002 ford f250 with a 7.3 bought it new now has 286,000 miles still no problems except CPS.
i am just thankful your home .... the last thing i knew you were stuck who knows where .... thank you for doing these videos
My LB7 is still running great, and I have had people hand me their phone number and say.."Whenever you want to let it go, call me first, I'll pay whatever you want." I'll never sell it.
Hey!!
There's the scammer!! The fake site guy!!
Man that sucks. Yes it will happen again and like you is why I love my 99 cummins as well!!
I had my truck 2022 Duramax Throw a code for clogged DPF in just a few thousand miles, Quote from the dealer was that GM had a "Required SW Update for the Regen System on the 2022s that needed to be completed" After Manual Regen and SW update, I have not had an issue with it since.
You mention that the truck would not do a regen. How long had that been happening? These newer diesel engines will not run too long if they can't regen to burn out the particulates. First time I ran into this at work, the truck had ran over 600 miles with the warning light on. Toasted everything from the turbo to the muffler. Glad to see it worked out well in the end.
A back pressure gauge might be useful to have so you can stay on top of this.
Forgot to mention a water meth kit will keep the emission system healthy.
Is any of the emissions issues partially due to the mods done to it for added power….style of driving?? I’ve know people with 2008-2015 Duramax’s with over 200K miles and never had any issues with any emissions equipment
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, like maybe the tune is pushing too much soot into the system
agree 100%. Was it the tune he did to it, melted wires, or a sensor that went bad? Will we ever know? Does his wife need 1000 hp to pick up groceries and the kids?
Probably a fault of something else. Even with intact tuning these emissions systems should last 100-200k
I think I was right. Faulty 9th injector for dpf cleaning. Could have happened on a stock truck imo
@@mikefurr5281 yes...yes she does!!!
Other channels and forums on this topic will mention how fuel and oil quality can impact emissions. Many say that poor quality fluids create more ash and can cause the DPF to do more regens. And with the Ford and Cummins injecting fuel on the exhaust stroke, cylinder wash can also be a problem. Don't cut corners on maintenance intervals and always use quality fluids. (Stock, or not, applies equally.)
I own a '04 LB7. I LOVE IT. I'm surprised that you got 24MPG towing that trailer. I used to tow a artic fox (heavy!). I got 22MPG. I forgot to take it out of over drive. It has a good strong transmission. That's a beautiful truck you have.😊
I think ATS diesel has a weld on kit that allows you to cut the DPF apart and service like a semi and bolt it back in.
Clicked on it as soon as I saw it great vids truck master!
Questions (since I see a lot of performance mods on this truck listed in the channel description): 1) about how much more HP/TQ is this truck producing over stock? 2) what tune are you running (I assume a custom tune, and if so, by what shop)? 3) how much coal does this truck roll on hard acceleration? 4) How many miles on the truck when this happened (I assume the DPF was stock, never before cleaned)? Thanks!
I kinda like my 92 Ford F350 7.3L IDI .... No BS straight up diesel although I do realize not as clean as a modern diesel ...
I have two 6.9 IDI's don't care if they're clean or not. They keep going and going and always get the job done
You should actually keep it stock, us guys can use the updates and tips along the way. Me personally I have a ford 6.0, but I have a lot of friends with duramax engines that love talking to people with tips here and there. Love your channel sir, and a great big thank you for your service to our great nation!!!!
There is only 1 tune I want for my 5th gen 6.7 cummins. +30 hp Software tune. Makes the truck drive better and it doesn't eat DEF as much. I don't need 200 HP. I already have 850 torque (Non-HO).
I was assuming the 9th injector was bad and it wasn't able to burn hot enough to complete a regen. The def injector doesn't effect the dpf soot. It just lowers the nox ppm in the exhaust gas. But if a sensor is bad then I guess it could tell it to dump a bunch a def into the exhaust
I drive a transit bus for a living and they have Cummins motors. One bus will use 1 gallon of def for 34 gallons of fuel another will use 4 gallons def for the same amount of fuel. It's wierd never understood that. Never been in limp mode or had any issues still waiting.
This is why I went with a gasser on my 2500 hd. Just not worth the headache for as much as I tow.
We got a 2021 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax , we just got the Reduced Engine Power , Clean Exhaust Filter warning on the Dash .
Did some Research , got a code P2463 Found Out DPF is Clogged,
Its the weekend now and Got a car on the trailer to take to Spokane on Monday , but now need to find a Diesel Service to unclog the dam Soot... 🙃 ... ayee , what a weekend . Lol.. Good Luck Everyone 👍🏼
Keep up good work stay positive and keep good content coming great to have great friends and family
I'd love to do an executive order that in all 50 states that for an additional $500 for personal and an additional $1500 for commercial for registration fee's you can strip all of this emissions crap of your car, truck or SUV and not have regen of DEF or any of that BS like Diesel vehicles prior to 08 or whenever that crap was made mandatory. Those fees would remain in place for 10 years for personal and 15 for commercial from the model year so the first truck you can do for only parts and labor.
I’ve got a 2008 gmc 3500 duramax. The issue I had is mouse built a nest in the air filter and screwed up the burn cycle. Easy fix at the dealer.
I deleted my 2012 LML in 2016 because the GM dealer wanted to replace the whole exhaust system for $9k they were so incompetent in trying to find the problem to correct limp mode after having the truck for a week, and multiple regeneration on the filter they gave up and said it needed a whole new system. Cost me less than $2k to install Motor Ops tow tune, and transmission tune, and new exhaust pipes. Since then I’m still getting 16.5 litres per hundred km, it used to get 21.5 before the delete. Glad you got it fixed, btw, awesome looking truck.
I’d highly recommend using Better Diesel fuel borne catalyst. I’ve been using it in my 2013 Freightliner for several years and haven’t had any emission issues. It burns more of the soot in the combustion chamber at a lower temperature. I’ve only been having one to two regents per month.
I think since the EPA won't allow you to delete it then GM and the EPA should have to pay for you to fix it problem solved.
The company truck that my Dad drives is a 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually Work Truck, it had the same issue with the sensor melting preventing it from being able to do a regen. It’s been fixed & other than that it’s been a great truck thus far not giving many other issues with it, it’s also got over 300k miles on it too. They also rotate between 3 other trucks being a 2019 F350 Dually XL, a 2009 Silverado 3500 Dually Work Truck, & a 2005 Chevy 3500 Dually Work Truck. The 09 has given them the most issues due to the computer system it has, the other trucks have been great. The 05 is just due to old age things are starting to break on it from what he’s told me.
I've had two emissions duramaxs 2011, 2019 neither had any dpf issue, that being said I live in the country , no stop and go , always doing 75-80kmh at the minimum, I use it to pull and haul whatever , but most of all I don't idle it. I get it hot , run it and shut it off , change the oil every 5000km never had any issues.
Does the pulsar have something to do with the build up of soot?
At what mileage on your rig did this happen? I have over 137k on my 2019 L5P, and never had an emissions related issue. Lift pump at 80k, fuel rail pressure sensor and connector at 96k and that is it.
This guy is running a tuner on his truck. All the additional power is made by adding a lot more fuel. More Fuel = More Soot. All into an exhaust system not designed for that. Seems common sense to me.
I think I saw it was just under 100k in one of the videos.
@@HHBomb74 you might be on to something.
Deleted my new Ram 2500 at only 7,500 miles. Best mod ever. Warranty is long expired and never had no need of my warranty.
I had white smoke coming out of my exhaust like that a few years ago with my 2010 6.4L Poweerstroke and it was my Fuel Pump. Luckily I only had to drive it 2 miles to the shop in limp mode and had it back on the road the next day.
Any problems the engine have with 'breathing' are going to be magnified by the thinner air at higher elevations. Especially above 8000 feet. But I've driven through the pas west of Denver a few times. It hits 13,000 feet. With a clogged DPF, it's going to to be hard going. With less air going through, there's more soot, and it becomes a never ending vicious circle.
Dad's truck has a water electrolizer kit in it, and it breaks water into hydrogen and oxygen. Both are added to the intake. Last time I drove through the mountains, I went through Roger's Pass in BC. I went flying through that with no trouble, while a lot of other vehicles were unable to make the speed limit.
He was on I-70. The highest elevation on I-70 is the Eisenhower Tunnel at 11,158 feet. Vail Pass is 10,666.
Modern diesel engines can account for changes in air density and adjust fuel delivery to maintain the air-fuel ratio, so nothing you said has any validity. Soot is nothing more than unburnt fuel, so if the air-fuel ratio is maintained, there is no increase in soot. Will there be a loss in power? Absolutely, but less so for turbocharged engines, which all modern diesels are.
Water electrolizer kit? Snake oil. Unless you can provide scientific testing results and explain the theory on how it works to improve....combustion?
@@mx3727 LMFAO. Ok, if that's how it happens in your world.
@@ng-ht1vx How what happens? Soot? Electronic engine controls? Exactly what are you talking about???
Glad you got the truck fixed and made it home! If I’d have won that truck you wouldn’t have had to deliver that far away…just sayin 😂
Truck isnt fixed.. its a problem for life with it....just saying...
I sliced up my f factor runnin thru a similar p diff while truckin on only 45 rods in the pass. so don’t feel bad man!
Yea Im in the market for a new work truck and I wont even look at anything over 2007, I have a 2010 Chevy Silverado LT and that AFM/DOD and emissions shit is all that has given me problems out of the truck. I want a turbo diesel. Just went and test drove a nice 2006 6.0 powerstroke but after about 30 minutes of the test drive it started to smoke from under the hood. Glad I learned my lesson many moons ago to give the trucks a good test drive, interstate/highway, shift through all gears, get on it a bit. Test everything and check under the truck everywhere. Wont get got this time. Thanks for sharing your experience.
