Diesel Truck Shiat - Per Cook's Request...

[Shaggy]

I'm broke down with my dodge waiting on a wrecker right now. I was hauling a load back to the plant and started loosing power. I still had power in the first half of throttle but if pushed further rpms drop. I ran that way for a few miles and then made a turn. Only made it a few hundred yards before it died on my. Either my turbo went out or my exhaust is clogged up. Either way I had to drop the load and have someone else grab it while I sit here for the tow truck to pick it Up. I have no time for this right now. They better give me a loaner or I'll be stuck driving my very tired '01 chevy 2500hd yard truck.

Still under warranty?

No black smoke? Probably not the turbo if not. May be a clogged fuel filter or air filter if you have power in the lower RPMs.

I would bet a clogged fuel filter. I know on the chevy the computer will go into limp mode if the fuel filter is clogged because the fuel rail pressure will drop too much. code is something along the lines of low fuel rail pressure or fuel rail pressure not what expected

All filters replaced 1700 miles ago. Although I looked at fuel filter and it was dirty as hell. I'll grab a new one in the morning. Also my fuel sending unit is out so it might be out of fuel also.

You just need 1 bad tank to plug it. I had one get plugged on the way to Clayton this year, only had about 3000 miles on it. Usually change them every 50k or so.

My buddy got some bad fuel while we were headed back to huntsville, ruined a filter he had changed that weekend

additional maintenance costs 14 years/350k, never got a bad tank of gasoline

Every tank of gasoline these days is a bad tank

Anybody have the dp tuner? If so what tunes do you have on it and how do you like it? I'm thinking cat delete and an intake with the tuner and that's it.

[Shaggy]

I change it every service. 10k. All my fuel is bought by the truckload. 5 th tank on this filter. No other filters clogged yet from this last load. Guess bad luck. Can't get a new sending unit until Friday so guess if it starts in the morning I'll be fueling daily to make sure I don't run out

That's what I did and definitely recommend it

Tunes:
80-100 hp - this setting will get the best MPG and performance
20-40 hp - good for towing
stock
no start
high idle

Sparling, the DP is an awesome tuner, I run the TS chip and if I was smart when I bought it I would have sent it off to Tony Wildman to have him put his tunes on it. In out of the box form the DP is a lot better, but there are a ton of guys out there with awesome tunes for the TS.

Also for exhaust, look on eBay for kits. I got my 4" turbo back kit that was ready to bolt in for $250.
