Yeah, even I'll admit that that was a bit of "overreach". I do wish we'd kept Santa Fe though. 'Wouldn't be a San Francisco wannabe these days.

I would be all over this. My mechanic said EPA was crawling up everyone’s butt.



My personal property, I can do whatever the F I want. Diesel do not emit carbon and the “DEF solution” will have a huge impact if you can’t get DEF, which is why they have required it.



I was one of those people, and found this jewel:

Nice color.

whoa, Whoa, WHOA! You take that back ForeSkinner!
Yes, UT gets a better recruiting class each year but they underperform...just like a broken down DEF diesel.

Foreskinner

UT sucks. Gig'em Aggies!

Update as of 5 PM Thursday, ten days into it. Ford is expecting a shipment from the parts manufacturer 05/23. They did not say how many they were expecting to come in which, well, is important as I am # 201 on the nationwide wait list. Once it gets to Ford on 05/23, we then get the opportunity to wait for them to ship it to New Barnflies at which time the repair will be performed. Not sure what I am gong to do if only 200 are supplied.

Remember peoples, this is a warrantied item. They get to pay for it. Deleting it at this time makes little, if any, sense to me.

You've been broke down for 10 days. It will break down again, and potentially leave you stranded on the side of the road. Deleting it, makes all this go away from now on. Look past the money side and look at the long term reliability.

Only two times when I look past the money side:

1). When hot & thirsty and desiring a beer

2). When dealing with Wifeypoo

Lol, Oklahoma panhandle is closer stretch then Santa Fe. I’ve shot elk and pronghorns I’ve watched cross the border. Elk headed south, Pronghorns headed north

D

Smart man. ^^^^^^^*

I guess when it breaks down with wifeypoo in it then you’ll fix it correctly?

Don't go there, please don't go there.

What’s the warranty limit on DPF?

They told me 150K

I have had non vehicle diesels that were over 6000 hours on them that were still like new. But they were older ones without emissions crap.

And or 10 years for DEF pump/heater

I had to pay for def heater replacement on my 2014 when it had 145k. Had received a recall notice a few months before, but was already past the max mileage of 120 k if I remember correctly.

That’s not a far stretch for even vehicle Diesel engines. Mines at 4671 right now. I’m sure a lot of the hot shot guys can smoke that number pretty quickly

Delete...

I went from 14-16 mpg to 20-22 mpg and have had zero issues.

Also, inspection people can fail it if they notice however none them give a crap about that..

Same with GM. We can't get stuff like we should. If it's a Federal tamper part, the GM truck will eventually refuse to go over 4 MPH if not serviced so you can't just drive and wait for the part to come in.

Costs over $10K to delete a 2020+ L5P.

I just put a $3500 DPF on a 2017...but that's what you get when you drive the thing into the ground ignoring the messages on the dash.

In nearly 21 years at the same GM shop I have only seen two DMax's replaced. Once was wrecked.

Just got recall/settlement letter in the mail, pretty sure its 150k and 10 years on DEF heater, but I’m not at home. If you already had it replaced they will reimburse the costs also. Mine is a 15 so I don’t know all years involved but I’d guess 14-16

I replaced first one on this truck at 75k out of pocket

That ‘14 is long gone, but I’d like to get that letter. I’m sure I could find the receipt for the DEF heater I paid for.

$4500 with my guy. The new GM’s require a new computer which is why the cost is so high.
