I'll bet they didn't talk about egr valve failure's, turbo actuators going South, egr cooler's sending coolant into the intake manifold. And when the turbo actuator starts sticking, they will cause the engine to backfire, and sound like a tire blowing out, happened to me up by Calgary AB this year.
cheers, Neil.
They did for sure talk about everything you mentioned especially egr failure and egr coolers dumping coolant into the dpf and wiping it out and then it costs you $10k for all new....no thank you the new trucks are unreliable and killing everyone's profit who bought one. I'll stick to the old reliable ones.
