Apparently it was just someone forgot to purge air out of the fuel system and it had an air pocket trapped in the lines. Tech said he purged it and the code went inactive. They ran a full injector battery and fuel rail test and it came back green and no electrical faults so....ill take it.
If the light stays off ill just shrug take the W and move on lol.Rideandrepair, IH Truck Guy, FullMetalJacket and 5 others Thank this. -
Nope check engine again. I think im finding a diffrent dealer. Rush is proving they earned their #### reputation for being slimey.

Well its "fixed" again. Wasnt planning to be back to the same shop that did the injectors but they were the only ones who could see me before next thursday. Anyway and apparently at least according to this rush, the guy who worked on my rig was brand new and just out of school. Also apparently my rig is the first one he has worked on on his own....and supposidly he both forgot to purge my fuel lines and also forgot to update the programming on the injector itself.
So thats "comforting". We will see if the repair takes this time. If so at least its a minor issue. If not im going to have clint route me to nebraska or SD and have a shop i trust work on it.Rideandrepair, D.Tibbitt, broke down plumber and 4 others Thank this. -
Welp i done did it. Ordered an electric APU. My logic is the EPU is $12,000 and between oil fuel ect i spent just shy of $17K just to run my APU. So worst case it sucks and i swap it next year and come out ahead. That and this isx burns about 2 gallons an hour at high idle. So....yea that gets expensive #### fast.

$17k is almost 1/3 of my total fuel bill for 2024. I think electric is leaps and bounds ahead of where they were even a few short years ago.

How did you have time to run your APU that much? Lol. I only ran about 130k, which is more than I wanted to, so my fuel was in the mid $60k range for the year.Rideandrepair, broke down plumber, 77fib77 and 5 others Thank this.
