    Take it to someone with a computer and the software to plug in to it.

    You didn't have that at the dealer before you bought it to get the whole picture of what you are buying?

    I didnt buy it from the dealer. I bought it from a friend, but he doesnt know either. He bought the truck from someone else.

    Look I will be a little mean here, you don't buy without checking it out, taking it to a dealer or some place to have a dyno done on it, an ecm dump and have a mechanic look it over. It don't matter if you buy it from a freind or not, it is a tool to use to make money with so it has to work right all the time from the start. This would have saved you problems later on with issues like this.

    i understand what your saying. Was a mistake that had cost me some money. But over here in the East Coast its hard to find a dyno. Now im just trying to figure it out to put it to work

    I get it but there are dynos all over the east coast, more than there are here.

    I just wish you and others wouldn't have to go through this crap.

    I have a guy over here that bought a truck from his brother, his brother screwed him so bad he ended up doing an inframe and a new trans, the truck drove great when he took it for a test drive but when he put it under a load, all kinds of crap happened, it lasted three weeks and had it broke down in rural Indiana under load. I helped him get it back to my yard, had my mechanic looked at it when he was down there and told him all kinds of bad news that could have been avoided.

    Check egr tubes on right side of engine off egr should be cool all time if done with a kit will have a small box mounted somewhere in engine compartment that plugs in on left side of engine with two plugs under and behind alternator to replace egr plugs also a small cooling tube on top front of egr cooler will be bypassed and egr temp sensor front bottom of egr cooler will be bypassed
