With under 30K on my turbo, I'll stick my head in the sand and say that the lag is the inhereint part of owning a 6.0L. However, should I get around to an EGR delete, I'll do it then.

The bulletin said that if you're 03 has the 06E17 recall the VGT learn procedure will need to be preformed. Anyone know what this procedure is, or how to tell if 06E17 has been incorporated into my early '03?

Excessive idling, and slow drivers only compound the problems with the stuck vanes. The 07 turbos have a groove or ring machined in to prevent buildup of this issue, but I bet it still happens.

 

yeah the diesels do need to get opened up every once in awhile

 

Especially with guys who never tow... like me. Never really get a good load on the motor. My skinny pedal and me are best friends. My rear tires don't like me so much though.

 

i know the feeling, i get a good 18k behind mine every other week though

 

I'm on my 4th set of tires and I just rolled 63k miles. I'd say I keep her cleaned out pretty well.

 

ha damn, yeah i'd say so, you must do A LOT of burnouts

 

Ya I have had EGR and Vane Sticking problems havnt got around to the EGR delete yet but when i do it will Be RIVER CITY DIESELs delete kit and also have any of you tried the little spring that you put in your top fuel filter housing suppose to stop injector failur due to low fuel pressure i put it in about 30000miles ago and havnt had injector problems since

 

Its the 3rd post down on the "aftermarket" section of the 6.0 here... full write up about the Gillette fuel spring.
