Hi,
I finally deleted the truck on Friday after owning it for 3 years. 120,000 km hasn't skipped a beat other then leaving me stranded north of Fort Mac last week due to a def fault. Had it towed to the dealer in Fort Mac, they charged me 400 bucks to reset it, few days later def fault again. I bought the SCT tuner a while back with the 25hp single tune from a decent tuner who has been mentioned several times on the forums and face book. Before the tune there has been no engine related problems; it has had a normal Alberta life plugged in when colder then -15C etc.
3 out of 4 cold starts once deleted it starts like a pile of junk. Smokes black, struggles to idle. By cold starts, ambient temps are around -5C in Edmonton, truck easily would have started at these temps before being deleted. Truck continues to run rough until I shut it off, about 45 seconds max I let it go. Then start again and everything is fine. I only removed the DPF and SCR, didn't touch anything under the hood, so no EGR block off plate or unplugging anything.
This happen to anyone? I haven't reached out to the tuner yet which is why I haven't named them... but its one of the well known ones from Alberta.
