2015 EcoDiesel with 139k and change. Had the EGR issue covered under warranty. Also went in for a recall at 90K and the tech at the dealer broke some bolt in/on the turbo. They had the truck for 36 days! But I got a new turbo under warranty out of it :). Recently threw a code for open circuit on air ride and I diagnosed the issue and swapped the compressor, all fixed. Also just got a code for glow plug 5 open circuit so planning to replace all 6. Honestly other than the slow response on the throttle when the engine is cold the truck has been great up until a contaminated fuel issue I'm dealing with now but that really isnt the truck. Towed a 6K pound tractor 4 hours each way quite a few times. Towed an bunkhouse RV for a few years. I feel terrible for all the owners on here with engines going bad.

Great to hear that your just working through the issue and actually work on your truck. Good job.

2014 with 100k m/l and am ready to ditch it. Bought it new and has been nothing but headaches. The motor is great, and I put the GDE tune on it after the scandal, but just constant problems all related to the emissions crap. I have a check engine light on right now but just ignoring it since it is just another sensor, and the truck is regenning fine. Tired of having to crawl under it and clean the DEF injector every year too. Now my husband has it out of town with our airboat and we think one of the 4wd hubs is stuck locked. Going to turn off the check engine light and trade it in for a 1/2 ton 4wd gas truck. The dealers are getting desperate now so think it's time for a new truck. Still have our 06 Mega cab 1 ton 5.9 Cummins and 09 Mecedes Sprinter camper Pre DEF diesels I will keep those guys.
