Re: The dreaded 0299 code ouch!

I never had a turbo issue within 90K miles and when they pulled it, the shop said it looked good. I quit having EGR and injector issues after I started using cetane booster. Can't say that the additive is why but it stays in the tank these days even though I have a new turbo.

You live somewhere dry.
My young turbo actuator ring (if that is what it is called) corroded. No carbon build up. I attribute that to EGR delete, fuel treatment and driving it hard, probably causing the demise of my headgasket

Re: The dreaded 0299 code ouch!

Being around diesel boats for many years, it was instilled in me to make sure diesel generators were always loaded. So, even if just needing to charge batteries, the water maker or another heavy load would also be run to put load on the generator and it was run for at least 30 mins.

Sounds like the same for the diesel van engines? Part of why I am hesitant to change gearing.

Dave, your van is heavily loaded all the time and you use it a lot, I think that makes a difference.
