So I bought this truck a little while ago. 30000 miles on it. I love the 6.7, towing is unreal with it. Very happy with it. When I bought it I went for the extended warranty. I recently have been having trouble with the truck cutting out when I hit a good bump. Roads suck around where I live. Sometimes it’ll spit a little and be fine, other times it’ll fall on its face and go into limp mode I’m guessing.
I have to put the truck in neutral and turn the truck off, start it back up and it’s fine. It’s done it a couple times and at first I pulled over and put it in park and the truck idled like crap, sounded horrible. Started back up like I said and the truck runs perfect. Sometimes doesn’t throw the CEL light othertimes it will. Turn the truck off for a night and the CEL light is off. I pulled the code and it threw P1291. From the reading I have done it’s def in the fuel or an injector short wiithin the harness. I’m guess it’s a short because out only acts up when I hit a good bump in the road and I certainly haven’t put deff in the fuel tank.
The reason I’m asking about this is because the dealer I went through is kinda @$$hats for working on people’s vehicles. I don’t want to go into the dealer and have them try to pull some bs on me. Am I on the right track with the short in the harness or injector? These motors are so clustered with the egr and what not. I’m glad I opted for the extended warranty but when that’s out I’m ******** this thing and getting some mpd diesel piping under the hood to clean it up. I hate bringing my stuff anywhere to have it fixed.
Looking for some info on the code because like I said, dealer is shifty and I don’t want to get shafted when I bring it in. Enlighten me!
