Message: [QUOTE="Holland73, post: 1464662, member: 28428"] Hello all got a new to me 2011 black f250 Fx4 130k miles . My first diesel got it about 2 months ago. First a little story about my experience so far. When I bought it the stealership gave me a decent deal could of been better but could have been much worse. Anyways test drove it crawled under it and checked it out everything looked okay. Motor was strong and quiet. Carfax showed owned by a company and it was serviced every 5k miles. Inside was dang near perfect. So I bought the truck and was so very excited. An hour into the drive home and the CEL came on (my heart and stomach sunk). Pulled over couldn't hear anything weird, it still had plenty of power. So I drove it home hooked up my obd2 Bluetooth adapter and ran the code on torque. It said exhaust gas recirculation insufficient. Okay so clogged EGR. I was pretty upset but not bad cause I was planning on putting it on a diet anyways. So 3 weeks later I did it. Got a ez lynk from GDP tuning and love the power. I've been running it on 100hp tune but probably going to go back to the 50hp. Feels like I get better MPG. So the few questions I have are. 1. Are the glow plug breaking off or valve dropping (everyone has different opinions on what goes first) as rampant as the forums make it seem? 2. Is their anything I can do to pro long the turbo? I know running hot tunes dont help. I run archoil in the oil and the fuel for that matter. 3. What about EGTs. On the 100hp tune under WOT it hits 1400 pretty easily is this to hot even though the probe is right on the manifold?
