OK, made it back home. Total trip 1229 miles in 6 days divided by 62.976 gallons of fuel and that works out to 19.5 mpg - not too shabby! Had one tank on the way home, all interstate, 70 mph with one stop off looking for some food got a little over 21 mpg on that tank. The tank of fuel...

On mine the gasket appears to be two very thin, metallic gaskets...and they were stacked together on the exhaust side before I inserted the blocker plate. They are really hard to see.

Yes, on the firewall/exhaust side.

If you read my other thread you know that I'm on vacation in the mountains of North Georgia. Trip coming up here, I-75 70mph all the way, three adults and two teenage kids, all of our gear/suitcases and a half bed of firewood - truck was absolutely stuffed - averaged 19.2 mpg. I figured once...

Even though I didn't expect to find a problem with the connections (they were all soldered) I checked em anyway...all was good. Even though the nuts were tight on the plate it still appears to have a small leak - a little soot/dark spot on the exhaust side of the blocker plate edge. So far...

shouldn't the blocker plate prevent the 402 code? I wouldn't think it would see excessive flow when it's blocked off...other than a wiring fault on the finger stick.

OK. finally got around to installing the plate and FS. Completed it this past weekend and headed out to north GA on vacation(where I'm at right now). About 200 miles in to the trip, CEL came on, read the codes at the next stop - p0402 and p0403. I soldered all connections but I'm going to...

OK, finally got around to pulling the egr motor...thing is spotless and the actuator moves nice and smooth. The plunger (EGR valve) that you see inside after removing the motor, it was clean on the side I can see...I would imagine the other(inside) is gunked up...but I pressed it in and it...

In my Dmax yes, my 6.5? - I'm usually at the back of the pack....but with the manual tranny she can lay down some serious black smoke when needed. There is a motorcycle shop in the same town I go to church in. At least once a month a large group of riders pulls out of this shop in front of...

Sweet ride! BTW your lie-o-meter will speak the truth as soon as you get the speedo calibrated dead on...at least mine did. Running a diablo predator on +85 hp and setting the "correct" tire size with the tuner made the speedo way off. I'm running 265's and had to set the tire size (with the...

Front axle seals...actually, all axle seals. Check the inner rears and pull the center caps and check the outer. I've had the rr seal changed, then had to take it back twice for the outter seal same side. Had the front driver side seal changed and now the passenger side is leaking - I'll be...

I'm interested.

update; I cleared the code and it stayed off for a little over three weeks this time. I dropped by my buddy's shop that just replaced the d-max in one of his wreckers and he had a erg motor laying out on the bench - so I was able to look at it. There is not a whole lot to them and I was...

Is cleaning the egr motor myself out of the question? Anybody here done it?

Thanks for that info Pepperidge. When the economy picks up, that sounds do-able for me.

gotcha, well, that setup won't work for me. I haul heavy roughly 15 times a year (hay and equipment) 10k-12k pounds and need to conveniently switch from perf. tune to tow tune.....and at $800.00 a pop, EFI Live is totally out of the question. Thanks for the info though. Smitty

All the codes? I think I'm getting confused. My understanding is the FS will not clear the P0403 that I have now. So with EFI live, you pay $99 to have someone with EFI live tune it for you. What do you do if you want a performance tune but occasionally tow heavy?

OK, I def. get the egr fixed first. Thanks

Now the part I'm dreading is taking her to the stealer for the egr - I have very limited access to a decent dealer.....at least one that is proficient with the d-max's...even though this is a emissions issue and not necessarily diesel related.

OK, I need to go do some googling on efi live - I obviously did not understand the way the licensing worked. The price I saw in the mags always scared the poop outta me.
