  1. If they will let you watch the temps, t1,t2 and t3, as well as dpf differential psi. That will give you a good indication as to any "regen" issues. T1 should get to around 600 to 650 give or take 50 deg. T2 and t3 should work towards 850ish, it's more important that the sooner they match and stay close to each other the better. Dpf differential psi tells you how much restriction that filter is causing. The lower the better, anything below .5psi during regen is fine.

  2. If they flagged from vmac online properly it should have loaded whatever software was set up for your truck as per vin. If the tech did not save and transfer saved data file correctly it could have reset some parameters. You can have a dealer run through settings and parameters to verify everything is set up correctly. Also, if there has been a motor swap then they could have flashed with incorrect software, this is also something dealership can verify on vmac online by looking at vin and engine serial #.

  3. Which style engine brakes? Jacobs? Valve lash info will be on valve cover. Turn the motor over just like your cats. At bottom of flywheel housing remove small cover plate to watch for valve lash position settings. I.e. 1&6etc. Adjust valves for whichever cylinder of the two marked that are loose. Depending on Jake's there are different procedures for the actual adjustment.

  5. If wiring and sensor are good. Wipe a small amount of grease on air filter housing and close hood. Don't slam hood just set it down and set latches. Open the hood and see if seal is pressing up against hood. If not adjust air filter housing to make a good seal. If there is not a good seal your engine will be taking in hot air from around you motor not cool air from outside hood.

  6. Unless you've had the actuator of yourself or anyone else and it didn't get calibrated before going back on code is most likely because of sliding ring sticking and not moving freely in turbo due to dot build up or debris, you can tell by unbolting actuator and turning sector gear on turbo. Should move freely not bind up. After removing actuator it will need to be recalibrated with dealer software.
