Hey just thought I would add that my truck made it 40 miles this time before CEL came back on. Thats the third time in 2 weeks. This time it would not let me come out of 2nd gear. 24k on the truck. Both NOX sensors have all ready been replaced. Anybody care to guess what the diagnosis will be. I hope they replace my DEF tank with the updated one.
I can understand your frustration...My 2011 Ford 6.7 was a similar problem child...never went more than 5000 miles without some kind of problem. In the last year of ownership, it never made a week without a CEL...dealerships always wanted to blame the owner for problems and milk the owner for diagnostics charges. I fixed the problem myself...I unloaded the POS Ford for a DuraMax...have not seen a CEL in almost a year and 17000 miles...
IIRC, Emissions warranty is for a lot longer than 50000 miles...It was 100000 but may be 70000 now. If i was trading for a new truck now, I would look long and hard at the Ram's...but the new 2015 GM's sure are nice. Step son is now driving a 2015 Dually DuraMax Ex Cab...I will get a chance to see how it drives and how nice the cab is soon...
