What year is it? What tuner are you running? How many miles on the truck and that oil change?

uwwwww.....lb7 strikes again. injectors most likely. 8 year 200k warranty take it to a dealer if its still under that warranty. I am medium duty, and I think it is the same as light duty.

its a special policy not a recall, you have to let them look at it first. they should know, but if they do not have a diesel tech, then you may have to take it elsewhere.
