Hello,
I have a ‘16 ED Laramie 4WD. I bought it used with 85k miles in Dec of ‘20. I have put a little over 55k miles on it since then and am currently sitting at 140k. The only issues out of the truck that i’ve had to date are a bad def tank, and a blown turbo coolant line.
I will preface this by saying that i have read every possible thread on this particular issue within these forums that i could find. From my understanding, a lot of people are having problems with their MAP sensor being clogged and soot build up from idling too long, or from colder temperatures.
Yet, today, the date of this message popping up, is 106° here in Texas and i drive pretty hard usually doing 5-15 mph over the speed limit at any given time. Truck is definitely in limp mode. As far as throttle control goes, it’s weak and laggier than usual and just has no power whatsoever.
I’ve read that some people have been given the runaround by a dealer where nobody could figure out what the solution was to this particular problem. I’ve read some guy installed a GDE hot tune and it resolved his issues. Another spent $9k in repairs before with no solution. Some say it’s a fuel filter fix.
I’m lost on what the problem actually is and would like some clarity. Having to borrow my dad’s dually to daily around until i can figure out what’s happening, and my wallet is screaming at the thought of dailying a dually with these diesel prices being what they are.
The only code is P0299 which is turbo underboost.
Again, i’ve researched multiple threads and havent found any solid solutions to what might be causing this issue, and most of the threads were fairly dated, so please excuse me if I’m asking a question that’s already been answered elsewhere.
