Me too!

I am curious what gears your trucks shifts from and to. A 1500 rpm jump sounds like at least two gears. Glad to hear you are getting a new tranny.

when loaded the trailer weighs in at ~ 5,000 lbs and has the aerodynamics of sheets of plywood.

That sucks. But, since you paid for this out of warranty I believe it has a two year parts and labor warranty. But please check this yourself.

I am at 35,200. The service manager got me in the next day since I was so close to the magic 36k.

Yes sir. And according to the service writer, this is the “fix”.

Picked the truck up this afternoon. Shinny new heat exchanger and associated exhaust piping. The new part number listed on service ticket is PL3Z-5A212-B. The attached screen shot shows this part, but oddly it is missing the heat exchanger. Also replaced was the muffler and muffler inlet pipe.

I always thought I would be known for something special.

Just received word my truck needs another heat exchanger, so will be its fifth (original plus fourth replacement). Service manager says I am getting the updated part - we shall see.

Got a CEL Thursday. Code set is P2C23, Exhaust Heat Exchanger Exhaust Bypass Valve "A" Position Sensor Performance. If Ford replaces the heat exchanger again, that will the fourth time.

I do as well, but the deduct is $100. Now, if this is an emissions part we are covered.

Thanks snakebitten. I understand parts can break and wear, but this is my fourth time dealing with a heat exchanger-related issue, and I am still under warranty. What is going to happen over the next 5 years? I would think this part would be upgraded to solve this. Becoming disheartened.

p2c23 is back again, about one year after the last heat exchanger replacement for the same code. Surely Ford has a permanent fix? I am almost out of warranty and this is getting old. Would this code be an emissions related problem?

I almost did. But based on my driving habits, short trips to work and back, and living in a cold climate, I was worried about all the emission crap going bad. I simply would never get the truck up to temp on my normal commute, about 6 miles.

Why not simply turn off the headlights while you sit idling?

Hopefully you all will post on GM forums with the same enthusiasm concerning the wet belt in the 3.0 duramax.

I would appreciate if someone could look into VIN 1FTFW1ED8MFC61664 My truck is reporting partial failure of 2.7.4, which I have received successfully in the past.

Will do.
