Hey guys,
Thought I would post this TSB Concerning aftermarket air induction systems. I saw today at work.

2008 F-SUPER DUTY - 6.4L -
SOME 2008 6.4L DIESEL VEHICLES MAY SET DTC 0401,P0402,P2002,P24 4A OR HAVE A DAMAGED DPF/DOC (BLACK SOOT IN TAIL PIPE, BLACK OR WHITE SMOKE) RESULTING FROM AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS. BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS, INSPECT THE VEHICLE FOR NON-APPROVED AFTERMARKET AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS, LARGER EXHAUST SYSTEMS ELIMINATING THE DPF/DOC, AND/OR PERFORMANCE ENHANCING CHIPS. THE USE OF NON APPROVED AFTERMARKET AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS CAN ALSO CONTAMINATE THE MAF SENSOR, AND CAUSE INACCURATE EGR OPERATION AND FALSE DIAGNOSTICS CODES. REPLACEMENT OF FACTORY COMPONENTS WILL NOT RESOLVE THESE CONCERNS, AND SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE REFER TO THE WARRANTY AND POLICY MANUAL, SECTION 3, FOR WARRANTY IMPLICATIONS OF REPAIRS RELATED TO VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS.

 

Good posting. Such a new truck and issues already. At least they are finding and addressing these problems.

 

All those issues there are caused by mainly the Intake and Exhaust mods it does not really specifiy stock config.

 

Where is the list of "Approved" aftermarket air induction, larger exhaust, etc.???

Just curious...

i understand that as saying that anything aftermarket is non-approved,

 

I understand it as aftermarket replacement parts that don't meet OEM specifications.

 

Yea owner created issues, what they are saying is if you are going to play you are going to pay and dealers aren't to waste their time and seek warranty compensation by chasing these issues on modified trucks.
