Cr#p I knew you were going to say that. Oh well, at least the extended warranty covered most everything else.
They replaced the bearings in front plus a new power steering pump.
Funny thing is they didn't at first because they said the truck was running a tuner when they saw my edge cs on the dash. I had to prove it wasn't a tuner. Then they didn't want to cover it because of the MBRP 4" exhaust. They said since I modified the exhaust the "truck" was modified and that violated the contract.
After a day of threatening they covered it. But wouldn't cover the egr as I guess I have a "carbon" clause in my extended warranty.
Quick question, when I picked the truck up it was loping like it had a miss. The low fuel message was on. It was so low I thought I had to get fuel before bringing it back to them. Well adding fuel got rid of the code and the missing. Does that low of fuel put it into some type of limp mode? Being that low did it hurt the injectors or pump? Just curious. The tech drove it 12 miles to test but it went in just under a quarter of a tank.

at 2% fli (fuel level input) the truck will set a p115a dtc and go derate.
yes thats hard on injectors. this is one of the things that causes the head of the spool valve to break the bolts.

yep that's the code I got.
So should I bring that to the dealers attention? I suppose their policy is to not add diesel if needed and even charge the customer.
I drove 2 miles, how much damage driving that far?

Thanks Cheezit. You'r a life saver of information. Yeah pulling out of the dealer it missed like crazy. I think I'll be looking for a new dealer. They came in 22% above what he said it would be when I authorized the charges. 220.00 in shop charges, ouch.
