I'm glad as well. And I'm glad my factory warranty covered it. The MAF sensor from Tasco or other online order houses is still $125 so I'm glad it didn't cost me a dime. My hope is that if someone has this code come up, they can see what I checked and what the dealer found was the issue they can resolve their own issues hopefully. With the proper manuals, I probably could have followed the flow chart to troubleshoot the issue, but this saved me time and money.

So now I've changed the hoses that were bad and got the CEL issue resolved and things are looking up for me on the truck. Now to find a car wash that can fit an 8'5" truck through it!!!

One other note on this whole process. I don't know if it's cause I've fixed the intercooler hose or the MAF sensor, but it would appear that the dealer did a regen while the truck was there (it went in at about 90% and came out at 0%) but I have put about a hundred miles on it so far and it is still sitting on 0% on the DPF filter. Truck is running great and I have not had a CEL light yet. Hard to say on fuel mileage but I'm hoping it will improve now that these things are fixed.

Great post. Had the same problem. Saved me a ton of money by avoiding the dealer diagnosis and fix with the rubber time bomb intercooler pipe. Picked up a metal pipe from Rudy's, H&S Motorsports I believe, for $340 and no more rubber time bomb. Love this Forum!!!!! Thanks to all that chimed in to help and thank you Keith for posting this!! I got the next round!
