Since that time, I seem to have lost about 1 MPG andthe unit is using a little oil (1 Quart in 1500 miles). Itdoes seem to have a little more power though. Has anyone elsenoticed this or do you have any other things that has happenedsince the recall. I am thinking of asking to have the recallremoved.Bob Quote Selected

Re: Emissions Recall Reply #2 – March 13, 2010, 08:47:51 am Yahoo Message Number: 3817I actually felt that I had a little more power when I came back from the dealer and the mileage (towing a crew cab 4wd Canyon) is 9.22 overall (since new) and 9.38 since recall (over the last 3 weeks).If you want to eleminate the shutdown don't use the parking brake. According to the manual if the parking brake is on the 5 min idle shutdown is active. Mine doesn't shut down with the brake off.Dave Sparke Quote Selected

Re: Emissions Recall Reply #5 – March 13, 2010, 09:51:57 am Yahoo Message Number: 3826There was a "re-program" of the EGR valve operation so the new emissions filters didn't clog as fast or some such issue. From what I understand it actually had more affect on trucks that idled for long periods of time (wreckers, buses, etc) but some of us were part if it.Dave Sparke Quote Selected
Re: Emissions Recall Reply #6 – March 14, 2010, 12:57:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 3858Also, it only affects the models that have the new emissions. So if your chassis was built before Jan 1, 2007, you do not get the recall.I think that can be figured out by your VIN and by checking the engine in the build codes.David Quote Selected
