: Egr L.TIK 03-18-2005, 01:02 PM Took truck into the dealer and had the EGR replaced. We were told it was full of carbon. We run stanadyne @ each fill-would this cause carbon or could it be the fuel? After it was replaced- definately better!! How do we avoid this again? LT Construction Co. skoryaro2 03-18-2005, 01:27 PM How do we avoid this again? LT Construction Co. If it's a LLY - buy a Finger Stick and Blocker Plate :) LBZ DMAX 03-18-2005, 01:27 PM Block the EGR with a blocker plate ):h would be my suggestion. juke6.6 03-18-2005, 02:52 PM do any of theese add ons void the warranty and who would put them in? L.TIK 03-18-2005, 03:50 PM Same question here. Biterman 03-18-2005, 04:29 PM These "fixes are pretty easy to put in yourselves. I know of a company in Southern California that will put them in. Dont know where you guys live.... As far as warranty goes..... ? briano 03-18-2005, 04:50 PM if the dealer sees these it may void the warranty depending on what is done, BUT they HAVE to prove it was THAT part that caused the problem- if a problem exists. Still most remove the parts before going to the dealer. You can do these mods yourself. Biterman 03-19-2005, 10:04 AM BTW, Don't use Stanadyne..... RBP does everything Stanadyne does AND it displaces the water briano 03-19-2005, 10:15 AM BTW, Don't use Stanadyne..... RBP does everything Stanadyne does AND it displaces the water BUT...Stanadyne is one of two approved by GM. TSB from another thread ==================== Information on Diesel Fuel Additives #03-06-04-017 - (<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:date Year="2003" Day="13" Month="3">03/13/2003</st1:date>)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Only alcohol free water demulsifiers should be used in General Motors diesel engines. Both *RacorŽ and *StanadyneŽ diesel fuel additives are alcohol free and utilize water demulsifiers to cope with water in the fuel. Other brands may be available in different areas; be sure that they clearly state that they are alcohol free demulsifiers before use. *We believe these sources and their products to be reliable.

Cummin_Stroke_this_Dmax 03-21-2005, 01:21 AM I'll be almost willing to bet that RBP displaces the water because it contains alcohol? Am I right? If it has alcohol in it, it's not going near my truck..... unless it comes in a purple velvet bag. Reineke 03-21-2005, 01:35 AM How many miles was on this LLY before in filled up with carbon? L.TIK 03-21-2005, 05:39 AM 21,000 miles on the truck. The diesel mechanic said we should get our fuel somewhere else. We buy our fuel from the same place all the time.??? LT Construction Co. Biterman 03-21-2005, 09:31 AM RBP contains no alcohol whatsoever. I watched a sales guy take 3, 1 ounce bottles. In each bottle he put 1 ounce of water and 1 ounce each of Racor, Stanadyne, and RBP. He then shook them up. Stanadyne was like vinegar and water; clearly no mix at all. Racor mixed up the water and product but suspended the water in bubbles. RBP COMPLETELY mixed with the water, completely displacing it. I was sold. No water, no bacteria, no problems. They make other claim about the product to.
