I have an 05 GMC 2500 HD Duramax. Took the rig down the road the other day. Stopped, got back in and when it started, lots of black smoke and ran crappy. Almost like a flooded gas motor, no power at all. Any how, got it towed to the dealer. They say it is a bad EGR valve. The rig only has 18,000 miles on it. But a lot of idle time. I am up in Fairbanks, Alaska. I have an edge/juice, AFE-2 intake, and a 4" turbor back exhuast.
Dealer of course says that it is probably the programmer making it bad. Could this problem be from a bad EGR. The dealer disconnected the EGR and said to drive until the new one comes in. I have heard of ways around the EGR, but is that a good thing to do?
Dealer codes===P0101,P0401,P0404,P1229,AND P1244
Have no clues what these mean, but this is what is on the print out
Any help would be nice. This is the 3rd time in the garage. 2 times for Tranny relay/program problems. I would hate to have bought a $45,000 piece of crap.
