Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 761581, member: 3825"] The 6.4 in my F350 hickuped and died yesterday. Stop Safely Now. Again. I went through this back in April. Called the wrecker, limped it home before he got there, once it restarted. It quit twice on the way home, but restarted after it cooled down for an hour or so. Conditions were 65 MPH, 75F, no load, level, steady state cruising with the cab full of wife and kids. It totally wrecked our day. I pulled codes and found a P200E, which is the following Description: The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the exhaust gas temperature bank 1, sensor 2 (EGT12) and exhaust gas temperature bank 1, sensor 3 (EGT13) sensors for an over temperature concern. If the EGT12 sensor temperature is greater than 830°C (1,526°F) or the EGT13 sensor temperature is greater then 950°C (1,742°F), the DTC is set. This DTC causes the PCM to immediately illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and enter a torque reduction failure mode effects management (FMEM), which may result in engine shutdown. Once the engine is shut down, the PCM prevents the engine from restarting for 1 hour. If the EGT13 sensor is not working, the engine will not start. Possible Causes: Diesel particulate filter regeneration occurred during heavy load and high ambient temperature conditions Excessive amount of soot or ash in the diesel particulate filter Damaged EGT12 sensor Damaged EGT13 sensor Coolant contamination of the exhaust system Oil contamination of the exhaust system Diagnostic Aids: This DTC is an informational DTC and may be set in combination with a number of other DTCs which are causing the FMEM. Diagnose other DTCs first. Check the EGT12 and EGT13 PIDs. If no other DTCs are present, the system is operating correctly at this time. Advise the customer of the conditions that may cause this DTC. I replaced EGT12 due to failure back in March, IIRC. There were no other engine codes. I've been having smokey regens all spring, but this truck has always done that. It received a complete new fuel system in April of 2011. The EGT sensors appear fine. It looks like my DPF is plugged. I now have to either delete the &*^%^$ thing or park it. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I need to go on a 800 mile trip tomorrow. ^&**^%% POS ! Unless an injector has gone south or its leaking coolant... I LOVE how manufacturers can put in a $2K nav system, but not build anything into the dash to read codes. I also love how there isn't any warning system to say, hey, your DPF is getting full, until the *&^%$! quits and leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere. I'd park it until I do the swap, but I'm just about to start building my new garage and I need it for the project. Maybe I'll fix the broken stuff (from being stolen) on my CUMMINS powered '99 F250 and drive it. Lucky I didn't sell it. [/QUOTE]
