P02E9 - Diesel Intake Air Flow Position Sensor Circuit High
P02E9 - Diesel Intake Air Flow Position Sensor Circuit High Theory of Operation The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Airflow Control Valve is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and is actuated by an electric motor. A spring internal to the actuator assembly attempts to drive the valve to the fully-open position. The electric motor works to overcome the spring force when the engine control module commands the valve to close. Position feedback from the valve is sent to the PCM to allow for closed-loop control. Discrepancy in position feedback sent to the PCM, and commanded position sent to the EGR Airflow Control Valve by more than a prescribed amount will result in failure of device rationality diagnostics. Failure to properly actuate the EGR Airflow Control Valve can result in poor engine performance. This may cause active Exhaust Aftertreatment regenerations to last longer.

Replacing battery
I know but there is a sensor under the driver side battery that controls the charging rate. Battery temp sensor also controls the high idle and grid heater systems too. Yeah it sound easy to just relocate batteries but it comes with a cost of voltage drop, computer sensor (battery temp).

P02E1 - Diesel Intake Air Flow Control Performance
P02E1 - Diesel Intake Air Flow Control Performance Theory of Operation The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Airflow Control Valve is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and is actuated by an electric motor. A spring internal to the actuator assembly attempts to drive the valve to the fully-open position. The electric motor works to overcome the spring force when the engine control module commands the valve to close. Position feedback from the valve is sent to the PCM to allow for closed- loop control. Discrepancy in position feedback sent to the PCM, and commanded position sent to the EGR Airflow Control Valve by more than a prescribed amount will result in failure of device rationality diagnostics. Failure to properly actuate the EGR Airflow Control Valve can result in poor engine performance. This may cause active Exhaust Aftertreatment regenerations to last longer. When Monitored: With the ignition on. Set Condition: The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the EGR Airflow Control Valve is sticking or out of calibration.

P0219 - Engine Overspeed
P0219-ENGINE OVERSPEED Theory of Operation The Crankshaft Position (CKP) and Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensors are hall effect type sensors. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides a 5-Volt supply to the position sensor and return circuit. A notch on the crankshaft gear is used to determine the speed of the engine by the PCM. As the notch on the crankshaft speed ring or the windows in the back of the camshaft gear move past the position sensor, a signal is generated on the position sensor circuit. The PCM interprets this signal and converts it to an engine speed. When Monitored: While the engine is running. Set Condition: The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects engine speed is above a calibrated threshold. Possible Causes MECHANICAL OVERSPEED OF ENGINE Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC- Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure). 1. OTHER DTCS 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. With the scan tool, read and record the freeze frame data. 3.

P0217 - Coolant Temperature Too High
P0217 - Coolant Temperature Too High Theory of Operation The Coolant Temperature Sensor is a variable resistor sensor and is used to measure the temperature of the coolant of the engine. The PCM supplies 5-Volts to the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT) Signal circuit. The PCM monitors the change in voltage caused by changes in the resistance of the sensor to determine the coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature value is used by the PCM for the engine protection system and engine emissions control. The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is located near the thermostat housing. This fault becomes active when the PCM detects a coolant temperature higher than a calibrated limit for a calibrated amount of time. The PCM illuminates the MIL lamp after the diagnostic runs and fails once. During this time the customer may experience an engine power derate, and regeneration mode will be disabled. The PCM will turn off the MIL lamp after the diagnostic runs and passes in four consecutive drive cycles. When Monitored: While the engine is running. Set Condition: The engine coolant temperature is above a calibrated value for a calibrated amount of time. Possible Causes COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE ECT SENSOR MECHANICAL FAILURE Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC- Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure). 1. COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE NOTE: If other cooling system DTCs are present, repair those DTCs before proceeding. 1. Check the engine cooling system operation. Refer to cooling, Diagnosis and Testing, Preliminary check. (Refer to 07 - Cooling - Diagnosis and Testing) . Is the Cooling system operating normally? Yes Go To 2 No Repair the cooling system failure. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure). 2. CHECK THE ECT SENSOR 1. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. 2. Use a temperature probe and measure the engine temperature near the ECT Sensor. 3. With the scan tool, read the Engine Coolant Temperature. 4. Compare the temperature probe reading with the scan tool reading. Are the readings within 10°F of each other? Yes Repair the cause of mechanical failure. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure). No Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.(Refer to 07 - Cooling/Engine/SENSOR, Coolant Temperature/Removal) Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).

Replacing battery
Look up voltage loss over distance. Long battery cables have less power. Colder batteries don't recharge very fast. This is why the batteries are under the hood to allow them to get warm possibly to aid in charging speed.

Xotic vs ARP Head Studs
I took the advise of @dieselautopower when I bought my ARP studs from them. Sometimes its best to discuss things with the vendors. Like myself I trust @dieselautopower completely to provide quality products. So far in all the stuff I've bought for my truck or customer trucks the failure rate is very low. Don't get me wrong nothing is absolutely perfect and crap happens but to have a vendor that stand behind there products with quality service can't go wrong.

Replacing battery
Yeah like here we are forecasted for single digit nights again. Sure not a time for a single battery for sure. There is a reason why Dodge ditched the single battery design in the 1st Gen and upgraded to dual batteries in 94 in the 2nd Gens.

Replacing battery
Not long in the cold of winter being the total load of the starter is much much higher than the grid heaters. It at least 700 Amps for a cold start. This is why dual batteries should be installed and not a single being the the total load is nearly the full capacity of a single battery.

Thermostat for 2018
NAPA 375-180 - 180F thermostat NAPA 375-190 - 190F thermostat After seeing a local gent that I told to consider the Cummins thermostat and it separated. Be aware Cummins does NOT produce any thermostats but what Cummins does sell is produced by Holley / Mr. Gasket. The current Robertshaw design that I called Robertshaw and was told that Robertshaw no longer makes that thermostat but Holley / Mr. Gasket bought the design which produces Cummins thermostat as well. Only reason I prefer the NAPA is because they have been upgrading all along making improvement where Cummins went backwards and started selling junk.
