I did the same thing. Ran 2 bottles in 2 tank refills. Also ran shell Vpower thinking it might be a fuel problem; cuz it only happened when it was hot outside (85+). It came back a couple weeks later. Decided to trust the dealer's diagnosis and pay up $1300 for a hpfp and it's been good ever since. Still gets a little rough on idle when its really hot and idling for a couple minutes but no check engine light or driveability issues.
I usually do. But yes lesson learned. The new condenser doesnt have that thermal tape so I guess fwiw I'll put a piece where the above pic shows. Man this truck has been a money pit since I bought. Last month it was the high pressure fuel pump leaking. That was $1300!
I just bought a supreme suspensions 2.5" front and 2" rear. The kit comes with differential drop kit components. Supreme's website says 2.5" + may require the differential drop kit. At 2.25" lift i would think it should be ok, but if you're doing higher speed in 4wd and use it a lot I would guess that it will prematurely wear those joints out because of the increased angle.
Exact same issues here just started for me. Same codes and everything. I started a thread a couple days ago on this. Dealer diagnosed is potentially as a PIP5590A and points to the high pressure fuel pump. That is a $1250 fix though and they didn't feel 100% confident about it. Mine seems to happen when the truck is idling in hot weather. Hard shifts are because the truck is going into fault mode. Everyone I talk to is saying its more likely the injectors. After seeing that other poster say he got the injectors cleaned and it seems to be fine I am on the verge of doing that also. Truck has 65k on it and its a 2014 5.3
Here's my stock ride. Got it used with about 40k on it. Putting Nitto Terra Grappler G2's on it this Friday. Not going much bigger than stock as I drive it a lot since I'm a real estate agent and care somewhat about MPG haha.
