24 RST 5.3 10sp

got mine when they released and installed it. No start situation and tons of codes. Removed and reinstalled 4 times, same thing. They said they were sending me a new one. Got the next one, same issue.  Sending both back to them now.  

 

Without it, trucks running as it should be, and after a couple drives the engine light is off.

 

No idea the issue but I sent them all info I could read from the truck with a scanner. We will see what happens! 

 

 

Vin 12th digit is 1. 

Mine is out for delivery today. Same 12th digit VIN. Will report back after install/testing..

Ordered mine on Thursday! I have been waiting a long time for this module.

 

Jon,  did you receive & get this installed?  Inquiring minds are wanting to know. 😀

Steve I did receive it but did not install it yet pending oil change and rotate on Monday. I do not want to get caught using this mod in case of warranty implications. I will install it after the service on Monday and report back to you guys ASAP.

I am not concerned about functionality because I will return it to Range if I have any problems with it.

Quick update, installation was smooth. I do not have a lift on my truck, so I removed half of the t15 screws to move the liner just enough to work in. 
 

Took a quick drive into town and can confirm all is running as expected. One thing I did notice, the auto stop/start green light did not appear at all, which I thought would.

Good to hear!

Has anyone that's installed this unit experienced the DFM kicking in at slow speeds with 0 throttle applied? I ordered one before I was aware of that, and I'm skeptical about using it if it will be a common occurence. Don't have it yet, it's being shipped so I'm hoping to hear from others of their experience before I get tempted to put it in. Except for the 35 miles my truck had on it before I bought it, it's never been driven in Drive. I use L9 every time.

Still waiting on mine to come in. Was supposed to be here tomorrow but UPS said delay beyond their control (yeah right) Tomorrow they will blame it on the hurricane in the gulf lol.

I’ve not noticed or experienced DFM kicking in. I’ve had mine installed since Sept 20, driving daily

I still need to do the software recall for my truck. That is all through the radio correct? So the Range would never been seen or interfere?

Hello Steve. Got the DFM disabler installed and some long road tests. The auto stop/start is disabled. (No more pushing that damn button). DFM is disabled, shift into D and drive it! I may have sensed a little DFM activation above 65 mph on deceleration but I don't care. I would highly recommend to anyone who has been driving around in L9.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
