This triggers pre retirement employment flashbacks. “ a little past due “ oiled air filter. Great for turbo business though. Not jumping on you but that phrase was uttered many a time by customers with gummed up compressor wheels.

What’s the hose look like inside by the clamp areas. Any signs of starting to crack?

I do 20psi off roading and 12psi on the dunes. The short drive on pavement from the parking lot to the dunes is a little unnerving. I use the Viair 300P compressor

That sucks. But you’re still under the 5/60 powertrain ( I know you have an ESP) and there’s an active TSB addressing your possible situation. If your 3-5 shifts continue their quirkyness then I would definitely contact your dealer. This isn’t the same as the d/shaft lube situation you had as...

Were you able to retrieve your old filter? Just curious what the top looks like.

It’s worth digging in the dumpster to retrieve that filter! And maybe show them before your trip if possible. Glad you have the extra coverage.

You only have 9k and/or maybe a year and a half on your 5/60 powertrain that would cover this TSB. I would dig out that filter and bring it to the dealer to document the issue. It’s evidence of a problem along with your harsh 3-5 shifts. Should be enough to trigger the TSB. It may not “fail”...

The TSB calls it gray silt

Whats the top of the filter look like

Read this TSB and view the images within it. It addresses the aluminum and your truck falls into this category. Looks like an outer shell failure in progress . Your 2023 has the updated CDF drum but not the updated anodized outer shell. This is where the aluminum most likely is coming from.

Water intrusion will join the forum phrase hall of fame. Let me know when the induction ceremony is.

The fans came on???? What??

Sounds to me like they don’t want to fix it ( i.e. put a cylinder head on it) and instead just throwing a long block at it. Highly unlikely it’s a total engine failure. But you won’t know unless you ask.

That situation usually ends up worse case with a cylinder head replacement. How did it evolve into a “ blown “ engine? Just exactly what was the catastrophic failure, like component wise?

This is one interpretation

Thanks, keep us posted

Are you still planning on mounting this in front of the fuel tank? Or did I miss a post?

I will concur on the “ pieces of carbon damaging turbine wheel of turbo” . It’s a thing, saw it many times in my last 10 years of employment at a turbo sales and service facility. I can’t speak to specific incidents involving CRC cleaners but the logic makes sense. Our shop never did that type...

I’m still in this camp

Look on the inside of your old one mainly in the clamp area where it attaches to the engine. See if there’s evidence of it starting to crack. Also under the clamp
