| Forgot to include replacing the intercooler and either carefully cleaning out its hoses or replacing them as well. |

| You changed the complete ignition/steering lock assembly? Or just the electrical part? |

| There was a service bulletin on this. Change the whole ignition switch lock assembly. They wear and then the key hangs up and stays partly in the “start” position which fries the starter. |

| Drop the sump, clean out any debris, and flush out the turbo oil return line ...on top of an oil and filter change, of course. |

The range of valve travel and the amount of cable pull do not match. You have to adjust the cable to fully closed in the summer and to fully open in the winter.
The design of heater valve is suppo ... |

| To isolate whether it is the vacuum pump, or other belt paraphernalia, remove the auxiliary drive belt and BRIEFLY run the engine. |

Filling the gearbox requires having a way of pumping in an exact amount of oil. The fill plug is located high on the transmission case. You should NOT fill until it dri ... |

| You mention “transmission clashing”. Do not rush shifts. It is a truck, not a sports car. Clutch in and pause for the revs to drop before shifting. Or, you can double clutch on the way up. |

It is easy to take the 2.4 EGR valve to pieces. Getting it out in the first place is of equal fun.
I recommend removal and software delete as the EGR valve creates harmful deposits. |
