Oh yeah I changed the plugs as well, 24k miles and they were almost completely gone.

 

This might be the TSB, I'm not positive.

I had the same problem. No codes came up, but the stealership said that the EGR valves in our Dak's are known to malfunction. They chnaged it under warranty and I've had no problems since. That was 2 months ago. I don't know if it actually fixed the problem our it'sjust pure coincidence.

 

The key phrase here........ I took it to the dealer or dealer said this......... Where's that "service manager" when you need one. If I'm not mistaken every time the dealer "fixes" something they re-flash the PCM to make the PCM aware of the new part or numbers that would come up so it doesn't throw a code. If they fixed a EGR valve then quite possibly they might of re-flashed the PCM in the process? I would put money that TSB is not only for the 05's but the 06's as well. Mine is an 06 with 31k and the only time it's given me a problem is when it wouldnt stop stalling. PCM re-flash with new software at 21k never had a problem since. I also baby the damned thing anywayz, oil change, tire rotation, premium fuel, preimum oil, premium filters, spark plugs every 15k, dropped the tranny had it serviced with new fluid and the works at 28k. I've put more money in my truck then I have quiet possibly anywhere else besides my home........

Anyway, Thank you Altair for putting forth the effort and finding the TSB. I didnt have the patience to search the other day.

 

I had the same porblem with my 05 dak, I took it to the dealer and they told me I had a bad EGR valve, had it replced under warranty and the porblem has not come back, it's been about a year now. Maybe have them check that out if they haven't already

 

Thanks for all the responses! The dealer changed the plugs and cleaned the Throttle body and it has corrected the problem. Crazy how it's under warranty and have to deal with that. Oh well, I still love the truck.

 

Did the dealer charge you to clean the Throttle Body or did they do that under warranty? I ask because my dealer said my TB was dirty from water in the gas and wanted me to pay them $150 to clean it. I only use BP gas from this one station near my house and have used it for 6 years in all my cars and never had any problems before.

 

The did charge me even though it was under Warranty. They said it was a maintenance issue. I don't agree with that since the 3year/36,000 mile warranty states that it is bumper to bumper. They charged me $59 to clean the TB and $89 to change the spark plugs so for both it was about $160. $150 seems steep to clean a TB.

 

Man, you should've told them to leave the spark plugs alone and did em yourself. It cost me about $8 when I bought new plugs for mine, $89 is a freakin rip-off.

 

I know!!! The dealership rep talked me into it and it was convienent for me being as busy as I am.
