Not Suitable w/220v Gen
I thought about putting this in NCV3 Write-Ups, but I thought it was worth putting it in "NCV3 Talk" since we can all talk about it.
This posting is about my first EGR System-related Diagnostic Trouble Code: 2511 in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Highlights:
• Less than normal power
• Definitely not “Limp Home Mode”
• The Check Engine Light never illuminated
• Stopped Engine, Started Engine, Problem Fixed
• DTC Stored – System Tested – No Problem Found
Mileage: 23,400 miles
Year: 2007
Model: 2500 144" WB Cargo - 3L V6 diesel
The attached PDF details my driving experience, my thoughts, me snooping around with StarMOBILE using the Desktop Client and WiTECH, running the EGR System Test and my conclusion which is:
If you have an issue where you can't get past a certain engine speed, try parking, stopping the engine and after a few minutes, start up and continue on your way. There might not be anything that you can fix with economic or emotional reason.

Key words: Power Loss, poor acceleration, restart fix it, EGR Positioning Error, DTC 2511
Comments welcomed. If I got something wrong, if I made a mistake, please let me know so we all learn. I ask some questions in the PDF regarding the EGR system test and what 5%, 10%, 50% and 80% mean..... If you know the answer, please post!

PS: I don't think this is "Limp Home Mode," because I could drive faster and beyond 3rd gear than Limp Home Mode typically restricts.... but I could be wrong on this.....
