Duramax engine fault code

[skinny_pedal]

I fired off my lb7 this morning around 7am. It was about 15-18degrees this morning so i let my truck sit and idle. I heard my trucks idle change and walked outside to see it puffing white/gray smoke hard. It showed a P0087 unknowm engine fault. anyone familiar? truck drives fine and the code dissapeared when i headed home about an hour ago.

Just checked Mitchell and P0087 is a low fuel rail pressure code.

Reading in a little further, it says "When ambient temperatures are below 0 C (32 F), the fuel tank pickup screen may be iced over from water in fuel tank".

10˚ this morning.

Unplugged the truck it fired right up and I didn't have to scrape all that pesky ice off the windshield. :awesomework:

And I didn't drive away with the cord plugged in.

Damn truck driver did that in the Kenworth this morning. "The cord was burried in the snow and I forgot about it".:haha: :haha:

Works awesomely.

My truck starts just fine when it is cold outside. But it is toasty warm when you use the block heater.
