I just recently bought a 2006 Duramax Diesel, used with about 60k miles on it. Pretty obvious that prior owner used a programer or chip, as at about 25mph - you step on it and it breaks the 285/75/16's loose on pavement.
The check engine light has come on several times, so I cleaned the gas cap, and it seems to go away...for 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer.
I took it to local auto parts store and they hooked it up to scanner. Code P0299 came up. The guy doing the testing owns an F350 diesel, and I use to own a Ford 1996 turbo diesel...he told me the code points to something wrong with turbo charger housing? Truck runs fine, seemingly.
Should I be concerned with this trouble code, or is the prior owners programming probably the cause of code?
