My truck has been fixed. I'm impressed the dealer was able to get it back to me a day after I dropped it off with no appointment. It needed no parts other than what was included for the 90A recall. Seems like driving at a steady highway speed was key to getting rid of the derate message. I've...

Just bought one at a local dealer for my truck. The parts guy handed me the 53034051AB. Orange seal, no glue strips.
