Significance of #2 and #8 misfires

[vloney]

I seem to remember some significance when you're constantly getting these misfires, but what it was, I cant remember. Something like debris in the fuel or egr cooler failure. Can anyone jog my memory?

I'll take "short rods from liquid doesn't compress" for 1000 Alex

 

Typically EGR failure.

thank you!

It seems I was told by someone (I think at hotline) it has something to do with the intake design. I know if you look at oil stains from CCV on a non-EGR equipped truck, it blows it all down that bank, so I can only imagine liquid doing the same.

I've been seeing a lot of #2 dtcs, #8 not that far behind.

I've been told once by hotline that #2 and #8 are known hot cylinders, particularly #8 which always seems to melt down first.
