    What to do when no Oil is Available

    ^^^^^ Not wise in any climate.

    Going To Do My First Oil Change Doc's Filters?

    Stiction Eliminator already has FR3 in it. Never thought about adding more FR3. Sorta like adding LX4 to EDT (it already has LX4 in it). A good idea, thanks

    Going To Do My First Oil Change Doc's Filters?

    CAVEMAN, I also use HOT SHOTS SECRET EDT plus LX4 every tank. And, HOT SHOTS DIESEL EXTREME, only once a year because of low annual miles. I used to sell additives (except Hot Shots) and used what I sold. The top one was Archoil. Archoil developed a stiction additive (AR9100) early on...

    New Tires

    Thanks for the confidence. They were the right spec. OEM, off a Rebel, 17" wheels and tires, Toyo, Open Country AT/II.

    New Tires

    I tried Toyos once, mainly because my high mileage neighbor swore by them. They were good as long as the pavement or dirt was dry but let it be wet and they were like ice skates.

    New Tires

    Yep! There are lots of other tires that are as good or better than Michelins. Most at less cost. Just be sure you buy what's rated for how you will use them.

    New Tires

    I'm only replying because you said you've "never heard". I too was a believer in Michelin Defenders for many years. Then I had one separate its tread at 65mph. Caused $3600 in damage to my pristine Ford F350. Discount tried as hard as they could for reimbursement, Michelin refused any help...

    Going To Do My First Oil Change Doc's Filters?

    I believe the Mopar filter's smaller particles (measured in microns) than the others, and that's what Ram wants or requires. No need to panic, you are filtering, just not the best.

    Can you have 2 tune on your ecodiesel

    You can't run two tunes for the engine at the same time. I suspect the guy you are referring to had GDE on the ECM and SFT for the TCM.

    This TSB shows that Ram recommends T6. Any dealer that wants to sell you away from T6 is a dealer to avoid.

    New Tires

    Falken Wildpeak AT3 will fill all of your needs. Probably the best tires I've ever owned for all the conditions one can encounter. Specially for dirt and snow traction and stick to the pavement in rain.

    DEF Injector

    With the stock tune I get the alert. Twice, for recalls, I returned to stock tune and got the alert. Had to drain the DEF tank and refill with new DEF to clear the alerts before taking it to dealer. I have SFT tunes. Prior to the W58 tone wheel recall, the SFT tune had the DEF system...

    DEF Injector

    TC, My 2016 must have a quality sensor, as it alerts at 22 or 24%. Like you say, 2.5 gals DEF & 1 Gal distilled, my monitor shows 26% (and no alert). I said alerts at 22 or 24% because in previous posts you have said 22%.

    DEF Injector

    Edge Insight CTS2 or CTS3. The newer CTS3 will monitor the same , but it will not start a regen. There are other monitors and phone apps as well.

    DEF Injector

    My 2016 Eco is my daily driver of "a lot of short trip or stop and go driving" and I have never seen the 100% full message, nor have I ever had an exhaust sytem problem. I agree that my use is the worst use for any diesel vehicle. So I compensate. I monitor exhaust temps, DPF soot level and...

    DEF Injector

    Yep, if your dealer said they did not see DEF in the DPF filter, they are idiots. DEF gets injected into the SRC, never into the DPF. Did they put more DEF into the almost empty tank and then do a forced regen when they had your truck? That's what they should have done if it threw a 100% see...

    DEF Injector

    Ecodiesels use little DEF. I believe it's because their frequent regen cycles keep the NOx levels down. DEF is only used when NOX reaches a certain level, then DEF is injected into the SCR (EGT4 sensor) to remove NO2/NOx. NOX levels trigger the DEF injection and also determine the quantity...

    Intro and Code Troubles!

    Just a thought. I have read where members had similar electrical reactions, and it turned out their battery was failing.
