And you will probably never see it, but I work just a mile from home, so if I just run back and forth to work all week or two, errands right in town, tack on held time etc.. it can never complete the passive regeneration process.
It's not a problem or like anything is broken. It's just a dummy...
@Scott7091968 how do you like the atw and how many miles do you have on them? I was on the edge between the 4 season and going with the mt. (Stt pro). It was a very tough decision for me and I took a pretty good hit on MPG's for it.
It's on the second page of the maintenance section. Getting kind of buried these days.
Here's a link

I'm only 53k in, I haven't even touched my egr diffuser tube. Never dug into a thing on the engine. Changed oil, air fuel and oil filters, done. Probably getting to the point I should clean things up but it'll probably be springtime. It's a busy time of year with harvest coming up
So I was reading through the service manual recently and realized I had been performing the fuel filter drain service all wrong!
I like many people struggled to get a reasonable flow for the drain so I ordered the solid brass drain plug from Geno's.
Come to find out, procedure states to open...
T6 is the mopar recommended oil now. There is an updated owners manual available to download via ram website and it is in the diesel supplement. I have it in as my last oil change just for the low cost and convenience for availability. Opposed to ordering champion oil that I was before.
You know they won't change anything until there's actually competition. So next year after the Ford 3L diesel gets some figures and miles behind it we might finally see an update. Until then?
Nothing wrong with that, beautiful piece of metal it is, but tack on labor to bolt to to the Turbo, and then find a confident stainless steel welder to finish everything up, and let me know where you end up for cost?
Well it's mopar named and recommended for the ecodiesel since changing to 5w40 in the new owners manual revision.
Basically (please forgive the loose term, I'm sure someone will criticize it) any diesel rated CJ4 full synthetic is "good"
If suggested retail price of the engine is $2,993.30 who the fuck cares? That's the cheapest light duty diesel out of the crate you'll find. I can imagine 4cyl going for more. Compare that price to the alleged Cummins part number at $8,428?
Total engine failure out of Warranty, $3k brand new...
