Take a look at your oil, if it's not pitch black after a thousand miles on fresh oil your egr is off; congratulations. 800$ probably well spent

Entirely. ;)

275/65 series tire? So it's a 34 instead of a 33?(factory 275/60)

Are those rims still 20's and factory size tire or did you change it up at all?

Just remember you have to go with a soft rubber style now because any molded ones won't fit around the aftermarket flares.

So oddly enough I contacted Champion Oils regarding the Blue Flame Diesel Oil which is a new line with 5w30. They clued me in that it's actually the same exact formula as the low SAPS syngold that is Chrysler MS11106 spec for the ecodiesel, except it has Blue dye for the "Blue Flame" product...

looks nice, I like the ecodiesel badge relocation. You haven't put any mud flaps or rock guards on yet? At least the front? My tires beat the heck out of my painted running boards the first couple days driving before I got some. Anyways welcome to the forum! We'll try to help answer any...

Wow how does it do pulling that? How far? What is that a 22-24' Capri?

I know and in a sense I do trust the truck. In another sense, I dread the failure horror stories and there's not enough engines out there and enough use that I know of going 100k and no failures so where does that put all us? I'd just rather be preventive if I do keep it in the all knowing...

What would buying several cases of the spec oil do? Waste money? There won't be any date interval

Hd leaf springs and a 9.25 rear end were factory available options and the dakota was already classified as a half ton capable truck with a midsize platform. So with available hd options equipped owners considered it a 3/4 ton dakota. Still only a heavy half. And still a midsize platform but...

Also in mn, the ecodiesel has been good to me. I just passed a year old last week and just turned 29k today. I use Lucas oil most fills but I can't tell you the difference. I fill up at Holiday virtually every time with their seasonal blend I've had no issues though the winter was mild...

I'd be worried about trans temps there too. That's hot

I've noticed things running and cycling and blah blah blah inside the dash area when in the vehicle for extended times with the keys off completely

You just would've needed a little extra steel and some variety, and a whole saw. You know how you extended the uprights a second time? Then instead of using a single cross member use two, an upper and a lower. Use two inch square or rectangle, have the upper one pass all the way through and the...

I personally would've Used PVC for the tubes and then utilized a metal frame. even being well painted and whatever you do, the metal will retain water more and rust inside the tubes. And unless you're using very expensive DOM (drawn on mandrel) steel then the weld seam is going to tear apart...

I use Lucas oil 95% of my fills. I just buy a quart or gallon and keep 2 single tank fills in my door and refill them as needed. I average about 500+ miles per tank so I don't need to fill the two in my driver door very frequently. (Factory funnel stays there as well)

Never seen one of those but it's a good idea and for 100$ it's lookin good. Functionality is key!

Welcome. Read up and be sure to ask any questions. We'll be sure to try and help

Well it'd be a fine line for a service guy to actually catch as it's only a part number deviation but do I care to Chance that scenario? Would you?
