Yeah, I'm not saying right this very minute, I'm saying in the future, after the dust settles or if it does settle, they're still taking orders for them, my fathers company just ordered 50 of them or something ridiculous, which I find very odd, why wouldn't a company just be upfront with them...

I'm kind of worried about warranty work on them right now, how's that work with all this EPA garbage going on

I understand the science behind his testing, however I have seen first hand excessive wear on internal engine parts and major engine overhauls needed due to lighter weight engine oils being used in diesels. Cam lobes almost completely ground flat and bearings from rods and main bearings being...

What I say is there's a lot more to this story than we know and likely will ever know. If there was an issue or even the slightest inclination of a problem, wouldn't you have developed a solution or resolved the problem if you were FCA and watching VW go through this? It would have in my opinion...

In my personal opinion OEM

I'm getting an F-150 for sure now lol! Could be kinda like the email scandal, where gov't aquzations end up not coming to any fruition. This is definitely different from the VW scandal, because they didn't even try to deny it

Oil number 161 the best stuff ever on the planet- rotella T6! 161. 5W40 SHELL ROTELLA T6 Diesel Oil, synthetic, API CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, CH-4, SM, SL = 67,804 psi zinc = TBD phos = TBD moly = TBD

I didn't read the whole thing cause I got bored, but did the author state anything how a lighter weight oil shears quicker causing premature wear to crucial engine parts? Seemed to me the main test was his version of a anti wear/pressure test. There's a reason Diesel engines have been running...

Don't forget we drive diesels and needs an oil suitable for Diesel engines. The correct oils are designed to control the soot that our engines produce, a gasoline engine oil does not typically contain the correct additives for Diesel engine use

Just to see if local dealer had a clue I called and asked what oil they're putting in ecodiesel vehicles when doing changes and they said 16's get 5w-40, everything else gets the 5w-30 still, then he went on to tell me he heard they're going back to the 5w-30 spec, but hadn't heard anything official

if they don't come with a diesel i know i wont be buying one

http://www.cenex.com/fuels/renewable-fuels would love to find a station that carried roadmaster xl in a B2 blend or B5, I use the regular roadmaster xl whenever I can, Eco seems to run smoother and regen a little less frequently in city type driving seems about the same in highway situations...

Bio is usually more expensive though, it's odd how the diesel world works

Lower energy content=lower mileage

Yes, but it would seem there are too many variables to know for sure what is causing your decrease in mileage. Mine was within a mile per gallon after the updates, it's down about 3-4 mpg on average now, I attribute it to winter fuel and 4wd use and more idle time

Depending on where you live winter blend diesel could most definitely have an affect on mileage. The difference in 5w-40 vs 5w-30 will most likely not affect mileage.

Usually stations that sell Bio sell a B20 blend in the warm months and B5 in the winter due to the gelling issues. I'd be tempted to run it if I could get it local, keeps fuel system really clean and provides a little extra lubricity compared to regular fuel

The 5w-40 won't hurt your motor and won't cause a check engine light. The flashes are primarily concerning a transmission calibration and the pcm one is mostly for the fan calibrations, they state something about the oil life system too, but I personally don't see a difference in how that works...

It's an emissions controlled diesel motor, it is amazing how dirty they get, I haven't looked at the actual EGR valve setup on this emissions system, but if you're going to clean something I think that would be time better spent. If for some reason you have to take the tube off you might as well...

I saw 5 new 2017 duramax pickups on the lot today, just got in yesterday, nobody supposedly knew when they were showing up either, the ecodiesel can't be far behind
