Yeah I haven't had any issues yet either but I do have the concern of the DEF being froze solid and commuting to work which is just short in town drives and heavy idling for infants who need a warm vehicle, and not having enough run time to thaw that tank enough to not raise computer errors.
I...
It's not a matter of taking the eco out of it it's eliminating harmful deposits in the engine and intake mainly because egr's and ccv's are well know to throw tons of oil and carbon and suet into your intake.
The tune is about keeping your engine clean happy and healthy. And hopefully getting...
Yeah I had thought about the pre winter top off but didn't get around to it. As previously stated I'm 2 hours from a truck stop with DEF on tap. Well I happened to be there. so I gave it a shot.
With the current temps being as low as they are and not having a heated garage I wanted to add to...
Shouldn't need an alignment just lowering the straight axle but I am not sure if it uses a track bar as it might cause it to dog track if so without being adjusted, but I think if it's just using the sway bar and straight axle mounts it shouldn't have any adverse effects other than pointing up...
Yes tire options for the 17s are limitless compared to the 20s and $50 or better less per tire.
And if you want 10ply tires on 20s you're damn near SOL
ALTHOUGH I did discover that going from a 60 series tire to a 65 gives you tons of options as it's actually a common size 20.
It's a 1/2"-1"...
And back to the beginning, @BoostN. I don't know how you're doing it; maybe you're over tightening the pour spout? But after learning to pinch open the breather before putting it on (learned from the idiots trying to fill the DEF at delivery how not to do it) I get absolutely no spillage or any...
Just had myself a bad experience putting the DEF in at the truck stop; it was -30F and I figured I'd throw in $10 as I was around 1/4; had just gotten my truck back from the deer and the pump at flying j decided to try super speed and blew DEF back out of the nozzle and all down the truck which...
I'd attribute it mainly to winter; warm up times; and I don't know about your particulars of current driving but they're very sensitive to wind on the highway. And the jet stream has been all over the Country as of late
Welcome.
You would be pretty comfortable pulling only a 7k trailer in the ecodiesel.
And unless parkability or overall vehicle length are a concern the crew is really worth having the extra room. And the only possible way if you'll ever have a carseat for grandchildren or other family. Just as...
Exactly; we all bought diesel's for the fuel mileage and characteristics of a diesel engine. And lubricity of the fuel. Low engine temps and longevity. (Sorry I just had a huge rant about this all)
And nobody should be crying about a little higher fuel costs
The recall is based on the assumption that anyone in cold climate ordered their truck with a factory installed block heater cord. Not referencing that the engine has a heating element regardless. So it's completely dependant on the build sheet if it were to come with a factor installed block...
I get hit at the pump either way but the diesel doesn't hurt quite so bad. Gas is 1.79, premium for the BMW is 2.39 and is lucky to see 20MPG highway so it stays in town sucking up premium. And winter blend diesel is 2.24/2.29 now. But it's barely moved since I got the truck in may at 2.59. Gas...
Have you seen the one from Geno's garage? Requires drill install and the torsion bar already in our tailgates doesn't completely let it down without applying pressure, BUT it also features lift assist so 2 finger tailgate closing
Dealer couldn't get it in, even though I called ahead. 20 some odd codes mostly from the deer hit but we'll see. They'll take it in after the body work is all done I guess. 2 weeks or so
I'm with you I get shit mileage. Maybe it's Minnesota roads. Maybe 10-12 towing a 16' enclosed tandem axle trailer. Loaded or empty. Pickup box trailer with a Topper, ~12MPG
Hell I'm driving completely empty on I-29 right now; cruise at 76 in 8th gear with a 10-14MPH headwind and I can't break...
