Yeah if tank burst was a serious possibility it'd have a fail safe to only ever be 3/4 full or it'd be a terrible consumer case. I never thought twice about a tank burst scenario. My only concern regarding the DEF was the amount of time it takes to thaw
Hence why people with short commutes have so many issues. One it's high soot points then you have 8 gallons of frozen fluid that is only thawed by your coolant lines. How long does it take for a 160-200 degree line to thaw an 8 gallon tank? Sure bet it exceeds a 5 mile commute where the truck...
I had a similar plan for a low temp silicone heat pad that won't melt the tank but would help. I just never got to it before winter. Next year I guess. And yes the idea is to basically have a triple tap inside the bumper and then I have a retractable extension cord inside my bumper coming out of...
Yeah merry Christmas was exactly how I felt. Couldn't stop it from happening. It was rough.
It'll be a while with the holidays and fender Benders. Lots of body damage. New Hood, fender, flare, door skin. Bumper valance. Amazingly my grill is undamaged.
No the deer did a pretty good job removing it completely. I just unplugged the last chunk with the turn signal and my hid ballasts. That was all that was left.
This was pretty much right after it happened.
Yeah you can get the mopar oil filter from diesel Filters online but it's really tricky to find as they haven't structured the site for ram ecodiesel even remotely well. But if you know your part numbers it's pretty easy to find. And their sales keep Filters around 30$ and shipping isn't much...
Still just the two strays in town a see once every few months and I rarely see one or two when going into bigger cities. I guess the sales haven't picked up in Minnesota here! Too bad! Those hemi guys don't know what they're missing.
That's a pretty good deal I've heard pennzoil to be extremely cheap on Amazon. But I've used champion syngold my first two changes and been happy. Will be turning 19k tomorrow.
Somewhere out there there is an Ecodiesel oil change kit that has a mopar filter then base price of about 80-100 to...
I keep my truck plugged in all of the time and never noticed a difference in electric usage that I can attribute solely to the truck. It's ok.
And when it's single digits if my block heater can keep my coolant at ~60 degrees which is also ran through my DEF tank it's got to be keeping it from...
But I've seen early 90s 2.2L I-4 s10s with fresh rebuilds have damn near pegged oil needles all the time. A family member has a 98 3/4 ton 454 that still runs at 60 when it's at operating temp and driving normal. And I've seen the same on the 350s for many many other old Chevs.
I guess I'm not...
80 during driving rpms isn't that high. All old gm trucks anywhere from I4's to v8's small blocks and big blocks see those oil pressures especially when cold. I guess I've never noticed near 80s on my truck but it could've been overlooked
