    Must have option? I'm about to pull the trigger

    Also I agree that the light output on the factory projectors is, well, garbage. But it's a very good candidate for HID retrofit and it produces great light afterwards. No blinding stray light. It's a good quality focused beam with much greater intensity. You can actually see what's in front of...

    Engine Block Heater

    I'm Canada prairie kinda cold. Just state side. We usually see a few weeks of -30F or greater below zero. Everything is necessary. I've been considering installing the inline thermostat controlled canister style coolant heater with the circulation pump but I'm unsure if the excess heat and...

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    I wonder if a good diesel mechanical school Wyo tech or something would take a serious look at it. They've got equipment up the wazoo and everyone there is supposed to be training for the next Gen diesel engine. My opinion would be that 95% of the people there are going to be pre grads with a...

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    With the exception of that one injector being heavily fouled I think the rest are surprisingly clean for 148k miles and your 1000+ hours. There must be something else going on. It's unfortunate nobody knows anything about these engines particularly the Stealerships.

    How often do you see other ecodiesels??

    I've only seen 2 ED's since I got mine in may. Both I saw locally in my little rural town. One is a new pastor with a red Laramie and I saw another new white one still had 21 day tag but I've not seen it yet. I'm very observant and lots of new ram trucks but those are the only ED's I've seen...

    Must have option? I'm about to pull the trigger

    And that's a pretty good price, locally there was a Max steel Laramie with air suspension limited slip etc. It was loaded. I was in love with the truck when I went and drove it, I think the sticker was 56-58? I'm Polaris Industries so I also get the 1% under dealer invoice but beyond that they...

    Must have option? I'm about to pull the trigger

    A Actually I ordered and it was priced with available incentives from the order date. They only change that and give you current incentives upon delivery if they are better and lessen the cost. It saved me an extra $1,000

    REGENS, how to tell??

    I've got mixed towing on mine, 8' enclosed 1k miles 16' ta enclosed 1500miles and about 1000miles towing car haulers with another vehicle. For significant towing anyways. I shied away from the towing best I could in favor of general payload because I hate pulling an empty trailer. I usually end...

    Who else has shot their truck

    I read that scenario before even seeing what you described happened lol. Been there. I did a dent like that on an old Ford. Tearing down an old building and the chain was a little short, the chimney was a little tall... boom. Oops

    REGENS, how to tell??

    The dropped mileage during regen is during a passive regen. You can just be observant and tell. 14,000 mi and my lifetime is 24MPG with a US Gallon not an imperial gallon. Pretty on par with yours. And the regen evic is only a single ding and it's not like you're doing harm to your truck that it...

    REGENS, how to tell??

    At 55-65 MPH I notice instant mileage in the low twenties that I can't get away from regardless of wind, when it begins passive regen it stays there. Upon completion it's back to low thirties

    Who else has shot their truck

    Yeah I noticed that. I'd assume a body shop could grind and epoxy that crack just as you'd Repair a bumper and Paint it for about 300-400$. Not sure if it'd be better to Repair and repaint and price replacement..

    REGENS, how to tell??

    I was hauling a trailer with brush back and forth probably 3 miles out of town and back, heavy idling, towing a trailer with a jlg boom. As well as a brush trailer doing some tree Work so there were many short start ups and shut Downs, still a week later still no 80% regens even remotely close...

    REGENS, how to tell??

    I try my best with warm ups I like to see 100F coolant before driving. But that's also why I use my block heater already. As stated I do drive in town a lot and also start and stop the engine a lot. That hasn't caused any issues. I've just done the high rpm 80% regen twice parked and I think...

    Hello All. Got hooked by Shawn's videos...

    Shawn, Did you ever do the GDE tune on your truck? And did you ever use the Champion SynGold oil in your truck? That's what I went with.. And were the any issues using the oil filters from Auto parts Superstore? I'm following suit with that with the exception that I was the one that noticed...

    Engine Block Heater

    The winter front is from PrecisionCanada.com and find the part number for any accessories that you want. Any distributors don't seem to catalog or advertise any association with precision so you need to get the part numbers directly from them and call a distributor. For you Canadian guys Action...
