Welcome. Just as John and bobcat said, add some fuel and maybe an additive and you should be good to go.

Welcome to the site! Just as John said, take care of it and it'll take care of you!

They can/are suppose to run a check against your VIN# to confirm your truck is part of the TSB. I would print out the TSB and take it in and have them double check. Welcome to the site! Here is the TSB Link...

Hey Mario. You'll love the Cummins truck also. Good luck with your purchase, and Merry Christmas!

ETA on replacing it? Some are luckier than others it seems.

It shouldn't. Go by an auto parts store and see if any trouble codes are stored in the system. They can clear them if so.. Major auto parts store do this for free.

Those are nice though!

Do you have any trouble codes? Is the hood shut? Those are the common factors to the truck shutting off.

People don't surprised me anymore.

Every 10K at minimum. I personally do every 7500.

I buy the walmart blue peak def and never had an issue. I wouldn't be afraid of the high volume ones either however.

I haven't, but it looks like something I wouldn't trust on my $50K truck. Also, you can't even flash an EcoDiesel via the OBD port. So I would say it's just a fooler anyways. Go with something tried and true. GDE, PPEI, etc..

Welcome to the forum! Sound like a streak of bad luck as hit you. The electronic throttle control code is random, and I'm not sure I've seen one fix or solution yet for it. Some have the problem, and some do not. For your other issues, all new to me personally. Let's hope the dealer can get...

Welcome Scott! You can find the official TSB info here: http://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/tsb-18-078-16-engine-oil-viscosity-upgrade-and-flash-enhancements.1178/ Many posts (and opinions) on the forum about it. Read up and ask any questions you may have!

Craig, the only exhaust that works with emissions intact would be a DPF back exhaust, and those are for looks only. You won't have any sound differences. To run a full aftermarket exhaust , and to hear a sound difference, you would have to buy "off road tuning" that disables the emissions...

They can look at your VIN and see if you're "qualified" for the new oil.

The Duramax/Allison trucks are a great trucks, and solid. I've had 3. :D

Good to hear!

It's not a bad idea, if you plan on keeping it "stock". As in, no tuning, etc.

My father had a 2000 year with the 5.3L back in the day, it was a great truck as well.
