    Aftermarket Light options

    This isn't much of an answer but there's some dead switches on the dash, even though I have the factory air suspension and every option there's still 1 (or 2?) I always thought it'd be nice to find a way to covert that factory filler to an actual switch for any auxiliary lighting. Like an amber...

    Engine Block Heater

    Also on a side note, my mentality is that considering coolant lines are ran through the DEF tank I figure any time it's below 13F and the def is starting to freeze having the coolant warmer to keep that tank partially thawed can only be beneficial.

    Engine Block Heater

    I keep mine plugged in all of the time. No sense having to heat the oil and coolant from air temp every time you jump in. Plug ins at Work if it's under 50 degrees I plug it in. Electricity vs fuel for engine warm up. Pick your poison

    just wondering how often the fuel filter needs changed?

    It's not that it's breaking the seal but even water as well, the canister is just vapor locked because there's no top vent. That doesn't mean only the water comes out leaving it full of diesel. It just takes playing with the factory drain or Geno's garage has a brass replacement plug that comes...

    just wondering how often the fuel filter needs changed?

    How do you figure that the factory drain can only release water but not fuel? It's a drain. From a single container. There's no separate housing that only holds water

    Towing a 6000 lb 23' Rogue Jet boat

    Do you have little to no tongue weight? Maybe trailer loaded tail heavy and actually lifting the back of the truck? Wheel spin would feel like that

    Titan Fuel tank released

    Thank you for finding this. Assuming I still have the truck this will be going up next year. ~1200 mile (gentle highway) range without an auxiliary fuel cell? Yes please.

    Your first mod

    First thing I did was put a BAK Roll-X tonneau cover. Had it delivered at home before even picking up the truck from the dealership and was on that night. Gone now in favor of a shell though. I think the most important upgrade I did was the Enlight HID Retrofit with the factory projector...

    Newbie Say Hello!

    I had some pop up ones I think the same brand, look like the Ford ones shown. They didn't Work worth a Damn on our trucks. Didn't grab the steel and just lifted the bed cap. And the upper plastic shroud broke almost entirely from the upper flange that sits above the bed from tightening it to not...

    Leveling Kit

    Well in that case lucky you, forgive me for assuming at first you were the type to think you could just get away without it. Glad you at least had it checked

    Leveling Kit

    Any time you alter the ride height you need an alignments. We're talking about every measurement in tenths of a degree being vital. A half inch? I could maybe justify skipping. But anything beyond that it's absolutely necessary

    Fuel Additives

    I use the single use bottles each fill. I usually fill from a quarter tank or so. Sometimes run a little lower sometimes higher. I keep two single tank bottles in my door and a quart and a gallon at home to refill as necessary. Figuring two tanks is the longest of out of town weekend adventures...

    Absolutely would. Maybe I'd keep myself in check and choose a little lower price tag though

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    Sounds like the ecodiesel is going to be a comfortable middle ground for you between the two vehicles with the convenience of one. Hopefully a good fit

    Need a heads up on what to ask while shopping for our new EcoDiesel

    Regardless every vehicle has a Chance of some failure. Yours resulted in a fire and I understand how heavy that ways on a vehicles history but so many vehicles are repaired, with various results of damage that regardless of time you shouldn't be expecting to call up fca and say nope, this one...

    Transmission start off gear

    And second to this is transmission cooling which is driven by engine rpm not final drive which is why towing in overdrive even in a vehicle capable of locking the torque converter is not recommended because it requires higher engine rpm to increase fluid circulation. This is why even though you...

    Transmission start off gear

    You must not be familiar with the integrity of a torque converter. Just as a clutch is designed to last so long with x amount of slip against the flywheel a torque converter that is ridden too much overheats the fluid, and after so long breaks down the material within the torque converter itself...

    Where to mount CB Antenna

    As @BoostN said or put a plate between the cab and box similar to a tie down for a slide in camper and mount it just alongside the box and cab transition

    Transmission start off gear

    With the amount of Turbo lag with the factory tune you need first gear even if it seems to be a short gear. But if your concern is traction on snow and you're rocketing off and relying on traction control then your foot is the problem (and imo diesel characteristics likely aren't suitable for...
