Hoping for the best, hopefully the new year brings some good news, I don't know if the 2017 Duramax is out yet or not either, should fine the EPA if and when they make certification for lost profits

Wonder how long ago you were supposed to get that letter

tanker trucks usually don't wash out after delivering fuel, they usually deliver both gas and diesel, especially in smaller communities, there's probably gas in every diesel tank and diesel in every gas tank, just very minute amounts, I'd run it down to 3/4 or 1/2 and fill it up again, also if...

NOX sensor is the word you're looking for I believe

I noticed a 40 mph cross wind and 80 mph speed on I-90 through south dakota yield about 15 mpg regardless of foot or cruise control use

maybe that's injectors? Looks like the glow plugs aren't terrible as long as they come out without much of a fight. Hopefully don't have to change too many glow plugs, damn things are at least $70 a piece

Fuel should be treated or blended, but let's be realistic, should we trust that it is? Working in the oil industry and overseeing the maintenance of the rigs engines for a lot of my career in the patch I have learned that the truck driver will bring whatever is ordered. I always used to ask what...

I think everyone is taking the Rotella T6 recommendation a little too seriously, FCA is in bed with SOPUS, Shell Oil Products United States, which happens to own the Pennzoil brand and obviously the shell branded oils. As long as it's a synthetic, preferably the 5w-40 diesel engine oil flavor...

great to hear Barney! Love people that are happy with their ecodiesels! I had a blower motor issue right out of the box it seems, but have almost 20,000 trouble free miles thus far and couldn't be happier with the pickup overall.

Sharp pickup for sure!!!

even below 20 I don't think they're necessary unless doing a bunch of in town driving, with the active grill things and the nature of the beast they will get up to operating temp just fine at highway speeds and maintain that, last thing they need is the fans kicking on, I know they're electric...

I have seen batteries that don't get used very much, freeze and won't hold a charge after that. You wouldn't think -18c would be cold enough to do that, but weird things happen in the cold weather.

http://www.lelubricants.com/fuel-treatments.html Most winter fuel is blended with a #1 mix to help prevent gelling, this additive is nice because it lubricates the entire fuel system

There's a ton of class action lawsuits against most automobile manufacturers. I was skeptical about the ecodiesel due to what I had heard about engine failures, but I bit the bullet anyway and couldn't be happier with the pickup. It is a blast to drive around town compared to a 3/4-1ton. It is...

Yeah blended fuel and more idle time definitely doesn't help mileage out. Modern Diesel engines usually have high idle functions that help ease the issue of washing down cold cylinder walls with excessive amounts of diesel fuel.

It's always been amazing to me what wheels and tires can do for a vehicle, 10 fold improvement over stock man! As far as reliability I've only seen fuel wheels and xd series kmc wheels crack. That being said I won't condemn those two brands either, I personally had a 24" KMC wheel crack on my 06...

The EPA is a government agency that is the definition of inefficiency as far as operations go. That being said I don't think it's their fault that VW cheated, but every light Diesel engine is going to pay the price. GM is going through similar things with the diesel Colorado/Canyon and Cruze...

Had 20% life left with right at 8k on my last change

Fathers company just placed an order for around 200 Laramie EcoDiesels, somebody knows something we don't or FCA just couldn't turn away the cash........ interested to see what plays out here

They said something in the TSB that the flash recalibrates how the oil life percentage deal works, but near as I can tell it's still right at 10,000 mile intervals
