The DEF is injected into the exhaust ahead of the SCR to help with exhaust emissions, it has nothing to do with economy or fuel, if it was added to the fuel you would likely end up with a VERY EXPENSIVE repair. Modern diesel fuel lacks the sulpher that was used as a lubricant up until about...

Watch how you drive it, I have a 2017 BIG HORN 4X4 with 3.92 gears & stage one tune from SFT, I average about 23 when I don't watch how I drive, if I keep it around 64-66 mph it helps a lot, I also use hotshots EDT every fillup, and will occasionally ad diesel extreme, I also toss an ounce of...

Google it, you can get it on Amazon and other places, available for Android & Windows devices. It was about 50 bucks when I got mine & you will need a bluetooth diagnostic dongle for the OBD port, mine is an MX3. I've read of others using other brands, I think it needs to be an ELM327 dongle.

Reprogram ECM for what, exactly?

Awesome. Who is the governing country there?

First< buy ALFAOBD and an MX BLUTOOTH DONGLE, your 2018 will also require a security "key" cable to communicat with your truck, ALFA is available for android or windows, I installed mine on a KINDLE FIRE that I replaced. ALFA should hopefully let you do a stationary regen, it will also allow you...

I ordered VALVOLINE SYNTHETIC PREMIUM BLUE EXTREME when I used my last 3 gallons of T-6 , the valvoline meets all the specs including the latest specs for CUMMINS. I hate changing brands, but I hate not having enough on hand to do at least one oil change. Hopefully this resolves soon.

I think the ECO can be hit or mis, but mostly hit, I dtuned mine early at around 16 or 17k miles, a good engine & transmission tune can help limit/eliminate the problems that may or may not exist in the platform tune, I chose a tuner that allows the EGR to be shut off, I chose SOFA KING TUNED...

I guess we can only hope!

John, naysayers say the stiction elilinator is snake oil, our little engines already run high oil temps and that is why, to increase lubrication on the turbo at shutdown, rocker arms rings bearings etc. I used the products in my Duramax, some of them in the Powerstrokes,and will use them in my...

Also jolene, I legitimately got over 750,000 miles out of some of the Powerstrokes with routine maintenance, you also need to realize that their fhigh pressure fuel pump was different than modern diesels, but I feel additives are important.

I don't know why they don't recommend them, I do know that I've been a diesel Mechanic since 1979, I retired from an Ambulance service provider doing their maintenance and using the program that I developed in 1999, my schedules and products are still used today. Hot shots developed a product...

Ok, just making sure we were on the same page, I live in a dry climate so I don't have to worry much about water in fuel, just be aware that that cheap fuel filter could get real expensive real quick, I'd also recommend good fuel additives every tank, I use HOT SHOTS SECRET EDT every tank and...

I'm talking about the fuel filter, I've seen several pictures of aftermarket fuel filters that have come apart & contaminated things downstream of the filter, I've resolved to use only MOPAR fuel filters.

How do you monitor regens, stock instrumentation won't do it. Really is there a need to throw the f-bomb?

Don't use anything but MOPAR FUEL FILTERS! Other oil filters are fine but the other brands of fuel filters don't separate water properly!

I checked at WALMART last Friday & they had none, my local NAPA jobber had a pretty good stock the last time I lokked, I can run diluted DEF in my ECO, so not too worried, I'm more worried about the lube oil shortage.

I ordered from FLEABAY.

You will need a tune that allows deleting, an EGR delete kit, and at least a pipe to replace the DPF & SCR, or downpipe back past the SCR or to the rear. It should be a bolt in project.

Gee, when you start lifting a vehicle you alter driveline angles, it has NOTHING to do with incompatability, it's your responsibility to make sure those things are corrected and done properly and on your nickel. MAYBE the seller has some responsibility to inform you of this, it probably sates...
