GDE and many others have been shut down by the EPA. That's why it says sold out. I had the mod done and I don't see much if anything wrong. It's a little more laggy but not bad at all. maybe I got used to it but I have 119K on mine so I do drive a bunch. No check as yet but according to the...

I understand now. It certainly can happen to anything.

Wow. Tires wise I am running Nitto Terra Grappler G2's since 25K @ 42PSI. I generally do a 2-3 minute warm up in winter and I set my cruise for 75 on the highway. Most of my travelling is done via secondary roads @ 45-50 mph average. At 75 on the highway, I am averaging about 24-25 as I said...

Do you really see mileage that low? I average 24-25 consistently. The lowest I ever had was 18+ going to Canada last year towing. For over 50 miles I was stuck in stop and go traffic which decreased the average quite considerably. I have over 40K on my truck. Regarding the Bio usage, it depends...

With all due respect, nowadays an engine fire is extremely rare. In 35 years working on vehicles, I have only seen 4 and I haven't seen 1 in over 10 years. Sometimes, if involved in an accident, it can happen. A fire like this though; you rarely see them. It had to have some kind of issue.

Maybe not. However, most LDD's are using 5w-30 ultra low ash. Some use 15W-40 ultra low ash. The recommendation on the TSB of Rotella T6 which is a higher ash content oil from what I understand is worrisome. I am considering using Amsoil DEO which I stock which is DPF compatible if my research...

Good to hear, I have sold them to customers on Tundra and on a 3500 ram in LRE. Both like them. I like the 65k treadlife warranty and of course the traction.

I am more worried how this will affect DPF regeneration/clogging than any damage. I am not a fan of the Pennzoil so I use Amsoil with the OE filter until the Mann becomes available. The Mahle has the o-ring in the wrong place and while it may be ok, I am not taking the chance.

About 3k ago I installed a set of these. Here are my impressions: 1. MPG dropped about .5-1 MPG 2. Traction increased quite a bit everywhere 3. They are more noisy than stock but not bad 4. Ride seems exactly the same 5. They balanced perfectly with less weight than the stock Badyears. I did...
