I have a 2018 Ecodiesel. I bought in June. I put 500 miles a week Monday-Friday. Going to have to have the air filter replaced. Did the fuel filter at 20k, is there any other maintenance recommended, that is not listed in the owners manual.

What is a reasonable expectation on the life of this engine and or transmission. I bought this truck for the mileage rating and longevity (hopefully)

I've got a 2018 also. While I don't put on the miles that the OP does, the first thing I did was a GDE tune at 345 miles and then installed an Amsoil remote bypass filter system after my first oil change @ 7K.

I would love to hear about the bypass filter and how it is installed. Pictures would be awesome. Have you had an oil analysis done since you installed the filter? Thanks

I don't intend at the moment to do oil analysis since I don't intend to put much more than 10K per year on this truck. I did the remote filter @ 7000 purely as an "insurance policy". Cleaner oil cannot but help with longevity.
I took the feed off the "oil pressure sender" and mounted the filter on the L. front frame rail where its easy access during normal oil changes. I routed the return line into the side of the filler tube. My plan is to dump and refill the remote filter during yearly oil changes and to CHANGE the remote filter every other oil change.
My cell was on video instead of still when I too pics and the file is apparently too large to upload. Sorry.
