ODD DISCOVERY/ OBSERVATION
Hey everyone!
I’m enjoying my SKT so far but the other morning and one of my very first mornings with SKT I had an odd scenario occur. The following conditions were present:
1. Cold as balls (under 20 degrees F on the evic)
2. Block heater not plugged in.
3. Truck...
We have discussed how many miles on our trucks... But a quick forum search turned up nothing for engine hours. Currently I have
507 idle
3298 driving
3805 total
As people have related miles to a motor, I feel hours are just as equal in the equations when discussing bearing failure, egr leaks...
Technically you should be running the assless chaps leather grill cover that FCA reccomends for anything under 50F but mine did fine today at 20F around 50mph
Had the same song and dance. Ended up being glow plug bud. Dealer should get it no problem. If they fight and bitch and complain take it to an actual diesel shop.
I would say possibly if the viscosity was too thick but I don’t see 10 day oil destroying these motors, more like previous damage from the motor. If jiffy changed the oil those shavings wouldn’t have been in there IMO...
I am no aem update and I have almost had to shove the button through the wheel and hold it for it to kick on. Since the tuner I have not had an issue. I believe it’s software related but fca wouldnt bother to deny it
OBSERVATION AND OPINION.
I want to do a follow up post today based off my opinions of the conversation between green diesel and tc diesel. While the scientific stuff is great knowledge and the logic of less regens means cleaner and so on and so forth... My primary concern and eagerness to find...
UPDATE
I averaged 17.5 hand and evic calculated.
I pulled my utility trailer (see pic) to the dump down windy hilly back roads 25 miles to the dump.
I pulled my dads tractor with snow plow about 50 miles on the highway.
Again, my speedometer is not calibrated for my 35’s but prior to the...
UPDATE.
1500 miles on the tune!
1. I wish the trans would stay in the gears a little longer. It feels to me as if it’s shifting a bit premature. That being said I’m averaging around 20 mpg hand calculated and 18.5 on the evic. NOW this could be because my speedometer isn’t calibrated for 35’s...
