Almost 300k on brakes is equally impressive

Thank you @BoostN

so a few things wrong with the fuel filter procedure, 1.) book states to cycle the key with the Phillips drain open to drain without having to open it and break the vacuum. (I have not done this yet for a filter change so I'm not positive how thoroughly it drains and I have a solid drain plug...

Yes and I stated that in the Post. Even though I Used "limited slip friction modified fluid" I still added the mopar friction modifier. But that being said, @Capt Tim stated that he has a standard open differential. Not limited slip.

Holy shit 341,000 miles?! I thought about contracting for the travel Trailer transports but around here they're 100% requiring a 2500 or better with 27k gvw endorsement. So no dice

You realize we are only a year away from wrenching on these things in our garages, which was the point I tried to make above. Lifting a cab and doing a long block is not entirely out of the grasp for some guys. My motor blows and Warranty won't pick it up? I'm not floating a 10-15k dealer...

And you will probably never see it, but I work just a mile from home, so if I just run back and forth to work all week or two, errands right in town, tack on held time etc.. it can never complete the passive regeneration process. It's not a problem or like anything is broken. It's just a dummy...

@Scott7091968 how do you like the atw and how many miles do you have on them? I was on the edge between the 4 season and going with the mt. (Stt pro). It was a very tough decision for me and I took a pretty good hit on MPG's for it.

It sounds like you're asking me to work on this. ;)

@BoostN I think it's time to sticky this! @Capt Tim had to ask me where to find the service thread because it's a page back now!

So I was reading through the service manual recently and realized I had been performing the fuel filter drain service all wrong! I like many people struggled to get a reasonable flow for the drain so I ordered the solid brass drain plug from Geno's. Come to find out, procedure states to open...

T6 is the mopar recommended oil now. There is an updated owners manual available to download via ram website and it is in the diesel supplement. I have it in as my last oil change just for the low cost and convenience for availability. Opposed to ordering champion oil that I was before.

You know they won't change anything until there's actually competition. So next year after the Ford 3L diesel gets some figures and miles behind it we might finally see an update. Until then?

First failure I'd heard of anyways. Be sure to update us with the resolution!

To be completely honest, I'm surprised that quote isn't the other way around

I hate that dealers do that shit. Pretty sure that is gas intervals and they just don't care
