Exactly; we all bought diesel's for the fuel mileage and characteristics of a diesel engine. And lubricity of the fuel. Low engine temps and longevity. (Sorry I just had a huge rant about this all)
And nobody should be crying about a little higher fuel costs
The recall is based on the assumption that anyone in cold climate ordered their truck with a factory installed block heater cord. Not referencing that the engine has a heating element regardless. So it's completely dependant on the build sheet if it were to come with a factor installed block...
I get hit at the pump either way but the diesel doesn't hurt quite so bad. Gas is 1.79, premium for the BMW is 2.39 and is lucky to see 20MPG highway so it stays in town sucking up premium. And winter blend diesel is 2.24/2.29 now. But it's barely moved since I got the truck in may at 2.59. Gas...
Have you seen the one from Geno's garage? Requires drill install and the torsion bar already in our tailgates doesn't completely let it down without applying pressure, BUT it also features lift assist so 2 finger tailgate closing
Dealer couldn't get it in, even though I called ahead. 20 some odd codes mostly from the deer hit but we'll see. They'll take it in after the body work is all done I guess. 2 weeks or so
I'm with you I get shit mileage. Maybe it's Minnesota roads. Maybe 10-12 towing a 16' enclosed tandem axle trailer. Loaded or empty. Pickup box trailer with a Topper, ~12MPG
Hell I'm driving completely empty on I-29 right now; cruise at 76 in 8th gear with a 10-14MPH headwind and I can't break...
So bringing the truck out of town to the body shop this morning I get blessed with a check engine light on top of everything.
Just turned 20k
And of course truck is going to the body shop for 2-3 weeks so I took most personal items out including my scanner and I left it at home instead of just...
20k miles and I think I've put in 3x2.5gal adBlue jugs and 8$ from the truck stop at 2.79/gal. Have a hair under half a tank. That's lifetime. Not bad. Like you said it's not enough to count the pennies on
When you're 2 hours from the nearest truck stop with DEF on tap but only 5 minutes from case IH? I think I'll try and bug them.
And I intermittently add to my DEF tank because I usually use the 2.5gal jugs and just throw one in when it's around half. I've only done on tap once but Case should...
I agree my drivers seat is stretched to all hell and looks like shit. I just haven't gotten into the battle with the dealer regarding it yet.
It seems to be an isolated issue with the ventilated seats and ongoing since this generations release with the feature
I've heard the prairie Pearl to be difficult to match and I've seen white gold with leer completely fail to match as well as white. But your cap looks good.
One thing I don't care for with the leer is it seems to have a pretty big gap between the cab which I never understood
