2018 Ram 1500 Eco diesel

[Imbusy78]

New to the page and the diesel world as I just purchased my first in a 2018 1500 ecodiesel. Only driven a few times but so far I'm tickled. I've been reading up on peddle commander to eliminate the throttle lag but thought I'd drive a bit to see if I get used to it.

Read up on mopar recommendations for maintenance and seems reasonable with changing fuel filter every other oil change and draining every change....anything else I should know?

Read up on the GDE tune, deleting the EGR, DPF, and the SGR (catalitic converter I think)
Grab one of those drain plug things for the oil changes, and everyone says to only use Mopar fuel filters. For oil they say Ecoguard is okay, but I grabbed a Mopar one for now.

@WhiteLighting is on point.. welcome to the forum as well!

I was already looking into GDE. Emailed to inquire about of it would effect warranty. (They say dealership wont pick up change unless I tell them so that's nice)

 

[WhiteLighting]

It's the first thing I would do ;-)

Oh and checkout CFT performance as well. Everyone says they are a top notch diesel shop.

I know I saw the fuel filter housing tool somewhere but I'm having trouble locating it again. One of you point me in right direction or have the link?

I dont think that was the brand but I'm not picky! Haha thanks!. Still have a few thousand miles before first oil change and water drain but figured I'd get ahead of it
