I have been Lucky enough to have taken 2months of vacation time... I live in Illinois .. And it is cold and crappy here. My biggest worry that with my truck sitting for so long and it getting cold here that the battery would go dead.. I put one of those small solar charges on it that goes in the power source... Not sure if it helped but I am glad to say the truck started up perfect after not being driven for so long. After sitting in plane seat and uber cars( although in Dubai all the uber cars are Lexus).. I was so glad to get back into my truck and drive it .... it drives better the Lexus uber cars I rode in..
I am having one issue that someone may have a thought on.. I use the remote start in the morning to warm the truck up.. For about 10 mins.. I don't drive very far daily right now because I like to stay in the winter.. But I have notice that my mpg has dropped terribly and there is a bad smell .. I figured maybe it is trying to regen but will just not get hot enough while idle and the short daily drive to feed my flock at my barn... I did take it out on the highway a few days ago just in case it needed to do full regen.. I have not gotten any codes ect..but mpg is still shit.. I was getting 24 mpg in town and 29 average since I bought the truck on Aug.. Any idea why my mpg sucks? I had 1/2 tank of bio diesel and filled the rest with #2 diesel the Caseys in town just got straight diesel.. Every other place is bio in town.
