Well thank you for the feed back ! Really appreciate it !Welcome Luis!
For the most part, you have nothing to worry about. We usually get members here that want to talk about something being wrong rather than posting, "My truck is running great today!". So, I would say it's a very percentage that have issues. Just drive it and enjoy it!
Welcome to the forum.
Thank you so much for the tips !!1 Keep Your DEF tank Full, when 2/3 full add 2.5 gallons to Fill
2 In hot summer months don't let your Fuel Tank drop below 1/4, The fuel is used to cool all HP (High Pressure) injection components. whenever possible Keep fuel tank full if convenient .
3 Use T-6 Rotella oil.
4 Buy command center I prefer Banks IQ, set gages to Read DPF temps and active mode continue to drive until the Active read is complete.. You don't need to always allow completion you just want it to finish the cycle regularly.
5 Remove all the sound insulation and Pump CP4 cover... This is for sound and will effect the life of all HPCR components. Clear coat the entire engine compartment after the Sound insulation is removed
6 Dia-electric every connection including the big Harness under the body. This will take 2-4 hrs for all of them and I mean all form Head lamps to tail lights.
7 Do OAs (oil Sampling) 5-8K miles until the wear levels drop and remain constant It may take 4-6 OAs to know what you got well spent $120 Blackstone.
