    Too much oil and poor dealer help

    I had a cracked fuel tube on a 8V92 Detroit . You can smell your oil on the dip stick If there is diesel in it you will be able to smell it . I know it may sound funny but you can also taste antifreeze in your oil . Good luck on driving around with 2 gallons of diesel in it . Hope they fix it...

    SRW or DRW

    I have been towing a 15 k 5th wheel for 11 years . About 80k miles . I just fought heavy crosswinds and head winds from Texas to California it was very stable . AS Brutal said if you are not going to be over on your pin weight an SRW is the way to go . 2 less tires to buy . Easier to park ...

    CAUGHT: 2025 Ram 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4×4

    I guess their truck designers are seriously lacking in ideas or the company is to too cheap to do a complete redesign on Hd's . Until they do I am keeping my 2020 !

    2022 High mileage motor failures?

    If you are going to idle for long periods you need to bump the idle up to at least a 1000 RPM's . Even in the old trucks you raised the idle to prevent cylinder wash / oil dilution .

    new 2022 blue DEF code format

    I just put a jug of blue def in my truck . I flattened the card board box and under the bottom inside flap was the date in plain english 8 November 23 . Naturally you have to take the box apart to read it . It would be to easy to do that on the outside of the box .

    Battery problems after relay safety recall repair

    Buy a battery tester on line . Not expensive and very easy to use . you can run battery life , volts ,cold cranking amps etc . Saves you much time money and frustration when trying to figure out if they are good or bad .

    Unless it is really cold just put your foot on the brake and press the start button twice rapidly and it will fire right up .
