Great writeup, great pix! Thanks.

2 purchases: In 2021 I gave up $500 in incentives for 0% over...7 years (?). In 2022 I gave up $1,000 in incentives for 0% for 5 years. Both loans were right about $25,000. I'll let the advanced ROI whizzes figure out what my APR was (and, yes, please include inflation...because that's what I...

Pay the $300. After they check it, get your $300 back. <- Of course, that assumes your repair is under warranty.

45,500.

Yeah, I put a very similar one in a few years ago. Let me look and see if my thread is floating around... Catch Can for the ecoDiesel without throwing codes? From T&S Speed shop, but it looks identical?

Ok, it happened. Driving up a mountain pass (Fancy Gap, I-77, VA/NC border), at speed, I got some error messages and a check engine light. "Service Electronic Throttle Body" and "Service Electronic Stability Control". Both associated lights illuminated as did the MIL/CEL. Truck drove, but with...

Well, if you tell them there is an issue with warranty and want to see/record the HPFP being pulled, and then have it examined, that should show what failed. (Hard to think anything could've caused it.) For that money, consider a lawyer. Blanket the dealer with paper so that you are assured...

About 2,800 miles. Bud Clary in Seattle to North Carolina. Had a plan to spend about 2 weeks driving, hitting a bunch of national parks and trails...but the wife demanded that she accompany me. With her came her work schedule. So, 5 (easy) days, hitting tourist spots at lunch and early...

Yes. My opinion is changed: it is BETTER than I first thought. :) I went for all the options (gear control, braking, messaging). I think every ecoDiesel should get this tune. Side benefit? My consumption of DEF has plummeted.

I'm in! I like the current GDE tune enough that I'm sure any improvement will be just as worthwhile.

Capacity... Look at page 437 in the owner's manual. It varies from 11.6 quarts (in my EcoDiesel) up to 18.3 for the Hemi. FWIW, based on feedback above about how the diesel turns the coolant acidic, I'm now planning to do a drain and fill of the coolant once a year (about 10,000 miles).

Obviously, the fan shouldn't run if the coolant is too cool. (The exception being if AC is on, to pull air across the condenser.) If the sensor is bad, it could be completing the fan control circuit when it shouldn't, causing the radiator to be too cool. My thought, if the thermostat is stuck...

Gah! Good job pulling it and cleaning it.

Like others have said, there's no need to use anything from the old pan other than the bolts. Make sure you have a new gasket.

Yep, that all looks right! You have the deep pan, so you (correctly) added the deep-neck filter. (One is included with the pan, btw.) The viton 1" o-rings are the ones that fit the drain port. You're good to go. Your setup will add ~2 quarts over the stock fill (deep pan). ("normal" PPE pan is...
