    P20EE Let the Fun begin.....

    Truck has had some strange things going on over the last few weeks and unfortunately it was in and out of the body shop with issues so I haven't been able to diagnose or take it to the dealer. Since then I also rolled over 80k so the emissions warranty might not help. I noticed over the last few...

    White residue in exhaust? DEF?

    Just wrapped up a 1800mile trip and it seemed to have poor fuel economy and consumed a lot of DEF for what we did. Averaged 22mpg which is terrible but I had 4 bikes on the back. Maybe they acted like a sail? I’ve averaged that towing 5-6k before. Also used just under half a tank of DEF. Today I...

    Driving with broken active shutter?

    Hit a small deer on my way home today at 55mph and the truck took it like a champ. Broke the active shutter and seems stuck in the down position. I’m assuming it’s fine to drive, no towing or anything and it’s cold out. If anything I can probably jam it open. What do you guys think? I’m sure I...

    Floating connector? Where should it go? Help!

    I was changing my oil yesterday and as I was filling it I saw a connector that appeared to be floating instead of being properly fastened down. It had the plastic friction plugs on it so I should go somewhere but I could not find it. Maybe someone could share a picture of where it should go? The...

    Fishing rod holders?

    Curious if anyone has a good setup they could share for carrying fishing rods. I have an American roll cover with the rack so I wanted to add something to that that doesn’t cost more than all my fishing rods combined. I don’t care if the rods/reels are exposed but would like the ability to lock...

    P225D Let the fun begin....

    Hoping it’s a fluke but just filled my truck and as I started it back up got my first CEL at 56k miles. P225D, NOx Sensor 1/1 Performance - Signal Stuck Low. Hoping it’s a fluke. Truck was low on fuel, light was not on with ~90miles left on range. Filled it with 28.8 gal and covered 727miles of...

    Bolt PN help for washer fluid reservoir

    Struggling to find this bolt PN and the body shop that worked on my truck is wasting to much time to get this sorted for me so I’d rather just order it myself but can’t find the PN. They want me to drop the truck so they can make sure.....it’s visible from the top and I’m not asking to see if...

    10ft dune flag mount options?

    Curios how some are mounting off road flags to the front of their vehicles. I unfortunately don’t have the off road pack so no tow hooks up front....at least at the moment. I’ll be visiting a friend who lives near the silver lake dunes in Michigan and I wanted to take the truck out on the sand...

    Best place for OEM parts?

    I’m sure it’s on here somewhere but I was looking for input where the best place might be to buy OEM emblems. Like many, I want to replace mine with black OEM parts. Not interested in painting or knocks off. Tried Amazon and was supposed to be OEM but was definitely not. Don’t want to deal with...

    Engine hours! Let’s see what you have.

    Hit 1000hrs today so it made me Curious to see others engine hour totals vs mileage on their trucks. I feel like I never idle mine so 88 of the 1000hrs sounds high. Haven’t looked into the manual yet but I assume when the vehicle is in drive it counts towards drive time regardless if I’m moving...

    Charging System Service?

    I got my monthly vehicle "health report" via an email and it says I need to service the charging system? I don't have any lights or faults in the truck? Is this a legitimate issue? Anyone else ever see this. Truck has 34k miles.

    Stuck Turn Signal

    Curious if anyone else has had this issue. When turning left the turn signal will not automatically shut off after the turn is completed. It happens about half of the time. Is this something easy to look into? Id prefer to not take it to the dealer if I can troubleshoot myself a bit.

    Cluster "Off Road" Status Page question?

    I happen to have the "Off Road" page selected on my cluster screen the other day and I noticed that when I drive straight, all the axles are grey/white on the screen. When I turn left or right, they all change to yellow/gold. Anyone know what that's about, manual doesn't really clarify. I know...

    DEF fill at the pump?

    Just curious if anyone has used the DEF at the fuel pump? I have a TA station relatively close but haven't made it out there to see if the DEF nozzle would even fit. Its also $2.90 a gallon which is nice. Also not sure if the DEF meets the ecodiesel requirements.

    What rear seat cover are you buying?

    Curious what people here have purchased and their opinion. Looking for a cover for the rear seat. Would be nice to retain the 60/40 split but that’s not a requirement. Main reason is protect the seats from kids car seats and all the crap they spill. Right now leaning towards the weathertech...

    Memory seats keep activating?

    So I picked up my 2021 Laramie Ecodiesel 1 week ago and I absolutely love this thing but today while driving the memory seats kept trying to activate. I would constantly get a message that seats can’t be adjusted while in motion. Then when I pressed the 1, it said position 2 recalled. I pressed...
