They are great for hooking up trailers. Where did you put yours?  Bumper or headache rack?

CEL comes on with 3 codes a few miles before the DEF alarm comes on.  thats not very nice.  truck stop's DEF pump we planned on bulk filling at was damaged and blocked off. 

had to brown box 6 gallons for 45$ from rando gas station boo

this time CEL appeared upon startup in PA departure for home.  not sure if it had anything to due with the 30 minute idle waiting to head to AOAA   ::)



CEL read as too high frequency of regen DEF Filter
no restriction of power on the way home.

maintenance schedual wants rear diff fluid changed every 15K miles with towing.  that seems annoying.

I think that seems a little bit more than annoying. I think perhaps "ludicrous" or "insane" might be more of what you are looking for

that's  how they get people to void warranty
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

just to clarify:

65K is trans fluid service interval

truck currently has just shy of 15K miles

Standard operating status for dodge light duty trans.

But for real why not put a girdle on it before the rebuild instead of after?
