    First time oil change

    Should I pick up some oil plug gaskets? If so, does anyone know the Mopar part number?

    First time oil change

    I'm changing the oil for the first time on my 2018 Cummins. I previously had it done at the dealer or another shop. But with as much as they are charging now, I figured I'd finally just do it myself. I've got the filters (oil and fuel) coming from Geno's Garage. What other tools do you...

    Oil change - install fuel filters separately?

    Thank you for the responses. To confirm, I am talking about the fuel filters. I'll do the oil and oil filter together. Fuel filters separate. I'm good on the air filter as I recently changed that out.

    Oil change - install fuel filters separately?

    I've got fuel filters for my 2018 Cummins coming in from Geno's Garage this week. However, I've got time in my schedule to do the oil change before the fuel filters arrive. Is there any negative (other than time/convenience) if I install the fuel filters a couple days after I do the oil...

    Engine block draw

    The outlet I'll move to is wired for 20 amp. Hope it works.

    Engine block draw

    A little over two years old. But the builders didn’t always use top and parts.

    Engine block draw

    I think I've got a GFI problem as my engine block heater trips any 15 amp outlet I try. It just started happening recently after a couple years of plugging in. I don't have anything new plugged into the outlet. It has been getting into the high teens. I had a shop test the cord and element and...

    Inching toward a delete

    Until I fully delete, I'm taking incremental steps to improve efficiency of my '18 Cummins. What can I expect from a simple replacement of the OEM air filter to a K&N? I don't expect miracles. Do I need the cold intake as well? For those who've done it, what has been your experience?

    OEM engine block heater cord

    Great set up and likely very convenient. I've always just had the cord tucked away. Am I correct that you just have a mount installed, rather than having drilled a hole?

    Basic questions re: "deleting," etc...

    Thanks for both of these replies. I'm reading through a lot of stuff online and the general consensus of what I've been reading is "negative," as in "don't do it." I'm sure that's largely just to keep people informed of the potential consequences. I'm past the point where I want to gain crazy...

    Basic questions re: "deleting," etc...

    I'm exposing myself here as not particularly "technical," although I quite capable of learning and finding my way through technical info. I've always loved diesel power and have had 5 diesel trucks- one Duramax, two PowerStroke, one EcoDiesel, and now my Cummins (also a Mercedes ML 350 for my...

    Mud flaps

    I have two neighbors that are LEO. They both said my jurisdiction has a law mandating (rarely enforced) mud flaps on cars and trucks. It got me thinking; I don't have mud flaps on my 2018 Ram 2500 6.7 but understand the benefit of keeping mud off the body of my truck. Who here actually uses...

    2018 Delmonico Red PRV?

    I bought a pristine used 2018 Ram 2500 6.7l diesel. I wouldn't have chosen Delmonico Red new (Sport Package), but I admit the color has grown on my quickly (especially because I got a good deal on a rig with 900 miles!). I've noticed a few minor (Rain Man) chips in the paint that I want to...

    OEM engine block heater cord

    I think you are supposed go out to your truck on a cold morning and tell it that diesel pick ups in Oklahoma start up right away in frigid temps. That should get your Texas rig properly motivated. :D My general rule of thumb is if it goes below 30º F. That said, it was about 19º F this morning...

    OEM engine block heater cord

    Thank you- great info. I traded in the '15 ED so no worries about the switch!
