    Cannot get Parts

    You can remove the wheel well liner for easier access (it's not hard). makes a huge difference on the drivers side where the fuel tank is in the way.

    Wanted

    Look for take offs on Craigslist or Facebook. If you are up for a road trip to Lino Lakes MN, Waldoch's has take offs they sell when they customize trucks. https://www.waldoch.com/ They don't show them on their web site but if you call they will tell you what they have.

    Traction Control - Use In Tow/Haul Mode, or Not

    Just leave it on. Traction control and stability control are to different things. Traction control keeps the wheels from spinning (hard to do burnouts) and stability control keeps the car/truck form loosing control while in motion. On most vehicles stability control turns back on at a certain...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    I spent time on Submarines. Every summer we would get midshipmen assigned. After we got underway we would get them all dressed up in a rain suit and life jacket and tell them they were going to get the mail from the mail buoy.

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    Brake fluid is hygroscopic so as stated above it's a good idea to change it. Living in Colorado with the dry climate does help make it last longer.

    TMPS sensors reading high

    Elevation also affects the reading. The TPMS sensors read absolute pressure and your tire gauge reads the pressure based on atmospheric pressure and the TPMS is calibrated for sea level. As you go higher in elevation atmospheric pressure drops but the absolute pressure inside the tire is still...

    Particulate Matter Sensor vs DPF sensor - are they the same - Emissions Recall Y43

    Those were probably already en route to the dealer before the strike affected parts. I don't know about Fed Ex but UPS will not cross picket lines so not likely anything will come unless already in the shippers hands.

    Particulate Matter Sensor vs DPF sensor - are they the same - Emissions Recall Y43

    They are not likely to get the parts anytime soon. Earlier this week UAW shut down GM and Stellantis parts warehouses and distribution centers as part of the ongoing strike.

    Diesel question

    Just to be clear, the 10 speed that GM & Ford jointly developed is not in the 2500/250/3500/350. It's in the 150/1500s and some cars.

    Healthy voltage level? (Yes Newb)

    It's normal. All 3 truck manufacturers lower alternator voltage at times to help CAFE numbers on 150s/1500s (and cars). It should read ~14V right after you start it.

    Ram 2023 Limited diesel vs 2023 Yukon Denali diesel

    That's not true. GM stopped using the CP4 after 2016. They switched to a Denso fuel system which both the 6.6l and the 3l use.

    SERVICE FUEL FILTER RESET

    Go to the fuel filter percentage on the dash (not the message), then push the right arrow and you should have the option to reset. This must be done with ignition on and engine off. Jay
