Hey guys! Just traded my 2005 2500 hemi for my first ever diesel, a 2017 2500 Mega Cab Laramie. Loving it so far! Can’t believe how far they have come and how I have lived without all these bells and whistles for so long! Ha
Would appreciate any tips for a newbie diesel owner. Thanks!

Congrats!

Just do the routine maintenance described in the manual and enjoy it, doesn't need anything special. People often over-think what is required on a modern diesel.

Welcome to the forum! Any plans for addons/upgrades to your new truck? Post any pics of it yet on the forum?
