    Why Is My Remote Start Not Activating Heated Seats/ Steering Wheel?

    It's not often needed here in Southern Arizona but we can have some chilly mornings. When I first bought my truck new 4 years ago, remote start would always activate the heated seats and steering wheel, but no longer. What could be wrong? Last year they had to put in a entire whole new radio...

    Does Not Using the Block Heater Affect Twin Battery Life?

    Has anyone noticed ill affects on the lifespan of the 2 batteries by not using the block heater and instead, daily relying upon the grid heater? We don't get a lot of cold here where I live, but with long winter nights it can still get quite chilly, and the grid heater must work, and my guess...

    Is Hot Shot's Secret Stiction Eliminator Oil Additive a Good Product?

    I realize that some view additives as snake oil, but I was wondering if any Cummins owners here have used Hot Shot's Secret Stiction Eliminator Oil Additive. In reading reviews at Tractor Supply, I am impressed. What say you? Manufacturer states that the product replaces 2 quarts of oil at the...

    CTD Flaw: Heater Grid Bolt

    This guy speaks of one of the flaws of the CTD, the "heater grid bolt" that rots, comes loose, goes down the intake into the # 6 cylinder and causes complete engine failure. Sounds like this is something I need to do a preventative intervention on. Looking for others to weigh in on this..... If...

    CTDs Can Suffer If Not Worked Hard. Please Elaborate

    I have many times heard folk here say that if a CTD is not regularly put under a heavy load and worked hard, that it can be somehow damaged. But, I'd like to get some details on that; an explanation backed up with the laws of physics, as to why this is so. So far, all I've heard is that light...

    Diesel Pre-heat Time of Year

    It's that time of year again. Plug in the block heater or let the system activate "Diesel Preheat." I'm interested to know how the "preheat" system works, technically. Seems to me that it is a tremendous drain on the batteries.

    Yesterday my navigation system turned squirrely. Command of "navigation" opened it but when I spoke the address, it did not input. Tried several times, all with errors. However, when I spoke "Sprouts Farmers Market," it did give me choices of locations, and route guidance was accurate. But...

    The 5th Gen 6.7L Has Push Rods the Size of Tree Trunks

    303 Aerospace UV Protectant For Tires

    I bought a set of these Bridgestone Duravis last February (8 months) and this is my second application of 303 Aerospace UV Protestant on them. The stuff is "out of this world." Restores to a pitch black, dries with no residue and is non-greasy, and does NOT attract dust at all. Lasts a LONG...

    303 Touchless Sealant

    I tried 303 "Touchless Sealant," a new product to me. I followed directions and only applied a light missing while the vehicle was still wet, in sections, and immediately rinsed off.

    DPF. Learning, Ever Learning

    2019 3500 HO dually, w/ 21K miles here. I monitor how my DPF is doing regularly. When it goes into a regen, it lets me know automatically. Sometimes I will see it partially full as in this picture, and driving empty on a highway, at 1,900 rpm--without a regen--it will clear itself. And I will...

    "Breather Filter" What is it?

    I've cued this Youtube to the part where Cummins Roger Hapka mentions "the breather filter" needing service at 75,000 miles. I am wondering. Is he speaking of the air filter? What is "the breather filter?" https://youtu.be/v1hHtubuFDg?t=360

    A friend just had a very close call on the highway when he had to steer almost all the way into the gravel shoulder to avoid a headon with a wreckless driver that was passing multiple cars around a bend in the road. We both decided getting a dash cam would be a good idea. Send that video to...
