    Seeking wisdom. I heard someone say that the stopcock on the fuel filter should be opened once per month to drain any water from the fuel water separator. Any truth to this? If so, should it be done at front AND rear? One or the other? Thanks!

    Engine check light - Code P0299

    What oil comes in the 2500 with CTD off the lot? Dino? Synthetic? Brand? Anyone know? And to all you guys who's philosophy is that oil is oil and it doesn't matter, assume your opinion has already been noted but I still want an answer to the question. ;)
