    How Many Have Been Using Their Block Heater This Winter?

    I installed a Noco Plug years ago - lower plastic piece below bumper. I normally plug her in when temps get below 10*F or cooler @ work. She normally is kept in a warm garage when not at work. During the winter months when parked in the garage - the batteries are connected (quick disconnects)...

    Oil change intervals

    I don't tow much during the winter months - but I normally limit my short trips - I always drive until my coolant & engine oil temps are up to at least 190*F for 15-20min. (to hopefully evaporate as much moisture out of the oil as possible) I have since the first OCI - Change Oil & Filter every...

    Air Filters - Wix or Fleetguard from Amazon Fuel Filters I chose to install this kit 2 weeks ago --> http://www.dieselfuelfilterkits.com/13_present_cummins_fuel_filter_kit.html I did not use the CAT filter - due to the Aluminum top plate and the filter Base is all aluminum - This will cause...

    Engine Oil Experiences 2013+ Non-Deleted

    Just Throwing this new option out there! Possibly a good choice for those who don't tow Med/Heavy 24/7... Low ASH or Basically Very Low Levels of ZDDP... Basically more time between Regens and Longer DPF life - (Possibly) But the Owner still has to drive like a civilized human being as well...

    RedLine Engine Knock

    I don't own one - so what does that statement have to do with (at one time Mobil producing a 0W-20 oil specifically for Toyota)? Just Curious ---- You quoted me! Yup show me - any data or advertising stating 16W oils provide less engine wear compared to a 30Wt or 40Wt. You won't! Only talk of...

    RedLine Engine Knock

    Chris: I think if I remember correctly @ one time. Mobil made that 0W-20 just for Toyota and their specific specs. I also remember it have a decent amount of Moly within the formulation -- Very High Quality Oil.

    When to plug it in

    Just read an article - That actually put emphasis on if your truck was going to be out in the elements for more then 15-24 hrs or more before your next start up - it's best to plug your truck in just after you park it - while the coolant & oil are still @ operating temp. Makes sense but - would...

    RedLine Engine Knock

    Tim: I only hope you were attempting to make a Joke? RL oils carry some of the most Robust/Stoutest formulations you will find! Not one of the RL Viscosity oils Need a cheap over the counter oil additive added. Their base oils are second to none as well. The 5.7L has a engine design flaw (weak...

    RedLine Engine Knock

    Thus the main reason I chose to run Triax Lubricants - This company has not fallen to be a ***** of the API. I'm no follower - For my new 6.7L - I want the highest quality formulation I could find for under $30 a gallon. https://www.triaxlubricants.com/

    I went ahead & deleted my Thoughts & Opinions due to certain family members have told me I need to think of other younger members whom have sensitive feelings & these thoughts & opinions even though backed up with actual results might offend others. Truth is I don't give 4 $hits - but I'm...

    New 2017 HD2500 6.7L CTD

    Perfect time to beef up & add a block heater cord - along with a Noco plug in adapter in the front bumper. Temps today were 65*F. Also purchased a high quality timer - which will detect temps below freezing @ close the circuit & begin the warming process! Also can be programmed to come...

    Trans. cooler

    Ok - I understand. Might have to go so far as adding a electrical fan.

    Trans. cooler

    NM stays decently warm year round - I personally would install the by-pass thermal delete block - then observe temps while towing! If your still not comfortable with the cooler temps - then look into upgrading coolers or adding another in-line cooler.

    When to plug it in

    Watch your temps close @ time of start up! Honesty I say 2 hrs is a minimum. Adding a timer will save some $$$ on electricity - but it still ALL Depends on ambient temp & Wind Chill factor & time out in these elements! Below 15°F I'm believing 4 hrs is the min. I have no clue how much...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Just finished up my winter oil change & also since the oil filter was off - I had room to connect the engine block heater cord to block heater element. The 15W-40 is 100% Synthetic - Loaded with Boron/Moly! Also added a Noco GCP1 AC port plug to the front bumper for easy quick plug in access.

    When to plug it in

    My opinion: FIRST if your NEW Ram sits out in that cold 24/7? - I would run a 5W-40 viscosity oil. As for what temp to actually plug it in? My 2017 sits in a warm garage (40-50°F) while at home during the winter. I say to the anal owner like myself - if you have plans on keeping your New Ram...

    carbon cleaner

    HSS Diesel Extreme - I feel (after doing a few months of research) has a very strong detergent package! Give it a look - as well as Schaeffers Carbon Treat but it's almost impossible to find a local jobber!

    Diesel Fuel additives and filler neck frustration

    Soki: Here is the small funnel I bought & use for additives. It’s a small funnel but the neck is plenty long enough to go through & past the check ball at least 2 in. I actually have a small (Tupperware tote) that I keep it in as well as the smaller additive funnel for the wifes Ford ST...
