    First time oil change

    I'm changing the oil for the first time on my 2018 Cummins. I previously had it done at the dealer or another shop. But with as much as they are charging now, I figured I'd finally just do it myself. I've got the filters (oil and fuel) coming from Geno's Garage. What other tools do you...

    Oil change - install fuel filters separately?

    I've got fuel filters for my 2018 Cummins coming in from Geno's Garage this week. However, I've got time in my schedule to do the oil change before the fuel filters arrive. Is there any negative (other than time/convenience) if I install the fuel filters a couple days after I do the oil...

    Engine block draw

    I think I've got a GFI problem as my engine block heater trips any 15 amp outlet I try. It just started happening recently after a couple years of plugging in. I don't have anything new plugged into the outlet. It has been getting into the high teens. I had a shop test the cord and element and...

    Inching toward a delete

    Until I fully delete, I'm taking incremental steps to improve efficiency of my '18 Cummins. What can I expect from a simple replacement of the OEM air filter to a K&N? I don't expect miracles. Do I need the cold intake as well? For those who've done it, what has been your experience?

    Basic questions re: "deleting," etc...

    I'm exposing myself here as not particularly "technical," although I quite capable of learning and finding my way through technical info. I've always loved diesel power and have had 5 diesel trucks- one Duramax, two PowerStroke, one EcoDiesel, and now my Cummins (also a Mercedes ML 350 for my...

    Mud flaps

    I have two neighbors that are LEO. They both said my jurisdiction has a law mandating (rarely enforced) mud flaps on cars and trucks. It got me thinking; I don't have mud flaps on my 2018 Ram 2500 6.7 but understand the benefit of keeping mud off the body of my truck. Who here actually uses...

    2018 Delmonico Red PRV?

    I bought a pristine used 2018 Ram 2500 6.7l diesel. I wouldn't have chosen Delmonico Red new (Sport Package), but I admit the color has grown on my quickly (especially because I got a good deal on a rig with 900 miles!). I've noticed a few minor (Rain Man) chips in the paint that I want to...

    OEM engine block heater cord

    I searched the archives but didn't see an answer in there. I want to pick up an engine block heater cord for my '18 2500 CTD. Is it necessary (advisable) to get the OEM cord or is there a suitable aftermarket cord that will work? My dealer wants $75 for the OEM part but I paid quite a bit less...

    2018 Ram 2500 Cummins

    I just traded my 2015 EcoDiesel for a 2018 2500. We needed more internal space and of course the extra power of the "dream" diesel is also nice. We just did our first road trip and enjoyed all the new trimmings. Am I correct that my 2018 is considered 4th Gen? Looking forward to learning a...
