Buy new Ecodiesel After HPFP Fix?

[NCRaineman]

Dealer is offering similar discounts on gas 1500's.

Sure. High prices and stupid interest rates are killing demand. Reason none of the manufacturers freaked out over the union strike... dealer lots are overloaded with unsold vehicles. I bought a leftover 2022 Charger back in July that had been on the lot for practically a year. There are still more unsold '22s out there, and the 24's are already starting to arrive.

I bought one of the ecodiesel w the replaced HPFP. Paperwork included an info kit on the recall and new pump - basically saying to not use bio fuel greater than 20%. See pic.

BTW - got a Larame w the B equip group, MSRP $72k, purchase price $53k, out the door $60k (Calif taxes).

I saw one person who claimed the Bio limit once the update was done was 5% so glad to hear what that person posted is wrong being some states like MN have a B20 mandate most of the year. Also can you post a photo of where it states not to use more than 20% so the info it can be passed on to other diesel forums?

More precisely, it says to use no more than 5% bio diesel, unless you can't get it in your state. Then up to 20% is ok, but be sure to use it up within 30 days. Image of exact wording attached.

One more stipulation in the details of the HPFP addendum - if you use fuel with greater than 5% bio diesel (up to max of 20%), the oil and fuel filter change increment becomes 8,000 miles or 6 months (instead of the standard 10,000 miles or 12 months)

Wowzers... On the Cummins diesel the owners manual states when using B6-to B20 our oil & oil filter life is shorten from 12/15K to 12/12,500 miles... I double checked owners manual and saw nothing about fuel filter life being cut short my self I would not let fuel or oil filters go longer than 12/10K if I was constantly burning B-20...
