    Shipping route from Saltillo Mexico to the US and Canada

    I think I ended up picking it up 5/7

    2021 3500 HO DRW transmission grinding from 3rd to 2nd

    '21 3500 HO- I get what might be a similar noise. I notice it most when I've been slowing with exhaust brake engaged then lightly get back on the throttle. It reminds me of a lugging powerstroke. Haven't had it to the dealer.

    Lets see what you are towing!

    First tow. About 16k #. Really impressed with the HO/Aisin.

    FA-4, yay or nay?

    I'd like to know that answer too. There has to be some reason they say 10w30, otherwise they would just say 5w40 across the board.

    I financed with them and they waited 27 days to overnight the paperwork, and they left out the certificate of origin. Still don't have it. I've already refinanced with penfed for a much better rate. I don't have much use for Freddy at this point.

    FA-4, yay or nay?

    I don't disagree that 5w40 is acceptable. But there must be some advantage to 10w30 or they would just tell everyone to run the 5w40 regardless. What that is, I don't know.

    FA-4, yay or nay?

    Not much help, but here's Cummins' response: "Thank you for contacting Cummins. Please reach out to your local Dodge dealer for assistance with this question. We have a legal agreement with Dodge that any technical, parts, service, warranty, or any other request we have to refer you to your...

    Gary could be the finance guy I worked with. He had me sign extra copies of forms "in case they messed it up." Didn't instill much confidence in their process. Had the same tracking delay. Started hounding them after 3 weeks of no paperwork and Freddy sent tracking info. Was another week...

    Vanessa? One of the office staff who handles the paperwork. She was less than helpful. Freddy is my new sales contact.

    FA-4, yay or nay?

    From a 2019 Fleet Equipment article: "According to Corey Trobaugh, Cummins director of corporate materials science and technology, currently, the X15 and X12 engines allow for the use of Cummins-approved FA-4 oil (CES 20087). Trobaugh added that for the immediate future, Cummins does not plan...

    FA-4, yay or nay?

    I'm guessing with a name like Southernspeed you don't have to worry about below 0° weather. I have a '21 HO also and reached out to Cummins a while back since I might get below 0 a few times a year where I live, they said run 10w30 year round. As far as the FA 4, from what I read the CES 20087...

    Anybody that bought from Bud Clary have issues with out of state registration? I'm in Indiana but might apply to others. I'm a month out from pick up and they finally sent a packet of paperwork to my local BMV. BMV called me to say they didn't send the Certificate of Origin. Bud Clary swears...

    Truck Lights on at 1 AM.

    Could it have been remote started? Happened to me a couple times with the fob in my pocket. Our Honda starts multiple times a day if I carry the keys.
