What brand is the bed? I like the look. Kind of combines the look of an expedition style and utility style.

I believe this is the truck sensing the key fob. My 2021 does the same thing, until I slip my fob into its aluminum case. Yes, I'm one of those that keeps my key in a faraday case :)

This showed up in my email today. I am indifferent with regards to Banks products, but I do own an iDash and have been very happy with it. I was thinking of getting a Banks Monster Ram to protect against the grid heater bolt, but after doing some research, I decided that other brand solutions...

Crickets?

I purchased a new transmission crossmember with the plan of modifying it as others have done for easier fluid changes. I am trying to decide if I should remove a continuous notch, following the shape of the pan, or doing radius reliefs at each bolt location. I figure I would use a hole saw at...

In the last day or two, the temperature has been a few degrees warmer, and the truck starts with a singe tap of the start button. Who knows what hooks are built into the programming!

My CEL lights up after every three double-tap cold starts now. The relay has been disconnected since the relay issue was first announced. Up until about 2-3 months ago, I only triggered a CEL once when I didn't do the double-tap quick enough. My truck is a 2021 H.O. that I ordered and received...

I can chime in on this myself. I have 2021 SB 3500 4x4 H.O. I ordered the truck and received it in May of 2021, just about the time that the first warnings of the faulty grid heater relays surfaced. When I read about the bad relays, I disconnected mine from the battery and waited patiently for...

@Dinky503 Been following your thread on this issue. Does this apply to your situation?

35 lbs. ft. on my 2021 HO. I would guess it is the same for the newer models as well.

I get right at 600 mpg of DEF usage when not pulling. Pulling a 5th wheel, I get right at 300 mpg. This is a 2021 3500 SB with the H.O. I can get you the exact figures, but these are within a few miles per gallon of the hand calculated use.

Nice! This is even simpler than mine. What exactly is the rubber "seal" you used?

I ordered a new truck in 2004 with the H.O. diesel. My batteries lasted 17 years in that truck! I only replaced them because i thought the motor was beginning to turn over a bit slower than normal when cold starting. I can only hope I get half that out of my 2021!

The oil filter is nowhere near the firewall. I have seen some that make a small notch in the plastic inner fender, on the passenger side, to allow a little more access to the filter. It isn't really needed though.

Here's what I made. Absolutely clean filter replacement, without a single drop escaping!
