    Diesel Fuel additives.

    Hey folks. I have an outside 600 gal fuel storage tank, there's a mix of summer and winter blends of diesel, it just got to -5F here (AB) and it looks like it's gonna stay, will definitely get worse in the next few months. I didn't need to use fuel out of the tank recently but if/when the need...

    BD vs PPE deep transmission pan for 68RFE

    Not towing anything with this truck, trans temps are always in good range so not interested in any added benefits from extra fluid they hold (BD holds 1qt more than PPE) only want one for the ease of draining fluid. Both are about the same price (with BD currently is on sale with 10% off) so...

    Installing BD Grid Heater Upgrade Kit. Need help with an electrical plug.

    I'm in the middle of installing the BD Grid Heater Upgrade Kit. Stuck on disconnecting the electrical plug from the sensor. Pushing the white tab and pulling / wiggling the plug doesn't work and I don't want to force and break it. Do I need to do anything about the little red tab before I push -...

    When blend door fails...

    When blend door fails, what fails exactly? Is it the actuator(s) or something else? I did a bit of reading and there's a lot of talk about actuators and it appears they aren't very difficult to replace? Or is there something else that needs to fixed / replaced to get things right again? The...

    Driveline whine under very light acceleration.

    Hi all, the truck is making this "whine" under a very very light acceleration, literally just touching the gas pedal will make it sound like this, or when cruising on a flat hwy with no wind will do the same. Applying more throttle will make the sound go away (it probably doesn't go away...

    On my way to US, what's a good place to stop for filters?

    Heading to the States picking up a truck camper. Figured I'd stop grab a few sets of filters for the trucks as for whatever reason it's so hard to find proper filters unless I buy from a dealer at the ridiculous prices. O'Reilly's? Docs filters? Just a few names I heard here in there. We are...

    ATF as a fuel additive for extra lubricity?

    This used to be norm for added lubricity but I thought this would negatively affect the DPF. Seen a lot of posts in other groups people still recommend this as a fuel additive for latest gen trucks. What's y'all opinion on this?

    Fake WIX air filter?

    1st off I'd say you guys South of the boarder have a lot more goodies available for our trucks. Ordered a new filter from Amazon, WIX brand as they were in stock comparing to Fleetguard which was an import weeks away, or Mopar which was the same cost as buying at the dealer. Description says...

    No cameras, no passenger seat heat after battery disconnect.

    Finally got my 1st problem with my 2019. Just pulled the truck out of storage after winter. While the previous years I just connected the battery maintainer, this last time I actually disconnected the batteries as it was sitting for 5 months in storage. My 360 degree cameras are absent, all of...

    Ordering Cummins Filters Online -CANADA

    I know there are quite a few Canadians here so wondering where you order your filters from - for those of you who do your own maintenance. It's time when I'm finally free enough to do it myself and my HO is also due for some fresh fluids and filters, I'm gonna park it for winter after that as I...

    W03 Transmission Valve Body Recall

    My truck is booked for some recalls this coming Monday and the service coordinator says one of the outstanding recalls is W03. A quick search showed that this recall is for the 68RFE transmission and mine is a HO truck with Aisin. I'm confused now. Or is it a service coordinator that is...

    Where did the top overload leaf spring go??

    Purchased a Truck Camper and was looking into some suspension components to stiffen up the rear end (was looking at either Super Sway Stops or Upper Stableloads), only to discover that my truck does NOT have the top overload leaf spring?? I'm confused. Are all SRWs are like this or someone at...

    Weird partial startup happened this past weekend

    I was on my way to go camping, stopped at a fuel station to fill up and shut the truck down, then a minute later had to start again to move it to a different pump and after firing up it died instantly. Pushed start again and it sort of started, was idling at a few hundred RPM and very rough...

    Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Yes or No?

    Chewed up my front passenger side (got a hole and immediate pressure loss, by the time I've got to the shoulder the tire was toasted) and now my rear drivers side is leaking too so I need a new set in a hurry. I heard everyone was saying the stock TF are junk but didn't think they were this bad...

    Which tuner? EZ-Lynk vs EFI Live vs MM3.

    1st thing 1st, I only want to discuss the pros and cons of the tuning devices themselves, not any particular tuner that actually creates PCM flash files. MM3 and EFI Live are, for the lack of a better word, offline tuners. You load your files in them and then flash the truck and you're done. If...

    Why CUMMINS option on 5500 is so special??

    Was killing time playing RAM builder and noticed this: Cummins option on RAM 5500 is CAD $26,645 While the same option on 4500 and 3500 C&C is CAD $9,450 For comparison, a diesel option on P/U is $9,450 for the SO and $11,950 for the HO. Any idea WHY the diesel on 5500 is so expensive...

    Adding AUX switches after taking delivery

    Can the AUX switches be added after you took the possession of your truck with a 12" screen? I wanted AUX but didn't order my truck with them as I read somewhere someone mentioned the AUX switches with a 12" Uconnect would take away some other buttons and replace them with software buttons on...
