    Valvoline vs Rotella vs Amsoil

    Problem with Washington is King County is they are literally the King. What they want they get.

    Valvoline vs Rotella vs Amsoil

    The fuel sample on my report was satisfactory. Never heard that about Rotella. Do you have something to support that claim?

    Valvoline vs Rotella vs Amsoil

    I no longer own the Ram Cummins and have moved on. But the Rotella T5 was exhibiting viscosity thinning per the oil analysis report. I would recommend testing your oil at least once at the end of the oil change interval to validate the quality of the oil you use. Anything else is just talk.

    Automatic Regen too often

    My 22 started going into regen every day. Traded it in on Thursday for a Duramax. I wanted something a little nicer and not as big, the Ram 3500 was long bed and I didn't need that much truck. The chevy rides nicer but it’s apples to oranges because it's 2500. The 10 speed is nice too.

    Exhaust brake permanently engaged option?

    I plan on keeping this rig stock. So no slippery slope of modifications for me. ;)

    Exhaust brake permanently engaged option?

    Empty or loaded I always run with mine on. I don't see how any damage would occur with it engaged. And I think it's better to use it to keep the vains and actuator working and healthy. Have heard the vains can collect soot if not used frequently. And it can save break pad usage.

    Exhaust brake permanently engaged option?

    Hello all, I think I know the answer to this, but I’ll ask anyway. Is there a way to keep the exhaust brake on all the time? I ask, because I think it’s silly that when I start the engine I need to engage the exhaust brake (first world problem). If there is a work around please let me know...

    Should I trade in '21 1500 EcoDiesel Laramie for '24 2500 Cummins Laramie?

    If you're a baller go for it. Payments sucks and no point wasting the money because the day you drive what ever you buy off the lot there goes 10K.

    I had a banks monster ram intake installed on my 2021 standard cummins

    If I did the Banks horn it be solely for the grid heater bolt.

    High mileage 2022’s

    Team Cummins! I have a question for the group if anyone cares to chime in. Who here has any significant mileage on 2022 SO or HO? Please specify if your truck or buddies truck is a SO or HO. When I got my 2022 it was Feb of 2023 and mine was build in November of 2022 so it might have 2023...

    Lets see those crew cab long boxes!

    Man gotta love and have a long bed. They can haul more crap and they tow better. But when I make those trips into the city….it makes parking a real adventure! Ha! I need like 1 and a 1/4 parking spots sometimes long and wide!

    Lets see those crew cab long boxes!

    At age 47 I’m very content having a stock non-lifted, non leveled truck. I don’t miss having funky towing angles, out of wack speedometers, rubbing tires and all the other joys that go with it

    Transmission dipstick

    Upon taking my new rig home I learned the same thing. "How can I check the fluid with such a short dip stick" I asked myself. After that I returned to the dealership and made them give me the old one. They did not want to at first but I didn't back down and eventually they gave me a dip stick. I...
