Wow 18 years ago.

I Got checked during harvest season in cotton country years ago in my 81 MB 300D, but it clattered like a tractor unlike the new diesels and was a hoot to smoke tailgaters. :D Nissan V8 diesel could pass for a gasser it's so quite, not sure about new VW's and MB's.

I'm sure he was laughing at you, I would have been....:D Also your fear of short start and stop is totally unfounded, because I'm sure you don't do it that often. Only thing it strains is the battery, but if good battery and you then head off on your trip even that's no big deal. :) Only thing...

I think Glen's RR even has the kitchen sink. I really like the air ride suspension, wish I had that option. It was quitter then my ECO D, but my truck isn't as noise suppressed under hood or at the exhaust as it's a work truck and built for serious work like hauling a bed full of gravel or logs...

Thanks Jason I'll do my best.

Well let us move forward from '15 to '17 and guess who showed up here at our new house here in the country about 30 miles from our old home in Poplar Bluff. MOGolf drove up in his Range Rover, and surprised the heck out of us, haven't seen him since '09 and didn't recognize him at first...

I not sure but have heard of some failures of aftermarket filters, not sure if it caused oil pressure dropped. Sounds like saving $5 or $10 may have cost you big time if CFA refuses to warranty if damaged from aftermarket filter. I use the CFA filters because they have several more pleats and...

Yes the Jack is flown from yard arm underway. It's an old tradition dating back to 1700's British Navy and their flying the Union Jack in port at the bow and underway at yardarm. Lot of our military customs come from British.

Maybe. Earlier this month I had a lady in TDI Jetta pass me then slow down slower then my CC setting when she passed so I changed lanes to pass and she sped up and at about 90mph she flipped me the bird and let me pass. Then earlier this week a guy in Jetta wagon do the pass me and slow down...

Glad to report only one in 2.5 years by another PU truck owner and only because my truck has factory duel exhaust. He came up and ask in one flowing sentence if my truck was a diesel he said because my truck was 1/2 ton and with duel exhaust looked like a Hemi gasser and then ask if it was the...

My $47,000 list truck was $37,000 with employee discount and I got 0% interest.

The actual premium is only at best $1500-$2000 because of extra's that FCA requires to be included such as block heater in all engines but without the cords attached to extra's required by law such as DEF system itself. Where I live block heater is not needed, but every engine has one and it...

Not seen any locals with any DEF heater problem, but with it having to get down to 11F to start freezing you should be good in VA unless in northern part of mountains, mine was out in a rare -2F overnight low for two days in row and never had a problem. But nothing is perfect, and I bet you...

They come with 10 year and 100,000 mile warranty on drivetrain which includes injection pump, not sure if Chrysler actually has an actual in house extended warranty program. I have 33,000 miles on mine no real issues other then operator error. :o

I've often wondered what people do if they live in areas where winter overnight temps from Nov to Mar are often 0F or below that have cars and trucks with DEF tanks. I live where number of days below freezing (32F) is probably less then 50 days and days in the teens maybe 10 or so and often go...

Between wrecks and tanks that were full or near full in sub zero weather I'd be surprised if there wasn't a waiting list for one. I never keep my DEF tank full summer or winter, maybe 3/4 at most. I winter when the forecast is for near or below 0 degrees (F) I park in the garage and move wife's...

They(FCA) came out with TSB about it, they were warrantying the system even though they had had some people buying DEF that had been on the shelf too long and causing problem. I think the problem most had was computer caused.

Well the picture is about 10 years old, so odds are he's dead.

Mine holds 10.5 gallons and I run it down to about 1/4 tank then buy another jug or two depending on time of year. From Nov thru Mar I never fill above 3/4 tank due to cold weather and sudden temp drops to about zero from a 50F plus day. Man I hate that kind of weather. Oh and my truck sits...

This will depend on length of said temp's ranges, my guess of a southern MO summer where we go from 80F daytime high to 100F June thru Aug. with overnight lows from 65F to 85F during these months. So long term storage of one or two 55 gallon drums is not going to go well when 15 gal will last me...

:confused: We are talking about two different options here, buying in the 2.5gal container and buying bulk at truck stop. Truck stop is 125 mile plus drive one way, and the fact that I can buy it at local hardware store for $10.99 for 2.5gal jug. The DEF has a shelf life and deteriorates...

Would it be less then local? It hasn't been in past and here I can pay cash or write check and that's very convenient for me.

More like a $1.80 a gallon or a huge saving of about $20 a year for me, to drive about 250 miles to get DEF or about $20 in fuel cost or more.

I checked the Chrysler recall sight with VIN and I'm not effected. :D

Drive within 2 blocks of the hardware store every day. Besides it's only 6 miles from the house. More importantly it's cheaper local, and it helps keep my money local.
