Seems like the maintenance cost is is similar to that of a gasser. I would probably elect to just have the dealership do it as the cost increase may be minimal or so it is for a gas truck. Also what is the average for all the other filters outside of the oil filter?

So if this does happen, how are gas vehicles going to differ from diesels in the sense of needing regens etc? It would almost push consumers to the diesel market.

Hey all, I was doing some research and I see that in 2024 Ford is putting a GPF (Gas particulate Filter) on their trucks. This true ()

I really appreciate everyone's input on this matter. It is very helpful. I did find this other form which attests to what people have said here that as long as you don't short the regens, you will be fine. (). Another question I have is pertaining to maintenance costs. I currently own a Tundra...

I think what you are saying is matching up exactly with what I believe. A lot of people are stuck on the old school mentality and forget that things evolve. Did you happen to read this article...

I think my over encompassing concern is causing damage to the truck by not "using" it, but again is that an old school mentality?

So I am assuming that the times on the bottom are in seconds and MS? If so it took you 43 minutes? I am not familiar with the iDash at all so you will have to help me out. Also, have you ever just ran the engine in manual and kept the RPM's up past 2500 to help with the temp increase?

I read that because the DPF is closer to the engine it does not take nearly as long to heat up to temp as the 6L Duramax, thus making regens faster and more sustainable with shorter drives. If one were to go this route with say 1 highway round trip (100 miles) would that change your recommendation?

Have you had any issues with the emissions as of yet? I am still leaning on going this route; however, I am curious to know about any other nuisances that I may have missed.

@NMTRUCKER Most of the time my drives will be more around the 10 mile round trip with the occasional one being more than that. I usually like to remote start my truck and let it warm up /cool down dependent on the weather. I am not opposed to going with the 3.5EB but IMO spending equal to or...

So I have a burning question which I have read so much on that I am truly torn. Many forms out there seems to bash the purchasing of a diesel if you are not going to "tax" it. Stating things such as they are meant to be ran hard and they are not meant to be daily short trip drivers etc. While I...
