If your goal is to make consumers informed then put all the cards on the table and give us all the facts as you know them at the time. Make sure you emphasize that this is what the situation is at this point in time. That’s good enough for me. 👍

Over the lifetime (14,500 miles) of my ‘23 GMC SIERRA 1500 I have had 35 REGENS with a mean distance between REGENS of 369 miles. The included bar graph shows the distance between REGENS. As best as I can figure 75% highway miles and 25% city driving.

Nice! It always helps to have the heavy equipment to move heavy material. Much better than a wheel barrel and shovel. 👍

You Tube is the last “social media” site that I subscribe to. I dumped all the others 3 or 4 years ago. At that I’m very selective about what YT channels I watch and have flushed a number of them especially when it turns into a political rant. Mostly, as with “Duggydo”, they are hobby related...

Well this excavator holds 380 liters of oil which is almost 100 gallons. So that would be one expensive oil change.

And now there’s this oil from CASTROL. Any takers? 25,000 mile OCI 🤔🤔🤔

If people could actually see the fine particulate emitted by ICE vehicles they might change their tune. It’s sort of like I can’t see the asbestos particles but 20 years later you might feel the effects.

I thought about one of these for my 2003 SILVERADO but I think I’ll keep it old school.

Whenever I purchase a new vehicle (like every 20 years) I do a very early oil change then go by the 6 months or 5,000 miles intervals. This usually satisfies the rough service schedule as well. Never had any engine issues over 50 years.

Here’s an article explaining the GPF. https://www.carthrottle.com/news/what-are-petrol-particulate-filters-and-why-do-they-make-cars-sound-worse

Well then we should change your name to doggydo!🙄

Hmmm. Over the air truck self destruct sequence initiated. 🤔

Very sad about your friend Bruce and sad that RAM discontinued the ECODIESEL.

👍+👍 = 2👍 LOL DUDE. Hope you’re adding up your golf scores correctly. BTW what’s your handicap?

Certainly the oil type, oil change interval, and oil filter manufacturer are all hot button topics. It never fails that these three topics bring the “experts” out of the woodwork.

So for those wanting to know if their diesel truck is idling too much here is the formula: Total Engine Hours X 33 miles (or 53 km) = X Now if the calculated mileage (X) is less than the odometer mileage the vehicle does not spend an excessive time idling. So as an example my truck has about 350...

This is an interesting read I found on the GM Tech Line. I hope I copied it correctly. https://gm-techlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/GM_TechLink_15_August_2020.pdf

There are DPF cleaning services in the US. Apparently it’s a 2-step process. After removal the DPF is weighed then subjected to a pneumatic-pressure/vacuum cycle to blow out particulates. Then the second process is an 8-hour baking to remove sulphate and oil contaminants. Then a final...

Uh oh, look out, folks might start drinking this stuff to help with their shrunken widget, if you know what I mean. 😲

Yes you’re right about the DPF location. Also there are two EGRs a low and high pressure variant that minimizes the soot reintroduced into the motor. During my 18 months of ownership I had one CEL but that was only for a software update. Normally these updates would be handled during maintenance...
