Such a good looking truck! That’s my favorite OEM color!

Yeah 76 has done an absolutely horrible job with education and information at the pump! That sticker is basically just Ca fuel pump info regulations not being up to date with the latest fuels. Just be smart and know what you’re putting in!

Your feedback on B99 is correct. Biodiesel can’t be run over 20% on any Cummins newer than 2007.5 and equipped with a DPF. These alternative fuels are NOT biodiesel however, and this thread is not about biodiesel. This thread is about HPR, R99 etc. I don’t know what else to write to answer...

Biomassed based diesel and biodiesel are very different things chemically. Think of HPR and diesel as diesel, but just from a different source material. Unfortunately the signage required by the state doesn’t really reflect that since the lawmakers that require those at pump signs don’t...

Hey where are you located?

Nope I’m in Los Angeles and there’s stations down here! I typically go to the one in Long Beach.

HPR is only available from select Propel stations in So Cal, which are usually tied to Shell stations. If you download the Propel app you can search for the nearest station! I love the stuff. Burns super clean, higher centane rating, higher lubricity, and way less smell. I run it in everything...

Yeah 76 has done a horrible job providing literature or information of any kind on R99. I’ve logged thousands of miles using Propel HPR in my trucks with solid results. I’ve also been using plenty of 76 R99 and the truck runs great. Noticeably less smoke than ULSD and otherwise normal...

I have no issues pulling 20mpg highway in the 19+ Ram and Ford diesel powertrain trucks on 37s, but when you take the 7.3 Fords in the same situation, you’re fighting to get low teens. 7.3 liters of nattily aspirated gas engine makes for a hungry beast! I understand the application for fleet...

Posted a long reply in the original thread you made about it including a statement from Cummins!

Just want to jump in since I’m seeing some mis-information here. Traditional Bio diesel and B20 blends and VERY different from 76’s R99 or HPR from Propel stations. Bio diesel is not compatible with emissions trucks (2007.5 and newer with DPFs) but R99 and HPR are. R99 and HPR are chemically...

I drive both frequently for work. The 7.3 Fords are cool, but I could never understand owning one. The fuel costs are absolutely absurd compared to a diesel, and they have less torque and power behind the wheel. Some people swear by them, but I could NEVER justify getting one when there are more...

The best thing you can do is change things one item at a time so you work work through the truck via process of elimination. Start with shocks and see if that helps. If not, start chasing down any other play up front on the truck!

Give this video a watch and run through the front end. Likely the source of your issue will present as a worn or tired front end joint/bushing. If it isn’t that, then driveshaft, u-joints and tires would be the next culprits. Tires are extremely common, and the easiest way to diagnose that is to...

I think 5k is perfect. It’s a nice pure white light and that’s exactly what I went with on my truck! 6k is a little too blue for my liking. I have clear and amber lenses for my fog lights, so I just switch depending on the weather and season. If I know I’m going to be driving in dust or snow...
