I don't understand how keeping the truck idling for 10-15 minutes is too long. Yikes, during ice storms, I run my gasoline car for 1/2 hour to melt the ice off the windows and reach a point where the doors thaw enough to even get into the damned car!!!!! I only idle it for about 10-15 minutes...

How about 55 gallon drums. I am thinking also of this idea. I would get steel drums, as I hear some people say plastic is not ideal for petro diesel products. I know they keep diesel in 55 gallon barrels, how about that idea? I wonder how sucessful you would be in keeping gasoline in a 55...

I was thinking of putting some stabil in the tank to keep the fuel fresher longer, then running an electric pump with a water separator/fuel filter attached to keep the water doen to a minimum. I wonder if most 500 gallon diesel tanks have separate vents open to the atmosphere, if they...

$3. 19 per gallon for ULSD is dirt cheap right now!!!!!

I live in Ohio, about 25 miles south of Youngstown.

Hey guys: We all know Dodge warns against excessive idling. What do they consider to be excessive? Sometimes I let my truck warm up for 10-15 minutes in winter to get the cab warm, but I normally never let it idle any other time. I never let it run for hours or anything, so what do...

Sag2, I know you work on these trucks everyday. What do you think I should do? I do not pull much with the truck, so do you think I should start driving it like I stole it? How about if the P2262 code pops up again? Should I insist on turbo replacement? Is this in keeping with the...

Yes, I know they should pay for the fuel for the regen, but still my gas gauge tells me otherwise!!!!! I am lower than when I took it in by about 1/4 tank. Maybe it is just my imagination, but I could swear I am lower now.

Hello all: I am not sure if this is a good place to put this thread, but since I own a 2007 6. 7, I figured maybe some of my fellow 6. 7 owners might be able to offer some input on this. As we all know, diesel is coming down in price, and at my local Pilot service center, the price is...

Got the truck back today, and it was the dreaded P2262 code. They gave me the CD/DVD packet that Dodge sent in the mail about 6 months ago (I already had this) and also a diesel supplement for year 2008 trucks. I have a 2007 year truck, but I guess they are pretty much the same. I do not...

Sent my truck to the dealership this last Saturday night after the check engine light came on (little yellow engine light -- not sure if this is CEL or MIL light). Anyhow, CEL (this is what I'll call it) light came on at the start of a 30 mile trip, but I had to take the trip to get back home...

OK guys: Got the truck back and all seems well for now. I don't know how a power steering line could simply slip off, but that is what they say happened. So, we'll see what happens in the next few weeks of driving. Surfbeetle, I know what you mean. They already had the STAR scanner...

RVTRKN AND Hbarlow: Trust me, I am a verifed 2007 Dodge 6. 7L owner. I am not here to make the Dodge 6. 7 look bad. I am not a Ford fanatic trying to mislead folks into think the Dodge is a lemon!!!!!! I bought the Dodge diesel becuase I knew it was a better motor than the Ford or the...

Everybody: I am not that mad about the power steering failure. I know that it has nothing to do with the 6. 7 motor. However, the 2007. 5 being a new model year for the new motor and all, it did not really help much to raise my confidence in the reliability of these new trucks. The truck...

Yes, I just started using power service about 500 miles ago. The truck engine runs better on it, just not the power steering!!!!! I know the failure of the pump had nothing to do with the motor. However, I do wonder if dodge changed the pump design for the 2007. 5 model year as a part of...
