5 degrees and my 6. 7, 07. 5 fired right up. Takes a while to smooth out but ran great after warming up. 15-40w synthetic amsoil.

All diesels turn the oil black as soon as you start them b/c of the sulfur in the fuel. It means nothing.

My 07. 5 had a similar problem and under warranty they replaced the radio/cd player. No problem since then.

My 07. 5 has to have the front ujoint lubed with a needle point fitting by design and if the servicer does not know this they will not do it and bingo, a problem. I make sure it is done every service and check it at home with my creeper. If not done I go back and make them do it. Some diesel...

Had filter changed at 20,000, never drain filter. Never a problem so far. I try to get my fuel at a reliable source even on the road, across country, Pilot or Love's. Only have 35k on my 07. 5 but lots of towing across country of 11k lbs. 12,000 towing.

I don't let my transmission shift into overdrive(6th) until I am on the highway and doing over 60 b/c it will hurt the torque converter.

If it is a dually the profit margin on a fully loaded larimie is 15K so take it from there. If u have the option to shop around, do it. I got a deal no one thought I could get but I was in no hurry and got the deal I wanted on a 2007. 5, 2500, 6. 7, auto, quad cab, 4x4, SLT with thunder road...

It was either Dodge or cummins stated to me that 10% was ok but I used it once and had a problem. I don't know if it was coincidence. I fueled up in Flagstaff AZ with 10% and soon after lost power towing 11k but made it to Laughlin NV. Took it to he dealer in Bullhead City AZ and it was ok with...

I keep 70 psi in all four and tow across country 10-11k and back (6K) every yr for the last two but only have 34k on truck, rotate every 7500k or there abouts with stock michelins. Tires look new. (Have not made trip this yr yet b/c of medical problems but hope to go west in January. )...

Two most important issues with an internal combustion engine are lubrication and filtration. After break in I use Amsoil synthetic with their filter.
