In early 2010, I bought my 2010 CC/LB from DSM and it went well. Would buy from them again.

Latest update: * Oil sample taken and oil change done at approx 25973 miles * Same oil as the prior sample (ie didn't change it since 15278 mi) * 10696 miles on oil, approx 200+ hours * deletes, H&S MM since 15278 mi * Amsoil DEO 5W40 Summary: * slight uptick in Al and Fe, and K *...

Here's some data I got from UOA over a series of oil changes and samples https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/4th-generation-ram-forum/222326-2010-oil-analysis-9600-miles.html

You might be right. I can try it up there by just drilling two more holes.

I can easily relocate the bar to the top, but it is extremely bright in the present configuration. I would need twice the number of stock headlights on bright beam to be comparable.

Canon 30D, 24-70 F/2. 8L, ISO 800 F8 1/4s 38 mm FabFours fog lights - plus low beams - plus high beams - plus Rigid 20" - I was on a flat dirt road with few features, so the comparison isn't great. What the photos don't show is the vertical spread of the LED because there's nothing above...

It's the Fab Fours Pre-runner style bumper Fab Fours Bumpers > Home It is designed to take the 16. 5ti winch- I don't have a winch installed now. The license plate covers the hole.

It's roughly the same price or cheaper as an HID setup of the same quality. Vision X 6. 5" HIDs cost about $400 each for 3500 lumens, and 35 watts. So I'd be $800 into HIDs vs, $700 for the LEDs. About the same current draw for both, and within 3% of the same light output. Other advantages of...

Here's the Rigid Industries E Series LED Light bar (20") mounted on my Fab Fours front bumper. I had the option to mount it just below the front face of the bumper, or on the "platform" of the bumper just in front of the grille. I chose to try the bottom position first for two reasons: one...

Here are all the oil reports for my truck. I never got more than 2% fuel in oil. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/4th-generation-ram-forum/222326-2010-oil-analysis-9600-miles-2.html#post2188442

Follow-up: * engine now has 22844 miles * Same oil as the prior sample (ie didn't change it since 15278 mi - now at 22844 mi) * 7562 miles on oil, approx 160 hours * deletes, H&S MM since 15278 mi * Amsoil DEO 5W40 Summary: * no wear metals or elements noted * oil still in viscosity...

Here's what H&S Performance just posted over on cumminsforum 6. 8. 12 update for Maxx tuners - Page 2 - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum Take that FWIW.

I run the H&S Mini-Maxx (which electronically disables the EGR) and a simple DPF delete pipe. It runs great, a whole new truck even on the "no power" setting. Fuel mileage was improved 30-50%.

It's a manual transmission, 4x4, 3. 42 ratio, CC/LB. It has had Bridgestone Revo 2's 285/70/17 for the last about 20k miles. The speedo is recalibrated. On long highway trips up here at altitude (5000-7000') in the mountains, I used to get 15-17 mpg max; now I get 18-21 on those same trips...

Some people have reported intervals closer to 5000 miles. I like to put my foot into it, but I don't tow or haul very much weight-- a couple of dirt bikes and some enduro gear is about it. Back when the truck was stock, I never got the "80% DPF Full" message, though.
