Does someone know what the spec is for the drag link adjuster jam nuts is? BTW, it's a 2016 2500 4x4. I want to make sure I keep them tight and watching them carefully since I do not want the recall done to mine. Not a fan of tack welding a nut on an adjustable link.

Please keep us posted on how the Edge return works out.

Fleet Owner article An interesting view by Fleet Owner:

From reading his post I would suspect that it came in with the fuel and the biofuel component. Even if you kill it, you have the residue and gunk to deal with. Looked like the only hope was a super filtration system with an enormous capacity. I feel truly sorry for folks who live in areas where...

Looks like you have had your round with bad fuel for sure. Respectfully, I don't believe your issue could have been solved by an additive. But meanwhile back to the OP's question, what additive would you recommend for the 4th generation owners?

Jacknife, I remember reading it but do not remember where it was. Was it on the website as a separate article or was it in a past issue of the magazine? Thanks

The article on additives was attached to my post in the PDF if you are interested.

How 'bout some STP too? I have been looking for some STP to put in the oil! Just kidding. Ref. fuel additives, read issue number 64 from the TDR Magazine. For members of the TDR there is a PDF from the "Perfect Collection".

Research I've done says avoid them. Some good info in TDR magazine past issues. I'll see if I can find the issue number and post it later.

I wish I knew the absolute answer. I do not but I have been searching. The 601F number comes from a Cummins application used in buses. As John pointed out, can it be that much different for our DPFs? I have noticed that highway miles tend seem to avoid regens. Who has a good contact with...

Thanks John for the ISX slide pack and yes, it says 601 degrees F for passive regeneration. That is quite interesting. Of course there is a slight difference in this Cummins used for a bus engine and the one that is in our beloved trucks but it is still a very interesting reference number.

Yes, the DPF is close coupled to the DOC. When the DOC is hard at work it generates additional heat via oxidation. So it will add heat to the exhaust stream and particularly when the timing and fuel dosing is done to generate an active regeneration of the DPF. You are correct there is no...

With a monitor and via the CAN Bus, you can watch DPF pressure drop (pressure drop across the filter). This is a leading indicator of much soot is in the filter which is impeding exhaust flow. It is this pressure drop measurement that the Control Module watches, likely coupled with some other...

Confirming, I have read that it takes about 950F to regenerate the DPF. From the data I see on my truck, temperatures slightly less than that must work over an extended period. I have yet to see a DPF regeneration on my on long hauls towing.

I have seen several folks say that here on the forum. Can you help me understand how hitting EB applies a load? I understand how EB works in principle by creating backpressure. But I have not been able to see it do anything via the PID from the CAN Bus when turning it on and off while idling. I...

Glad they have at least started a performance based standard but it is weak if you look at the details. Very, very high level stuff that doesn't prove much and it is about towing. Better than nothing but barely. SAE is a member run organization and guess who are the big dogs in the membership...

Forgive me but Ford's brochures are less than truthful. I am a former Ford owner and I learned the hard way. They are just as full of puffery as the next one. As a matter of fact it was Dodge customer service who helped me understand the regulatory tangle between payload capacity vs. cargo...

If the tow strap/sling is big enough to be used for towing/pulling on an ~8k pound or greater vehicle, the ends are not going to slip off. It will be a bit of a fight to get them on and off the hook as configured.

It will not show in the EVIC. There is a PID available on the CAN Bus which indicates regen status and another one that gives you pressure drop across the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). I watch the both of them and towed about 500 miles recently and there was no regen occurring. The pressure...
