    For those that have purchased extended warranties

    I have a '24 RAM (see sig line), and considering the extremely high cost of repairs, am considering purchasing the MOPAR/RAM MAXCARE extended warranty.

    Frequency of lifter failure in CGI 6.7 ?

    This seems to be coming up more often. Like to get other's opinions on this. Is this a legitimate issue in the long run, say, 200k miles or more? Assuming that oil changes are done according to schedule or in my case, I prefer to change oil around 5-6K intervals. Pre CGI 6.7s seem to run pretty...

    When were the DPFs added to the 6.7?

    In a discussion with a couple buddies, I was under the impression that all of the 6.7 Cummins had EGR systems, and the DPF and DEF systems came on after 2011. Is this correct? if not, when ? Thanks for any info on this!

    Any issues with doing a cooling system flush on a '17?

    Going to do a cooling system flush on my '17 using the mopar flush chemical. Are there any issues that may come up doing a flush? In my last truck (another brand) it was fairly common that when a coolant flush was performed, the oil cooler and egr cooler would plug up. Mostly the oil cooler due...

    Changed the tstat on my truck, drained more coolant than I wanted, now time to refill. I added as much as I could through the tank, but I know there is a lot of air in the system, and the radiator does not have coolant in the top hose. Or at least it doesnt feel like it does.
