All filters are up to date. The best description of the problem by the way, is like a gasoline engine that has "jumped time"... ... ..... didn't mention on any of my posts, but I checked the "3-key" trick and no codes of any kind came up.

Warm Weather Sorry... ... ... ... don't know what happened to my profile on here, but I'm in Louisiana and the ambient temp was about 90 degrees at the time and there was nothing out of the norm as to how I always start the engine..... Have been driving around since the first post and after...

Yesterday morning got in truck, waited for cycle of all icons, turned on the key and engine fired up normally. All functions on gauges looked normal, but when I put it in "R" and started to back slowly out of the garage, it felt like it was going to die and was "missing". Stopped and put in "D"...

Steve,I use Blackstone to do my oil analysis. Can you give me a link to some former articles in the magazine on oil properties so that I can compare various elements and what they mean ? Thanks!

Pennzoil Gold I went into the shop area when the dealer was changing mine and the oil was definitely Pennzoil Gold Long Life in one gallon jugs..... I have been having oil analysis since the first change and everything looks good with the exception of high fuel content in oil (up to 5 %), but...

I just got a set of four Centramatic balancers as a birthday present from my son. He has them on his '08 F-250 and swears by them. I ran a search on the forum but could not find any info that was less than two years old... . I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were not recommended for...

Oil Change and Fuel Dilution Unless you decide to lose some of the emissions equipment, get used to fuel in your oil... . it is a result of "Regeneration". Cummins says the dilution rate is not harmful up to 5%. I don't like it, but my 08 Mega 4x4 has run anywhere from 3% to 5% on every oil...

Very Same Thing My '08 goes into regen about every 55-65 miles when I do a lot of city driving and when I'm doing mostly highway miles the interval is around 100-120 miles and the duration is 12 to 15 minutes. There is no doubt when in regen as the Dipricol gauge will usually register 1150-1300...

Screwed Too Almost the same thing happened to me, with the bill originally presented totaling $345. 00. I did my imitation of a "postal clerk" and they lowered a grand total of $60 bucks..... the maintenance schedule does call for a change at 15,000 miles. Stupidly, I didn't get a price from...

Need suggestions for best devices on the market to check and clear codes on my 08 6. 7L Mega. Hopefully, which are most user friendly and the approx. price range, as well as suppliers... ... ... ... ... thanks !

All Of The Above............plus 1. A REAL CONVEX MIRROR (ie;MUCH LARGER) LIKE FORD OR GM MIRRORS 2. OPTION FOR REAR VIEW CAMERA WITH A LARGE VIEWING SCREEN EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT THE OVERPRICED DODGE NAV SYSTEM. 3. A "BACK-UP" WARNING SYSTEM... ONCE YOU'VE HAD ONE,YOU LOVE 'EM 4. DOUBLE...

Idle Time-oil Level (08 Mega) I have never idled longer than a normal stop at a traffic light, if so, I engage the "high idle" feature. Normal idle on my truck is 700 rpm. "High Idle" sets it up to 1100 rpm with the ability to increase to 1500 rpm. I currently have 11,900 miles on the clock...

Cruise/Regen I was also told that it would not go into regen while on cruise control by a dealer in my hometown of Monroe, La. Since I have hardly ever used that feature, I really didn't argue with them, but seriously doubted the info..... I WAS one of those guys who thought doing everything...

Friction Modifiers Also, even if you have a limited-slip differential, the manual says that it is not necessary to add a "friction modifier"... ... ... ... ... .

40% Off Grasmo..... sorry but just got back on the forum. The dealer was Brennan Dodge located in Ruston, Louisiana (phone # is 318-251-9874). It was run in the Monroe News-Star on Sunday (July 20). Please note that it said TRUCKS IN STOCK... ... . Hope this helps.

What's A Good Price ?????? I just posted on another thread that prices here in North Louisiana are really starting to fall in a hurry. One of the local dealers is advertising that he will sell any "in-stock" truck for MSRP less 40%... ..... that's HUGE. The ad also specified that included 2500...

Consider the New Discounts on 08's I'm not sure how much you paid on your original purchase, but in this morning's newspaper the local Dodge dealer was advertising to take off 40% from MSRP on any Dodge truck in dealer stock. That being the case, I would be paying approx. $31,000 for a...

Oil Level I just turned over 8,000 miles yesterday on my 08 Mega. I have changed the oil two times and sent in to Blackstone Labs for analysis due to my concern for showing high level on the stick. The first test showed 31/2% fuel in oil and the second test showed 3%. Dodge might OK up to 5%...

Cel And Etc Lights My 08 Mega is still showing the CEL and ETC (lightning bolt) after all the enginge icon light tests are complete on startup. Dealer did a Star Scan and it showed no codes. They attempted several time to be sure everything was clear but nothing showed up... ... Doesn't affect...
