    whats the lowest temp you've ever fired your ctd in?

    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.

    Oil Change

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

    U-Joint chirp or ?

    Drain Your Fuel/Water Separator Often

    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.

    08 ram 2500 shifting problems

    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. Keep the rpm's between 1450 and 2100 for the best mileage and efficient use. Also the computer will not let it shift into 6th unless/until a certain temp is reached.

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

    Front driveshaft U-joints greased.

    You need a needle grease applicator in order to get grease into that u joint. I make sure when getting my truck serviced that the tech knows this and gets it done. I also bought an attachment for my own grease gun so that I can do it myself on a more frequent basis.
