Thanks for the replies, very interesting. JR's explanation seems the most likely to me; I didn't know my truck doesn't have an EGR (shows you how much of a noob I am with these trucks).

Thanks for the replies. Nobody knows? My Jetta wagon was a 2005, by the way. My Mercedes wagon was a 1983 (if I remember right). Both would totally blacken new oil on the first startup.

I just purchased my 2001 with ~101k miles and did my first oil change with a Fleetguard filter. I have ~500 miles on that oil now and I'm stunned that the oil is still clean and transparent. I've owned two other diesel vehicles (a Mercedes wagon and a VW wagon) and in both cases the new oil...

I recently purchased my truck from the original owner and it's in great shape with only about 111k miles. But there's one little electrical problem I was hoping you experts could help with: When I step on the brakes, the right-front parking light illuminates (you know, the yellow light next to...

My truck has the 4:10 posi rear end. I'm interested in changing it to the stock lower gear ratio (is it 3:54..?) and I want to keep the posi. Is this possible, and how much would it cost? I don't mind using a used unit, but I'd have to pay a shop to do the work as it's beyond my mechanical...
