You screw up your practical collector. You are not to add anything to 07 trucks. This from Carson Dodge "Dodge has notified us that absolutely NO fuel additives should be used on the new 6. 7L engine due to possible contamination of the emission components that make up its new "clean diesel technology". As you may know, the Dodge/Cummins 6. 7L is the only vehicle currently on the market that meets the EPA's 2010 diesel emission requirements. "

So is Dodge gonna come give all us cold weather boys a tow every time we gel up on the side of the road? Didn't think so.

There HAS to be some form of accepted additive to prevent gelling in the winter. Not everybody has access to #1 Diesel, not to mention good luck finding #1 ULSD.

I currently run Power Service additive in my fuel tanks (I own a truck stop) that is designed to blend with ULSD reducing the cloud point, etc. for winter use. I chose this option over blending with #1 because most of my customers prefer it. Cheaper and much better fuel mileage than a typical 70/30 or 60/40 blend.

If Dodge is going to say we can't use ANYTHING to prevent gelling in cold weather they need to pull their head out of their you know what.

I called my Cummins northwest a few miles away from here and asked them what to do about the cold weather also..... They said that in the new 6. 7 you CAN run power service ARCTIC EXPRESS... . Its strictly a anti-gel only... They said that is safe to run as well as any anti-gel only product... . Just make sure to read the bottle carefully

Howes is also for ULSD if you do as the bottle says if it freeze up thay pay the tow. I have been using it from 98 to today. The 89 has 600,000 miles same fuel pump replaced fuel injectors tips at 500'000 had cummins check out the pump they said it was in top shape.

 

[AABEN]

All oil comp add antigelling in the winter. All you need to do is add a little antigelling Howes is a verry good one a lought of trucking comp. use it. If you live in the very south use as it says for winter.

What About Stanadyne?

 

[JBob Diesel]

Can anyone show me ANYTHING in writing from Dodge or Cummins that says "DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES IN THE 6. 7L"? The owners manual says that fuel additives "ARE NOT NECESSARY". Talk is cheap! If it is so darned important, why haven't we been notified in writing?

#@$%! This is what Cummins told me about fuel additives:



"Thanks for your Email message. You have contacted Cummins, Inc. at our Customer Assistance Center located in Columbus, Indiana. This is our worldwide headquarters and has been our home since Clessie Cummins founded the company February 3, 1919.



There is no way for us to give you reassurance about aftermarket products. We have no idea what effects they will have on the engine. Espicially regarding additives we don't know what chemicals are in the additives and we don't know what happens when they burn. We neither approve nor condemn the use of any aftermarket product. Under normal circumstances we do not believe additives are necessary. Because your product is warranted by Dodge not Cummins it would be best to verify all these details with them.



Cummins designs and supplies the Cummins 6B5. 9 and ISB 24-Valve turbo diesel engines to DaimlerChrysler, however, DaimlerChrysler warrants the diesel engine and truck completely, as a package unit. Cummins, Inc. and authorized Service Providers cannot provide warranty coverage on Dodge Ram trucks powered with Cummins diesel engines, since all warranties are handled by the Dodge dealers.



To find the closest Dodge service, anywhere in North America, call Chrysler at 800-992-1997.



For assistance with Dodge Ram truck issues, Dodge requires a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for vehicle identification (i. e. , model, year, build plant, etc. ). Always have your VIN number available when requesting assistance with your Dodge vehicle.



When bringing a Dodge truck to a Dodge dealer for warranty service, you may also wish to verify that the service department is availing themselves of the diesel technician troubleshooting assistance that is available to Dodge dealers by way of their S. T. A. R. Hotline. Dodge dealers may call the DaimlerChrysler Hotline for technical assistance.



Prior to 2004 model year, Dodge warranty on the engine was 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty coverage for the Cummins Turbo Diesel in the 2004 model year Dodge Ram is 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and is handled by Dodge dealers, not Cummins. See your local Dodge dealer or Official Dodge Site - New Autos, Trucks, Minivans, SUVs, Cars, Wagons <http://www.dodge.com> for further details regarding this warranty coverage.



Customers should call Dodge Customer Service Hotline (800-992-1997) for assistance.
