My First Diesel

[rbgross]

This is my first time owning a diesel vehicle. Hope I made the right choice...LOL....picked up a 2008 SRW 2500 6.7L. Bone stock 1 owner. Already added NERF bars and a Rumble Bee stripe and of course window tint......looking to add the steering box brace next.....anything else I might look at??????

Recently I got the Ultraguage (http://www.ultra-gauge.com) for my truck... should have had it much sooner.. as it provides about 55 different parameters you can monitor, including the EGR and emissions items.. I've avoided some of the issues, I think by limiting low load/short drives that don't get to full operating temperature.. but I do find it annoying to have to do this.. but it does seem to prevent clogging the DPF, since I've never seen the monitor indicate anything other than system OK.

I started a thread that may be helpful to you as a new Diesel owner: https://www.turbodieselregister.com...-typical-EGR-DEF-Nox-issues-as-the-truck-ages
