Re: Archoil

I use Archoil 6500 as a fuel additive replacement to power and clean the engine. I use the 6400 as a periodic fuel additive to clean the DPF.

Re: Archoil

Totally agree that Archoil does a good job. I have used the Archoil 6400-D Fuel System Cleaner and the Archoil 6500 Diesel Treatment. I have noticed a nice improvement in regens with the 6400-D. I add it about every 5-6K miles. I also noticed a reduction in soot in the MAP sensor with the Chevy Dura...

Re: Cummins Fined $1.68B for falsifying emissions

Update on Cummins Recall. Trucks that are 2019 + are not being recalled.(yet?) Trucks that are 2013 up to build date Oct 1, 2019 are being recalled but it sounds like a software fix but that is still uncertain. This Youtube explains it all in 10 minutes with the ridiculous use of the fine proceeds a...

Re: Cummins Fined $1.68B for falsifying emissions

This is good news. Too many people have Cummins engines. My first diesel was a 2004.5 Dodge. Cummins 5.9L. That thing was a beast but boy did it belch smoke.

Re: Cummins Fined $1.68B for falsifying emissions

What is strange is EPA went after Cummins but not Ram??
I would not be buying a Cummins in the near term and I really like the Cummins engine (just not the Ram trannies!).

Cummins Fined $1.68B for falsifying emissions

The EPA just gave Cummins the largest fine ever for falsifying emissions tests and records. Listening to a couple of Ram truck bloggers, this is really a mess because it is unclear what Ram Trucks’ liability as EPA only went after Cummins and further EPA limited the fine to non-commercial (I.e, no S...

Re: A Tow Vehicle religious question

Well, I pulled the trigger last week and bought a used ‘22 Chevy LTZ SRW std bed, diesel, fully loaded with 12.4k miles. After looking for 3 months (and letting a couple get away) I found this one in ST Louis. I flew out and drove it home, still saving $6k over the best deal I could find in NC. My s...

Marv, what is this “California legal” you speak of? Are there rules against carrying extra fuel in CA?

It borders on impossible to find a decent F350 with low miles. Ugh.

A Tow Vehicle religious question

I have come to the conclusion that it is time to trade my beloved 2012 F350 6.7L SRW std bed truck. I am looking for a used, 2021-2023 diesel model with mileage below 30K and SRW, std bed. So my “religious” question for everyone who tows a 5th wheel is, which brand of diesel truck should I trade up ...

Re: 2019 Chevy 3500 diesel. High Country

Marv, I haven’t heard of this problem. I did a quick Google and found this article on fuel pump filter failures in 2016 due to lack of lubricity. Maybe it can point your soon to a soln. Regardless…not a cheap fix. A company called Injectors Direct advertises a soln. There also is a recall for a smal...
