Hey,
I have never had a diesel before, but this has really open my eyes. Its a big difference from my 1500HD. Well my question is on maintaining it the right way? I have already done a oil change(castol) and added a k&n air filter. I also put on a dynomax pipe(system). It seems to run a bit better. I don't want to go crazy with it at this point till I get the feel for it. Any feed back would great.

Hi buelldude,

Where in VA are you? I'm from CA, but I'm in the Norfolk area until Sunday. Drop me an email at socaldmax@cox.net and we might be able to talk diesel. I'm having withdrawals!

Regards, Steve

Just my two cents worth but i would recommend an oil made for diesel engines, like delo 400, rotella, amsoil, or mobil delvac. these oils are formulated for today's low sulfer engine fuel. Most of these will run cleaner for longer oil drain periods... Good luck with the new truck you will love it...
