    3.0L Duramax DPF regen graphs

    Agreed @wwillson DEF by nature is not flammable since it is Urea and water. DEF is used in a chemical reaction to lower NOx. On the 2012 Cummins, diesel fuel is injected post combustion cycle to increase the temp in the DPF to help burn off soot. I'm guessing the same on yours... BTW, cool...

    Which spark plugs for pentastar 3.6?

    I did the plugs in our 2014 T&C last spring. I installed NGK Laser Iridium's (high ignitability) from Rock Auto. I removed what I suspect to be the OEM plugs which were Champion's. I haven't noticed anything except improvement on 10 year old plugs... Picture in the thread below. Thread...

    Thoughts on only changing oil filter every other oil change

    I've always changed the filter every time. Currently, I go until the EVIC says oil changed required on my vehicles. My rationale for changing the filter every time is I don't take a shower and put the same clothes back on. 🤷‍♂️ Just my $0.02

    Nextra to Restart Dwayne Arnold Nuclear Plant in Palo Iowa

    @MolaKule interesting enough my wife received a call for a survey around this last week. The questions were fairly pointed and she could not discern if the person was in favor or not of the plan. She answered a lot of the questions with I would need more information to answer that. Good news...

    What oil for RAM 2012 Megacab 3500 diesel?

    @bogtank I have the same truck but in a 2500. I have used Mobil Delvac 5w40 and 15w40 in the past. I am running Mystik JT-8 15w40 currently. Personally, FWIW, I don't think you have an oil issue. I don't see excessive soot on my truck but a few things for you to consider. 1 - I removed my...

    How often to change oil on snow blower?

    FWIW, when I had my walk behind 2 stage blower, I changed it annually in the fall prior to the snow season. My thought was 20ozs of oil is a minor cost when I needed the beast to move snow. I now have a 2 stage blower for my riding mower. The oil is changed in the mower annually as well...
