I think with the short mileage for the time stated, I would run a dose of algaecide for a couple of tanks just in case. Especially if any water intrusion is present whether in the fuel or from condensation. We have trouble with it around here in storage tanks.

It may be the turbo actuator cycling or check the valve that blends the air from the egr cooler or from the exhaust manifold. The one with the two little cables on it. See if the noise coincides with movement of the valve.

Try it with the transmission dipstick removed. Be sure to plug the tube with something. My 2022 is 18 months old with 19k miles and I still get a whiff of coolant every now and then on the driver side at the radiator but have never seen a drop of coolant anywhere. The noise sounded louder when...

Also check for intake leaks between the air filter and the engine. 49 ppm is pretty high for silicon.

Are you using the Archoil 6400D or the every tank 6500D ? The 6400D is recommended every 5k miles and it does a very thorough cleaning of everything fuel and exhaust related. I think there is a test for the fuel pump to see if there is any leakage there. Also if you determine that it is regen...

You need to find out where the fuel is coming from, regens or pump or injector(s). Ram had a major recall over the CP4 pump involving 2 years of production that the pump was used. If it’s regen issues, that entails a significant amount of different things it can be.

Be careful what you wish. Karma is h3ll.

Well not to derail the thread, Merry Christmas to everyone! I would like to continue but I don’t want to be pi$$ed off all day. So Peace. Out.

Or broke down at the dealership for weeks or months with NO fix available while the notes come regularly and the insurance payments while you have to catch a ride to work. And if you think these are isolated incidents, check out any of the diesel pickup forums. There’s thousands of them from...

How many did you see that didn’t even make it to the highway ? Current emissions strategies are designed to eliminate ICEs and mandate EVs. Luckily some of this may change early in 2025. I’m saving my coin for a delete to help out the Green Initiative while I throw another log on the fire. 🔥

It looked a little stouter in the UOA that I ran after 5900 miles in my 6.7CTD.

Valvoline uses more magnesium than calcium in their formulation. Have to be sure that it doesn’t cause LSPI in our HD diesels with automatic transmissions. Im really not sure which is better. High magnesium or high calcium. Big Brother has to take care of us. We don’t have sense enough to do it...

I’m running a Duracell AGM in my 4 wheeler and it’s in its 3rd year. I was having to replace the Honda batteries every or every other year with it being ran regularly. I’ll have to check the voltage and see what it reads.

I ran one in my 08’ Silverado and after 10 years it finally gave up. I didn’t replace that one with an AGM but when the batteries go in my Ram Cummins, that’s what will go back in it. I told the guy at the parts store that I wanted to warranty the battery. He said “well when did you buy it?” I...

You would really need to weigh it before the install to have a baseline measurement to go off of. Even another filter exactly like that would probably weigh more/less. Also the size of the particulate matter that it catches would make a difference. Coarse sand vs ash. The filter minder is the...

Unless you’re in a very dusty environment, you’ll be surprised how long the air filter will last. Even if the filter looks dirty doesn’t mean it has a lot of restriction. Keep watching it.

Yeah it’s interesting seeing the fuel dilution dropping from what it was early on.

How’s your truck been doing regen wise ? Frequent regens can cause fuel dilution especially when doing longer OCIs. Nature of the beast.

I finally figured out how to find the engine build date. It shows the engine was built 5/20/2022. One month before the truck build date. Thanks again.

Went by Sams and it’s $52.xx in the store.
