I'm impressed. Love my trk.
Now that sounds right. Thanks for your information.
I plan on enjoying the cost savings after my 6.0L Powerstroke for 8 years.
Diesel fuel has reached $3.75 a gallon here in Arizona and hate to hear what California is paying.
Also the additive is $5 a gallon. I made the switch because of dollars and cents.
