The Diesel Dr has a good rep here in town.......I have 110,000 miles on it and have had very few problems and none of the problems have costed me any money so far. I tried to tell my wife its time to buy a new truck (I was leaning towards a Dodge....no urea). Wife said spend the money on my truck and keep it

I think your wife is a VERY smart woman. Sounds like she takes exceptional care of you.

WAG on my part but I too would say temps. You need to get some gauges. Cheapest for the money in MO is the ScanGauge ll at AZ. $159.00 and it monitors alot of things out of the OBD port. Plug & play.
