Got mine the day after Thanksgiving. The kid doing the work went way overboard and every crevice of my truck has been oozing and dripping for over a week now. Taking it to the car wash tomorrow or Tuesday.

It doesn't bother me so much, but the kids rarely pay attention when getting in and out and you don't want this stuff on their cloths and coats.

Just got back from a nice Christmas trip with the fam from Lancaster PA! It was fun except for the fact of my EX giving me some fits... I dont have a scan tool yet and I gave it an oil change the day before I left, but it seems to give me what feels like a skip... I've read up some things and found that when turning the key if there is not a constant ticking with the injectors it could be the FICM. I dont want to start throwing parts at it until I know for sure though.. Any help guys?

We got home alright and it wasnt really doing it when cruising at highway speeds but when I would hit a hill or come to a complete stop it felt like a skip... I had the OBD2 read and the only code there is the EGR (due to the delete)... If anyone has a scan tool or suggestions as to where I can get the volts read would be of great help...

This krown treatment...is it oil, more like fluid film? Have to get it done annually? What is the cost for a CCLB? I need to do something to my truck after i put the lift on, but thinking i may just coat it with fluid film for this winter as i wont have much time

Probably something in between. It definitely thickens up over a couple of days and remains for a significant amount of time. It does have to get applied annually but its worth it for new vehicles just for the warranty that comes with it. Great for used vehicles as well but the warranty differs, you would have to research the specifics though. Pretty sure I pay around $150 a year plus the 3 hour drive each way to get it applied.

My truck already has rust underneath, which has me thinking harder and harder about just finding a beater for the winter

well took it in to get it scanned number 5 injector failing. Bought the revx fluid additive go on a trip and I'll see if it clears it up. If I need to replace it, any recommendations on where I should get this done?

I don't think I can be of much help. I'm not sure who the diesel guys around here go to. Miles might have some good recommendations.
