Hey fritz, you ever think of getting your oil analyzed?

 

That's a lot. When I used to do short trips in the city, the highest I ever saw was 2.2%, (per Blackstone).

15W40 may have a thicker film than 5W40, but, you should be more concerned with film strength, than film thickness. Strength comes from the add pack of a quality oil.

Blackstone recommended for me to drive or idle the truck after a regen to "burn off" any residual fuel.

 

I have done that -- when I have arrived where I need to be and she's still in regen mode, I put truck in park to shut off regen, then let idle some to get rid of the residual fuel.

As for completed active regens, I usually drive at least another 10 miles after one before I get home.

 

You have a Lariat, right?

The only good thing about my XLT is, with the base cluster, I can initiate a static Regen in my driveway. Can you do that with Forscan??

 

Yes sir. I have looked into FORscan but have not messed around with it but I want to. I have a Banks iDash 1.8. With the new software update, I can perform a manual regen right from the iDash.

 

delete typically stops, or drastically reduces, the fuel dilution on older 6.7s.

 

cant delete in nyc…they do yearly emissions tests.

 

If we didn't have such a progressive state government, and in your specific case, such a liberal City gov't, I would consider deleting more than I am when the DPF reaches it's end of life. I'd have a stock and tow tune. But it is what it is. Not saying I'd completely rule it out though.
