First Oil Report
I got my first oil report at 16,757 miles with 2,575 miles on the oil.
What do you think of the aluminum, cause for concern? I was thinking about the Spartan DPF/DOC delete and wanted to be sure all was OK first.

Andrew,
There are a couple of good things here, no fuel in the oil and your oil is holding up well. Even with the regen's.
I think that i would wait for another sample or two before I did anything so that you have a better base to draw upon.
I guess I better get with it and send one in.

My truck seems to almost never regen. It used to somewhat regularly, maybe every other tank of fuel, but I don't think I have seen it do it in months lately.
I really want to get the Spartan....it takes 6 months to go through 5000 miles for another test

Not the first person that has offered to take my truck off my hands 
I thought I was going to have to put in a new AC on my house, but looks like I was wrong. Gosh....that Spartan is getting tempting.

Hello Scott, what were you pulling that thing for? I think I like the one you have behind your truck normally a little better (and I am sure you do to). Those older ones were really heavy. I get to pull mine with the new truck in just a couple weeks now. Only going about 150 miles, but will be fun to see how the new truck pulls. I finally was able to bust the wife away from her office and get her camping again over Memorial Day weekend. Going to a campground down by Mt. St. Helens.

Well we are a little off topic here, but yes. They are performing well. In fact, with this 5th wheel that I just moved they came in real handy to hitch up. The 5th wheel was up so high I air the bags up to 90 psi to meet the king pin so I could get power to the stands and lower it back down to the correct height.
