It would require reseting of the computer somehow because if you run out of DEF it will only give you 5hp to drive to the stealership.

It lets you go like 30mph after multiple warnings im pretty sure. I'd get some weathertech floormats. window tint. bedliner. gooseneck. skidplate. steps. B&W drop hitch.. the big drop. |

Its on all of them. On the fords its above the fuel tank. So you get a 25gal tank instead of 34 on the dmax. 100$ skidplate takes care of it. Its pretty much level with the framerails. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Is that location New? I drove a brand new 2500 Duramax around the country for a show in 2013 (I think), it used DEF but I never saw that box. That looks like an issue just waiting to happen. Nice looking truck though. Its on all of them. On the fords its above the fuel tank. So you get a 25gal tank instead of 34 on the dmax. 100$ skidplate takes care of it. Its pretty much level with the framerails. This one sticks down about 2 inch's past the frame.

Tire upgrade. I have the same shitty tires on my Cummins and they spin when its wet and its really fun trying to use them in dirt and grass!
Im going to a set of Toyo ATII before winter on mine. My buddy has a 2015 2500 and a 2015 2500 and he tossed the tires ASAP as well. Nice truck.

Been looking into it for my truck Thin motor oil out with diesel fuel so that it's thin enough to spray on through a spray bottle, apply liberally, and then find yourself a dirt or gravel road to go up and down a few times. I learned this from a few of my old-timer, car collecting friends that I've met over the years; it works great and is cheap. OP, you mean to tell me that you are going to level out the truck and then do some hot shot work? I see truck nuts and a stack in your future. Nice truck, don't go tarding it up. |

Both have the same coverage. I have Husky and really like them. Bug guard to try and keep the front hood from getting chipped. http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/10A10002.aspx |

Do on a hot day and warm the cans in a sink of hot water so it flows better. [the newer formulation sets up faster] You'll have to search the web for the best pricing, it's not cheap but a case will do several vehicles. Touch up as needed. Last case was around $150 to the door. |

My 04 half ton needs that factory designed unlevelness to carry things and not have the ass end sagging.
A leveling kit does away with this purposely engineered feature, does it not? why get an HD model if not looking to have the ability to carry things that are heavy? This simple Kentuckian is confused |
