In this video, I talk about my top 5 tips for new diesel truck owners. Everything mentioned is what I've learned owning and maintaining my truck for the last few years:
1. Maintenance is king
2. Monitor your emissions system
3. Use an additive
4. Find a mechanic you trust
5. Drive on the highway
Here are my favorite channels for diesel pick up truck maintenance.

If you own one of these trucks, what advice would you give to someone who just purchased one?

@kgsstudiosfineart 4 месяца назад

A stationary regen can work wonders.

@powerstrokemaintenance 4 месяца назад

Good advice!

Great video. Also if you have to idle your 6.7 I advise getting a high idle switch installed. Best thing to do if you must idle for any length and f time

Thanks for the comment! That’s a great point to add!

I like number 5. My Power Stroke is a beast on the highway - it really likes running right at 70 mph. It sounds so good. But, also need to take care not to over do it especially whe towing loads up long steep grades.

@powerstrokemaintenance 4 месяца назад

It does seem like these trucks love highway miles. What do you do to reduce strain on the truck when towing up hill?

@sweb4614 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the reply! It's just a matter of not gettig too heavy with the pedal. Let the transmision downshift to keep RPM's up and not lug and over heat the engine - or transmission.

You need to do one on old diesel pre def I got a 05 ram first diesel owned I don’t know 💩 about what to do

@powerstrokemaintenance 15 дней назад

Oh shoot! Well a lot of the same principles apply, except you have yourself an engine that will last a lot longer than mine haha

Sup man I just bought a 5th gen ram with the Cummins. Super excited . How do I know if the truck is doing a regen??

@powerstrokemaintenance 2 месяца назад

Congratulations! Those are awesome trucks. Do you have a DPF percentage readout on your dash? If not I would get a dealer or shop to enable it for you. Outside of that it’s hard to tell but the exhaust note and engine sound does change when the truck goes into regen

@raulmarquez9206 2 месяца назад

@@powerstrokemaintenance thank you! I found it. It’s on the dash where it should the dpf percentage like you said.

@powerstrokemaintenance 2 месяца назад

Awesome! you're welcome

I keep seeing videos of mechanics saying these emissions systems, especially DEF, causes unnecessary engine wear, which is why many newer trucks stop working at 100k miles or earlier, when the older trucks last well over 200k some even have over 300k miles.

@powerstrokemaintenance 9 дней назад

It’s because the mechanics only see the broken ones 😂

@fireflyraven2760 Час назад

@powerstrokemaintenance which is why they hate em if I had to fix emissions 90 percent of my career I would have a problem, with it as well not to mention it's expensive
