Check out the new truck

No, not mine. Someone picked up a new truck today and joined the diesel club.

Well i cant mooch off other people for ever. Any one got 20 bucks for fule?

HAHAHAHAHA, what about $100 for an oil change? LOL

So who got that?

Anyone know when the automatics changed from the 47/48RE to the new transmissions? Do they hold up better? Are the tow/haul modes actually useful now?

Thought Josh and all the free oil filters could help me out with that. Ya and 20 dollars aint going to do shit in that tnnk Took 46$ to get it to half a tank.

Oil filters are cheap. They are only $12 from the dealer, which is not bad at all. Oh and welcome to $75 fill ups. Just a word of advice, and I am sure others would disagree with this, but a little wise birdie that used to work for a Dodge dealer told me to change by fuel filter at every oil change, cause it was the life of the truck. I change my oil every 5000 to 7000 miles.

Robbie, you are kidding me right? I figure Doug's response would have given it away.

Have no idea about the new transmissions. Josh might be able to answer that question better.

$75 did not fill mine up in Mcalester, and that was $2.49 fuel.

I still disagree with the changing the fuel filter every oil change. A dirty filter is not going to let through any more trash than a new one. You just stand the risk of it clogging and you not going anywhere, as they don't have a bypass. I carry a spare and the tools to change it with me.

Speaking of, that little birdie needs to email me at robbie at cowtownjeeps dot com since I don't have his email address.

Doug, Geno's Garage is your friend. Here's the Fleetguard Stratopore oil filter for $13.

Those puppies are $40+ at the stealership.

Robbie you can disagree all you want, but when it comes to that I will take Josh's word over yours since he is in the industry and saw issues with our trucks on a daily basis. Your truck, do what you want.

The guy that sweeps the floor is "in the industry".

I'm not picking on Josh, I know he knows his shit, but I've had MANY a service writer tell me shit that was horribly wrong. Just being "in the industry" does not make you an expert.

Hey, it's your money, blow it if you want

I swear Robbie you would argue with a fence post. We aren't talking about any other service writers. I was specifically referring to Josh. That is okay though. Hey Josh, tell Robbie to go get fucked next time he needs help with his truck, since you "are in the industry".

They won't service my truck at the Mercedes dealership. LOL

You missed the part where I said "I know he knows his shit", didn't you?

...and did you see the part where I wasn't referring to anyone here but Josh.

Where do you get your filters? I don't know if you know...I got the 2009 version :0)

I use Mopar, but most people use Fleetguard which is the Cummins brand filter I believe. You can get them at the Cummins house or www.genosgarage.com . Josh was telling me that he uses Baldwin filters. Trouble with that is if you don't live near a dealer then it is hard to use them, plus 9 times out of 10 they have to order them, at least the one near us does.

So did you get your truck fixed from two months ago?

So buy them by the case... I buy my wifes trucks oil filters by the case and my oil and fuel filters by the case... I always have one on the shelf...
