RJ,

It was a Cummins bulletin. I saw it on one of the Dodge sites. If I can find it I will post it.

Again, not trying to stir anything up- but if you're going to go to the expense of installing gauges that usually means you have (or are planning on) some "warranty-voiding" mods. If the truck is otherwise stock, why gauges? I guess they do have some entertainment value.

On the other hand, I've come to the conclusion that your warranty is only as good as your dealer. Back on topic: yes, I agree B5+ will "void your warranty". But so will a lot of other things that have proven fairly benign for our CTDs. Use at your own risk.

 

I'm all for being "green" but Big oil is still making a ton of $$ off any thing that isn't B100 and made by you in your garage.

As far as my new truck warranty goes I put the gauges on because I missed Knowing what was going on with my truck (My 01 was mildly bombed) and I wanted to know when to shut it down when I stopped (turbo cool down) and entertainment and because I bought/traded them for a Amsoil bypass that would not work on my new truck.

I want to wait tell the warranty is up but will see DTR makes it hard!

Just and FYI, Bio will gel at around 43.5 degrees so if you use it in the north where it gets cold then be careful and use anti gel in your fuel.

 

Ok, one more time.... does anyone know where they sell bio in San Antonio?

Anyone?

 

One more time???

You waited a year and a half to ask again?

If you go to http://www.biodiesel.org/buyingbiodi...lfuelingsites/ you will see a list of retailers in your area.

Took all of 9 seconds to check google and post the link...........

 

I've run up to B50 in my 04.5, with no problems. I changed my filter after my first tank, but no probs whatsoever.

My best mileage is at about B20.

I average about 20mpg mixed city/hwy driving while empty.

Hwy driving only I can get about 24 mpg out of a tank.

And giving big oil and OPEC the finger certainly is a great incentive to run bio.

yah, but why when you did it for me

I've looked there before and never saw any dealers in San Antonio, only in Austin, and I don't want to drive over an hour to get Bio.

 

TOO MANY 2006 trucks that had injector problems after using bio for me to even consider the stuff. Stick with #2 or ULSD and an additive, much less overall risk. My dealership told me that bio could have warranty issues over injectors and such.

I don't think it's worth it to try it.
