tankeryanker,

Call me when you are ready to trade, that has to be one of the lowest mileage Cummins traded. Hope you got a good trade. I had 30,000 in 13 months and that is just back and forth to work and a few trips to the track.

I changed the stock filter every 7,500, now I have the FASS installed I have to figure out that sequence now.

Better keep some biocide in that fuel - Thats an awful long time to keep diesel without burning it!

what 15k on an oil change I hope you are changing the filters a little more often than that. That being said Have you ever tried to change the belt? I did it in my garage and it took a few hours. I would hate to do it on the side of the road!!! And I change mine about every 10k. But sometimes I forget to go to the parts store and get one.
