Some truck stops are already stocking Urea and it costs about the same as a gallon of diesel.

You'd think something other than 3.55's would be attatched to that "Electronic Locking Axle! But I'm no expert and it being a SD might have its reason?

Otherwise its a damn Fine truck!

Thanks for sharing

I figured this Urea system would do away with the DPF... Looks like it still has one? Thats a shame.

I think DPF's should go down in history as one of the biggest automotive blunders.

Maybe when it's incorporated into a pre-existing engine design, but having an engine built with DPF in mind that's able to put down numbers like the 6.7 and return mileage in the low to mid 20s...I'd say it's not such a bad thing at all.

Where did you hear that it got low to mid 20's? I have read many people say they would buy one if it got that kind of mileage, but I would like to see some actual numbers. So far, all I have heard was speculation.

wtf?

There's folks on PSN and TDS that have already gotten their and are reporting their mileage. The lowest I've seen so far is 17 in town. One guy got 21 short highway trip and felt he could have easily gotten higher if it was a longer trip.

Cool. I haven't been to either of those sites in a while. I do know that the 6.7 is quiet! It sounds like a gasoline engine with a turbo. The turbo whistle is much more noticeable due to the engine being so much quieter.

I wonder why the oil pan has that waffle-like layer on the bottom.
