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.

wtf?
