    I have an X-15 in mine, and it does make a noise when pulling at around the 1200-1400 rpm range that I’ve seen some mistake for a rod knock. Maybe that’s what he’s talking about.

    No cameras, just the one on the Bendix that reads the lanes and speed limit signs, which I have since learned to ignore. :laughing6:

    But the worst is the adaptive cruise control. I hate that. :mad:

    That lane departure thing goes off on virtually every on and off ramp. I hate it.

    The adapative cruise and the collision mitigation system are OK if you like going 45mph on the interstate and like the brakes slammed on. I’ve got a few insights to tricking them. I hate them.

    Only a forward facing company camera for me. Meh. Might as well hate it. :)

    I've seen 9-9.3mpg on 30K loads on my van but with 40-45K loads 7-8mpg. But, I do have the areo package and trailer tails.
    Truck set at 70 and has the double throttle pump passing gear that pushes it to 74. Climbs hills like a goat. Lots of torque.
    The only issue I've had is a bad coolant sensor w 180K miles. I'm not familiar w the loud vibration you're talking about.

    Dosing for aftertreatment is done with the main fuel injectors, in cylinder on the exhaust stroke on the X15 for 2017. Same as the midrange product has been doing for years.

    More important that ever to monitor for oil dilution and overfull on engine oil. Oil sample often for excess fuel can pinpoint regen issues or faulty injectors early.

    that was in my head. at every oil change oil analysis is needed. Interesting. it may affect lifespan of turbo and liners...
