    I too agree with the earlier comment about running pure diesel. ive found my oil last much longer until it turns black using pure diesel vs using bio diesel. it also seems to run better on pure vs bio. sometimes u get stuck in a situation where u have to run bio but i try not to if i can help it.15-20k on oil,filter and air filter change. fuel filter change as needed, always carry spares.coolant filter every couple oil changes as well as dryer filter.

    Same here, every 25k used to be 18-20k.
    Cut way back on the truck washes also with fuel prices where they’re at.

    10,000 is a waste of money, I am getting 80,000 to 100,000 out of my davco and prefilters.

    Same here.

    Truck gets greased every 5-10k.

    I've been forgetful with fuel filters a few times, and ran then 30-40k miles.

    We probably put more hours on a truck in 10,000 miles than you do in 100,000. We also get about 1.2 MPG average.

    I have used plenty of places that are for trucks use. They're just like the DIY kind for cars but big enough for a semi. Problem is, they suck. The water isn't hot. Cold water anything won't do a good enough job for my tastes.
