    Good deal, do you already have your hazmat, and an EIN number? These are things that can hold up the onboarding process.

    I just had about week to run the Pittsburgh power tune, before I had the DEF level sensor go out on me. In that short time I was happy with the increased performance. As far as the catalyst, I’ve been running it consistently for two years. I track my DEF consumption really close, and have used less DEF since running it. The main reason I use the catalyst is to keep my soot levels, and carbon buildup up down.

    My former truck was a 2016 cascadia with 800K +, I sold it three months ago and bought a 2018 International LT with an X15 efficiency, with 355K.

    Spoke with a LS recruiter today and hit my first bump. I currently have only a six-month med card due to a highly elevated A1c reading at my last check. Got an appointment for Friday when I’ll get a new number. Should be under the threshold for a one-year card. At least I’m hoping so.

    I know not addressed to me but as far as Rutherford goes you need to remember he is a salesman first then a showman

    Is everything he spews BS?
    I don’t think so but the good stuff is usually him just rewording someone else’s research
    He will cut anyone off or end a call if he feels backed into a corner

    Catalyst?
    I was told about it from another driver he swore by it, he had 800k on his last
    truck when he started, said it blew smoke, puked, threw codes etc
    Said he just kept at it and had a program he used to reset the codes and eventually it cleaned all the soot etc out of his engine

    I have a 2021 and started it a month or two ago with only 140k miles and it seems it is using less def and runs smoother, even my wife noticed the difference
    My Apu is a 2014 I bought new and this is the 3rd truck it’s been on

    It was choking a few weeks ago and kept chugging until it died so I bought a fuel pump ( didn’t install ) and I kept starting the Apu each time I stopped
    I think it too was full of garbage as it blew smoke. Chugged. And eventually started running and even starting better than I can remember it ever doing so

    You can order online with a subscription that you can alter or stop any time, I think it’s $220. No tax, for me anyway and free shipping and it goes a long way and worth at least getting 1 gal and trying IMO

    I’m not trying to get mega miles out of my truck as they’re disposable vehicles but I am trying to keep it out of the shop. Warranty or not it’s a $$$ just being down

    So I got the call today from the dealership that the part came in yesterday and they installed it today, test drove it, and everything checked out. So I’m renting a car Sunday and heading back up there Sunday evening. Hopefully Monday by midday I’ll back on the road generating revenue.

    Sooner than expected is always a good thing
