Oil consumption
How much oil do you use between changes accepting that there are no leakes. This is my first Ford and with my GMs I was always about a litre down come oil change time. I used to use that as a yardstick, oil down 1 litre, good, everythings normal. Anyway, this truck doesn't seem to use any...- dieselpilot

Air filter monitor
I know this reads like a diesel tech 101 questions but is the air filter monitor a reliable means of determining the time to change the air filter or do you guys just change it out in a preventative maintenance fashion.

Seduced to the blue side
Well, I did it. I've always been a Chevy diesel guy, always. Had a 6.2, then 3 6.5s with my last rig being a 96 8,600 Chevy SB. Never experienced any problems with this truck but after 10 years and 300,000 KMs I started thinking "new wheels". I visited my Chevy dealer but I didn't get that warm...- dieselpilot
