I have not done anything other than install a UWS toolbox. Have a Ranch Hand Legend Guard on order. It's taking a little longer to ship due to the front proximity sensors. They had to redo the vertical posts. I will probably put a Rancho, Cognito or similar 4" lift on in a few months and then install the B&W Turnover Ball and 5th Wheel Companion. I will be using this for work as a ROW landman for pipelines and pulling a 5th wheel around the country, so I don't want to do any mods that will mess with ride and towing.
I love everything about the truck. I'm getting 18.2 mpg setting cruise to 81 and 20.5 set to 71. Can get over 22 driving 60-65. Still breaking it in, so I'm keeping my foot out of it, but man this thing will scoot when passing traffic. I have 8,500 miles on it.

Im going to scan it today and see if it is completing regens. I suspect it is only doing partial regens, either way im over it. I use my truck to pull boats around town, never going over 45 in stop and go traffic. I just think the system isnt capable of cleaning itself without maintained highway speeds with a load. I tought the lmls werediffrent from the lmm, only thing I can tell diffrent is that it dosent fill the cab with noxious fumes every time it cycles. I'm disappointed to say the least, I want to leave this truck stock but 7.7 mpg isnt going to cut it...
Sounds like that's your problem, not working them is like the devil for lmls. In the winter at work it was high soot accumulation all the time for people that would warm em up for an hour and drive 3 miles to town and go back again. Yours is a different scenario but same concept

yep called it :rofl:
It's the sst with the 1" rear block and I got the DF 165...
It's worth the wait, my buddies bought cummins and both of their trucks have been in the shop twice for computer replacements... Lol...
Mine has been flawless other than the mileage, but that's gonna get fixed...

Great, thanks! I sent you a PM.
Just a little update, as soon as I added new DEF fluid the regens got further apart and were shorter in duration. My mileage has now risen to 9.9 in regen and I'm averaging 13.1 in town. I'm lost as to what was going on, maybe bad DEF fluid?
If your talking about the high idle (like 825rpm or so) regen, it's a PITA. It's not really cleaning much, if you don't get to speed and keep the rpms up the high idle regen will last a day or so.
I drive in the city (just tools in the bed), averaging 14-15mpg so far with 3400 miles on the truck. Haven't added any DEF yet.
The truck is embarrassingly slow! lol and the bad thing is i'm getting used to it. My wifes infiniti FX35 used to feel like a complete turd to drive when I was used to my silver truck, now her car feels like a friggin race car! lol

I think I had bad def fluid. Yea, its a slug. I drove my wifes benz and was like holy hell this things got some f'n pep, I used to think it was SLOW... lol...
I'm no expert but bad def would just cause it not to work. Def doesn't make or takeaway power. I deleted my 15 with 2k on it because after having my 11 deleted I couldn't stand the fuel mileage of the 15 with the emissions on it.
It didn't loose power it just got terrible fuel economy bc regens were taking forever. I have no clue if the def was bad it's just an assumption bc when I filled it up I started to get better economy...
