Just had the cruise control recall done on my 2018 6.4.

What happened to the big bad 2012 cummins truck? Must have reached a million miles! LOL :B

Got tired of the slow winter warmups. I DD very short hops all year when not towing. From Nov to March really sucked. I may only go 1-5 miles once or twice a day. Truck never reached temps and getting heat out of the heater was tough. I tried the block heater last winter, leaving it on for an hour or so in the morning on a timer along with 5-10 mins on the fast idle to warm things up. That worked fine for heat but ended up clogging the EGR cooler and valve.
Luckily I live in Oregon and FCA has to give me a free 67,000 mile EGR cooler and valve cleaning. A few months back the truck threw a code on a camping trip. It ran fine so I wasn't worried and just waited till I got home to take it to the dealer. They said it had three codes all related to emissions ****. Under the Oregon rule they cleaned the cooler and replaced the EGR valve. Ended up having to shell out $$ for a EGR cooler bypass valve though. They also replaced the PCM under the 8 year/80,000 major emissions warranty.
I could've deleted it and by passed all that stuff, but didn't want to spend the $$$ to do it. I would still have to deal with slow winter warm ups. Then I'd have to reinstall the stuff to sell or trade it. They also found a leaking front crank seal and front pinion leak.
I had been thinking about going back to a gasser anyway so this seemed like a good time. So far I'm loving the 6.4 as far as a DD. Much easier to live with the short hoping I do.
As far as towing my 9300 lb 5er, well the CTD blew the 6.4 away. I can live with it though. I DD way more than I tow. I put about the same amount of miles on towing as DD a year but the time in the truck DD is way more.
BTW I only had 59,000 or so miles on it. :)
