Silverado with DEF date?
Does anyone know when they started putting DEF in the diesels? Thanks!

Other then knowing they exist, I have never messed with the glow plugs on any of my duramax's, or intake grid heaters for that matter.
I'm not sure if glow plugs require any scheduled maintenance or not - judging by the name, I would almost think they do at some interval.
I just threw that out because my dealer made it a selling point when we were looking at the Rams.
It is a good selling point. Older Fords would eventually have lots of problems with them including breaking off and falling into the cyl. when one tried to remove them. I don't know about the newer engines though but they must be better.
The Cummins only rarely have problems with the relays that control the grids and the girds themselves are bullet proof. Wouldn't really matter even if they did fail - truck starts fine and anything above -35 without them.
