So far I've found that there is an additive that I'm suppose to put in the differentials when I change the fluid since it's a limited slip, and I know that the old 7.3L Fords had something that was put in the antifreeze to prevent cavitation, but I can't find any information like that on current engine. Is there a holy grail resource site that can help?
Please fire away with all your help. Thanks

I have a 3 gallon box of Chevron Delo 400 out in the garage. Maybe it is time to go to NAPA and get the Gold oil filter and get the oil and filter changed. It has been many months, after all...

Why so often???
I did Blackstone testing and found I was good to 10,000 miles per change, worked out to about a year.
I did 10k changes on my 98 12V. It was easy to remember. Blackstone said I could go longer also.

Fords last longer so their maintenance intervals are better?
Ram cummins meet CP4.2.... CP4.2 meet the new Ram cummins...
Don't worry about maintenance, I'm sure ram improved their fuel filtration?

12V you reccomend amsoil because you now know itโs a Ram?
Because you know that stuff donโt work if itโs a Cummins in another brand? (Which isnโt really possible if you understood the context of the OPs post.)
Like Iโve said before , the intentional, overtly literal interpretations by some here are sooo amusing. Very akin to my little ones interpretations, but now that heโs almost 13, heโs actually grown out of that phase...
What does what I said below have to with your comments above??? I already "ASSUMED" it was a RAM truck and just wanted to know what truck it was year etc. You have anything better to do today???
Now that you have mentioned what truck you have.
I prefer AMZ/OIL products. I prefer their oil filter also as it's made by Donaldson. The FleetGuard strata pore is a fine filter the Donaldson is simply better.
I run full 15k oil Changes with good Blackstone reports to back it up.
I use Mopar, FleetGuard or Racor for my fuel filters, Racor only makes the under bed filter. FleetGuard makes the engine mounted filter and air and oil filters that can be labeled Mopar. DON'T use off brand filters!!!!!!!!!!!
The MOPAR oil filter does NOT have the synthetic Stratapore filtration. Personally would NOT use the Mopar oil filter unless doing short oil changes.

The date code on the BlueDEF box
GA202320089
break this down into 4 groups of numbers:
GA: The designator of the plant that manufactured the DEF
15: The year of manufacture plus 1, so this DEF was made in 2019
232: 365-232 = 133, so the 133th day of the year, or May 13th.
0089: The batch code.
So this box of DEF was made May 13th, 2019.
Chris
Your close but no cigar with your logic.
20: The printed year minus 1, so yes it was made in 2019
