    Well this sucks!

    Well this sucks!

    My truck decided to have some fuel issues on Christmas day when i was picking up my 5 year old son. He mentioned how his moms new boyfriend has a nice new truck and maybe i should get a new one. The method of repair shows the mood i was in after that.

    Combination diesel and def slip tank for pickup

    How often do you drain out your fuel tank? Seems like every year when we pull the tanks from the truck beds there is always crap at the bottom. Do you really want to do that to your def system?
