That ‘14 is long gone, but I’d like to get that letter. I’m sure I could find the receipt for the DEF heater I paid for. My letter of February 2022 states, "This program increases the reductant heater and sender warranty coverage to a total of 11 years or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever comes first."

GM has a similar special coverage for some Duramax DEF reservoirs.
Pass the gravy.

Knock on wood, no issues yet with my 2018 L5P DMax.
One of the biggest scams of DEF is what it’s made of. Literally pee and distilled water. That’s it. So I guess if you can distill water on your own and pee in it, you’ll always have a supply of DEF on hand. Lol
Oh, and that pee part I mentioned…urea, which breaks down into ammoniacal nitrogen is starting to kill or brown the vegetation on the sides of highways from all the semi truck exhaust exposure. SMH.

A buddy gave me a spare 2019 Lariat and she really likes the way it drives. I can really see the difference between it and my 2015. Now the Jeep is starting again.

It's turning. The dealership set me up with a brand spanking new F150. Sweet and can't complain. I was leaving the parking lot of the dealership when the Jeep mechanic called and let me know it was already repaired. Same days service - wowsers! The gremlin turned out to be a short in the fuse box assembly.

'Glad the fleet is coming back online. One son-in-law from out of state is driving my 4Runner all over the state this week with my youngest and their 2 babies in it. He's one of the worst drivers I've ever seen. We're keeping the babies overnight Saturday while they go to a wedding. Exciting and exhausting at the same time.
