Do not put any additives in any 2007MY you will have problems. If for some reason you can't find ULSD in remote areas you can run a tank or two of regular diesel fuel. But when you get back to a station with ULSD put some in and run at high way speed for at least a 1/2 hour to generate heat in the exhaust. This will help clean out the deposites left from the regular fuel.

You won't have any problem. We had school buses around the country running that engine and didn't have any problem with ULSD.

additional lubricicity additve takes 3 minutes and is relatively cheap for the peace of mind. I am faithful about it.

other than being less mod friendly in terms of electronics, and the particulate trap system, the '07 "classic" and the new '08 are pretty much the same truck.

the new body style is on the existing platform.

I think the NBS HD front clip looks BULKY.

I'm keeping this one.

Nice Rig, I've also filled up at Longways.

Same, not near the same energy output of petrolium diesel. Get the latest issue of motor trend mag.....they have a great article about bio fuels etc.

Ok question, I have a new 07 Classic but on the fuel door it only says "low sulpher diesel fuel" does that mean its really just a leftover 06 that they called an 07?

07 Classics and 06 LBZ's are the same, you can run any diesel you can buy on the road.
