I have a supply built up. Good enough for a year on the half ton.

I just don't know what to expect the 6.6 will use, pulling most of the time.

I am a small farmer of only 750 acres. In another life, I was a diesel mechanic in my twenties. So I can work on and repair my equipment. With that said, I have a all pre-emission lineup. I can spray, plant, spray, harvest and haul, without def or a computer. Not many of us left, cause I can't think of a neighbor that could even get seed in the ground, with as much new shiny metal in the fields as there is.

By the way, I pick the '22 3500 drw up Wednesday!

I pray to the truck gods that you’re wrong about this!
