Then servicing the truck, with the mandate and an oil bypass filter, I would be doing that by the hour, not the mile. Someone here can break those numbers down. Just my .02 having been through the ringer with my truck before removing the mandate, which exposed even more issues, like the bad head.

I understand where your coming from, I wish I had the balls to remove it right now but I just can't bring myself to do it.Not to mention I would have to drive it at least 7 hours from here to have someone that knows what they are doing de-mandate it. I'm gonna put a bypass filter on it and change the oil every 175-200 hours.

I'm not positive but wouldn't the dealer give you a hard time about recall repairs(like the current ECM and fuel pump recall) if your mandate has been removed?
