The Calgon keeps the valve working smoothly. It can even restore valves that will not close although it takes 15-20 dumps for the restoration.

Ram is tempting due to the Cummins and now the Aisin transmission. My choice will be between Ram and Ford. Will research heavily as time to buy nears. The Cummins is very hard to beat!
