After doing extensive reading I decided to try Mexican diesel in my 2007 Dodge, truck ran great no problems at all. I only used Mexican diesel when hauling the 5th wheel so I don't know if there would be more build up if I was just "running around" and making only short trips.

I was hoping that Ed White would enter this discussion. He did a lot ofresearch and knows people who use the Mexican fuel with no problems. It is my understanding that your truck will do a regen when the DPF needs to be cleaned. And yes the HD truck dealerships as well as the Engine dealerships have a machine to clean out the DPF> If Ed is cooect that will not be necessary. AS for Mexico producing ULSD: I think you will find that the fuel in Mexico is not even LSD it is good old fashioned full strength joy juice. They just started to sell gasoline that is low sulfur. The rst of N.A> has had this for about 7 years or more. There is no compelling reason for Pemex to produce the new fuel. NO VEHICLES sold in Mexico need the fuel so why bother. Ya, they stated that by 2008 it would come online. Problem is the refinery that is supposed to produce the fuel has not been built. Border cities and maybe part of Baja probably get their fuel from SOB. Some of it may be ULSD but it would be so contaminated with Mexican fuel and LSD that I would not trust it to be compliant. Pemex has so many problems that ULSD and the environment are not high on the list.
