has anyone noticed their coolant level going down? does this new coolant dissipate by chance? it has very slowly gone down since new and now its well below the cold fill line....

Yep just added some last weekend it slowly got down to about 2 inches under cold. I've heard they all do it.

Mine does. I'm still under warranty and having the dealership do the oil changes. Had to ask them to top it off the last time it was in and will have them do it again the next time. They had their diesel tech look it over for a leak and he didn't see any. I'm sure when I go in next time they'll want to take a closer look. FWIW, I drove for 15-18,000 miles with it just below the add mark. Had it topped off about 3,000 miles ago and it's down to the same spot again.

Yes very fun. So my wife wanted to take it to the store the other day. I leave it set on stock if she is driving it. Well she figured out how to change it. Got in it the next day it was on performance. Someone likes playing as much as I do lol

Mine's the same after the tune/delete, stock it would get about 17.1 or so babying it and it was pretty close most times. Deleted the dash shows about 19.6 or so driving the same route the same way but hand calculated its still right around 17.2 to 17.5 but it's a lot more responsive and driveablity is way better.
