I have been through the faqs and have not seen anyone running a new dodge on svo or 50/50 blend.
One of my customers is a vegetable oil co. that goes around changing resturant oil.
I live in south florida (kinda hotdown here)and plan to add an inline racor reguardless of using svo or not.
Any warnings or directions to forum info out there?

If it were me I would have no qualms about running B100, but I would not in any way shape or form run svo or a blend in a new cummins, you would be asking for trouble, but that's just me.

We've done one 2005 in my shop,and my former installer Shane Ballensky at http://www.roverhybrids.com has done 2-3, including his own 2004 truck, and he's probably got about 30K miles on WVO. They're fine with a proper conversion. Email me off-Forum and I'll 'splain it to you. It's craigreece@plantdrive.com

As far as warranty issues: everything we'd use, with the exception of a Vegtherm and a flat-plate heat exchanger is ISO 9000 certified for use on diesel trucks - for de-gelling diesel in cold weather. Adding a tank is commonly done by people with diesel trucks hauling 5th wheel trailers - so the addition of such items can't be legally used to not honor a warranty.

That sound like the way to good I should sell my 95 and buy a new one. Then again that is a lot of money.

If I had the truck I would do it in a heartbeat.
