@Older Slower Wiser - I can echo your sentiments a bit although my ownership 2015 experience has been excellent. I too did some "research" (at least what I thought was research) before I bought my truck. If I remember correctly the first 3 years so the 3.0 was winning engine and truck of the...

Looks like you have a great shop! I would love to follow your progress, keep is posted on how your project goes....

You cannot put a 20+ motor in a 2016 RAM w/o MAJOR modifications, as far as I know it has not been successfully done yet. As far as a rebuild goes it appears parts are very hard to source.

Just letting you know if you really did your research you would know that SKT has a lot of problems the last few years with customer service. A wise ecodiesel owner would take a close look at the EPA compliant Green Diesel Engineering Tune or the MR Tuning from Ecodiesel of Canada.

I had 1.25 inch spacers installed on my 2015. I believe did it in 2016. I have had no issues whatsoever. I don't really do any off-roading but I do tow a 6600 lb. travel trailer frequently.

It was my understanding that the MS-12991 was for the Gen 3, 2020 and newer Ecodiesels. The recommendation for 2014 -2019 is MS-10902. I am far from an oil guy though! https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10218515-9999.pdf

Your pics definitely underscore the benefits of a quality tune!

Completely untrue, the dealer did not put a new engine in because the HPFP did not fit. Either your dealer lied or you misunderstood.

1. What equipment do I need to re-program the computer answer (Illegal option) 2. I’m wanting to do a full delete but leave all components in place. “Incognito Delete” answer (illegal option) Has anyone else tried this and what worked best. Yes including removing DPF and CAT filter...

nice job, that has to feel good!

Sorry but it is just you, there is no conspiracy to flash your ECM. Also, your ECM does not need to be updated for the new HPFP pump although they would quite likely check that your vehicle has the latest software, much like any IT person working on any computer.

What is the E46 recall? If you are referring to the HPFP recall how would a full delete effect that?

Have you done any work around the wheels lately? Brakes, Shocks, lift kits, etc....?

Thank you for that info, definitely food for thought! I have seen the braided hose you are talking about and it looks like a high quality piece that will give years of service!

I had it done at the local dealer. The total cost was $1700.00 I believe. The only other thing I really worry about is the coolant line under the intake manifold. I may get an estimate on that too.
