I see from you moniker that you are ”no longer Eco owner”. Does this mean you had a 2020 then got rid of it? Do you have actual experience with the 2020 or is this just a guess/opinion of the 2020? One of the reasons I ask these questions are...1. I specifically asked for input from 2020 owners and 2. I’ve seen many of your posts on this site and you seem extremely negative towards the Dodge ecodiesel in general. Just trying To get a feel for where you’re coming from. Thanks for your reply and taking the time to expand if you would.
I have over 40 years of experience in combustion engine, both Gas and DSL, I left gas decades ago and focus on DSL.
3.0VM (Motori) is a rats nest at best, its surround by QC and designed flaws....Also if you do a search you will find My posting on the 3.0 back in 2015 all care true, the highlighted one was I claimed the tuning was conditional and would fail CAA laws , JAN 2017 the US Gov agree with Me, I was 1.5 years before FCA changed the oil spec of MS11106 to the lube I specially mentioned right down to the spec. I also posted years in advance that the 3.0 was puking at rates of 250+ engines per month in 2015-16 it was confirmed for almost 1.5 years the 3.0 was puking at industry rates 100 times higher. Industry STD minimum is 1 per 1000 rotating mass failure, the 3.0 was failing at 125 per 1000.
I could go on and on Fire's, rotating mass puking, Exchanger , Tone ring , EGR, lift pump, gear, turbo failures at rates 10 to 100 times higher than industry STDs.
I received many phone calls on Puke 3.0 past warranty sitting because the owners just don't have the $$$$$ to replace the overseas MFG power plant at 10 times the cost of its counter gas engine.
Their is no evidence to provide that VM made the changes to fix all its short comings, In fact VM just added technology that many have dropped in the 2020. IMO the only way to save the Ram Eco is Fait Power tech engine. ( FPT has robust DSL's) Even VM has dropped its ad campaign connect to the Eco 3.0.
I bleed DSL but this VM 3.0 is no more then Hero-Zero, nothing is normal about it, You get a Hero their good, get a Zero and your Bank account will be taking big withdraws in long term ownership.
Right now the sales ratio of Gas VS DSL in 1/2 ton is 80/100 to 1, Just not enough sold to really make comparison to 2014-19, Why risk the $. IMO the 2020 is still over engineered and under developed, The engine original purpose was 3200Lbs Car 2005-6 GM/VM, not 6K truck.
Their are some high mileage (HWY) 3.0s , but the ratio my guess for every 1 200K miles error free is 1-200 Zero's
