    Wont crank warm or hot-Runs perfectly and starts cold

    Ive had clearances inside the starter, change due to temperature. Corrosion in the starter motor itself, causes hot start issues. Corrosion in the throw-out relay, causes cold start issues. Interestingly, I've been able to mitigate both by injecting something like LPS#2 into the solenoid...

    2014 Eco Diesel Ram Technical Specifications

    They have parts now on a roll-out allotment program. Odds of failing are slim I think, but if it does, tow it over!

    Dealership States Blown Head Gasket

    Overheating will cause a head gasket to go. Or if the head bolts have loosened off. They diagnosed it as an oil passage breach, block to head, which I had in Audi V8. The service record showed a dealer re/re of the heads but there must have been a leveling issue, cause it kept leaking. I...

    2018 Ram 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel died

    Lose - lose on the Ford. Despite having good women and men working there, Ford at core business level are crooks. They pilfer engineering from acquisitions, then spin them off. There is no intrinsic ecosystem of innovation and engineering. Just slime on the take. I dont see a single engineer...

    Well here's what happened to me .. in Canada. Volvo Canada could care less. Transport Canada while nice folks, and logged the issue but did nothing. I imagine there has to be people dying, CBC flaming up, before they are going to lift a finger. With this Volvo I had no brakes, was on fire at...

    3.0 eco deisel engine failure

    I'm thinking if your DEF is flowing, and gets used up, the SCR is clean then you are good. Our truck was one DEF tank per year, wasn't used much, all short distance, idling etc. My god the worst thing ever for this exhaust treatment system. If the exhaust treatment system is removed, then there...

    2018 Ram 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel died

    Me too, thought it was the tone wheel. Bosch pump. Bosch doesn't make junk, so something is unexpected there.

    2015 Ram Ecodiesel incorrect def fluid detected, what now??

    3.0 eco deisel engine failure

    The problem with ALL diesel motors starts with emissions law (EPA). Have to say diesels are pretty nasty oil burners. Modern gas is much cleaner and simpler with just a single catalytic and a couple of O2 sensors. Ok so engineers at Bosch build the impossible - 1. A particulate filter, 2. A...

    3.0 eco deisel engine failure

    Blown engines happen, time to fix it. That's motoring 101. Class action suits etc nothing but aggravation and noise. Why is it that when $hit happens it's supposed to be someone else's problem?? Your problem started with buying given the terms (no warranty etc). My truck blew at 30K miles! And...
