All somewhat sound advice, except, when something is meticulously maintained and insured properly it’s kind of a moot point. Fords recall is for an engine block heater, and they’re admitting the problem, and fixing it. FCA could give a crap less that the EcoDiesel is blowing up left and right...
Wish I didn’t know what you’re going through, and I can say from personal experience I will never own an FCA product again after mine burned down. Insurance didn’t give me near enough money, these trucks are virtually worthless. I had Gap and that took care of it, regardless though it was a...
Well being as there’s no instructions, depending on how mechanically inclined you are would be the deciding factor. Unless you want to spend the coin and pay an independent shop to put it on.

Never again will I own an FCA product, mine kinda just spontaneously combusted on me while driving down the interstate. Mine was a 2016 with 55k miles.

I did take the foam out and kept the truck really clean. However I did have the front timing chain cover re-sealed by a dealer recently. Not sure what needs to be taken off the engine to do this job. such as fuel rails and what not. I’m not sure what caused this, mere seconds before this...

Can get luberfiner oil filters for $9.13 and they’re identical to factory mopar except color of the big gasket. Specs out the same as far as micron rating and material according to what I can find.
That’s technically how it’s supposed to be for anything aftermarket that you put on your vehicle. They’re not supposed to be able to void your warranty if it can’t be proven that an aftermarket part caused the damage. Unfortunately they have deeper pockets than most of us and better lawyers.
