    Leveling Kit

    Looks good. I was thinking about installing a 3" leveling kit. Why are you recommending not going any more than 2"ish, have you felt a difference in geometry?

    "Service Electronic Throttle Control"

    So far I've taken mine to two different dealers on SE Wisconsin...they don't know how to fix it. From what I've read from on this site, the next step the dealers take is changing injectors, turbo's, EGR, DFP etc... Your choice is deal with the drama then apply for Lemon Law, or...use your scan...

    "Service Electronic Throttle Control"

    I've had this happen three times. On the second occurrence, the dealer told me that I had to purchase the winter grill blanket for $130.00 and another $140.00 to install it. I told them I would install it...took about 15 minutes. From what I've read from fellow ED owners in Canada, the grill...

    RECALL R51 - FCA Recommends a Winter Front Cover for Colder Climates with EcoDiesels

    Do you have a "Lemon Law" in Canada? I think in varies in state to state, but in Wisconsin it is basically this... A new vehicle - no more than a year old and still under warranty - is a "lemon" if - It has a serious defect the dealer can't fix in four tries, or - It has one or many defects...

    RECALL R51 - FCA Recommends a Winter Front Cover for Colder Climates with EcoDiesels

    Part 2... I just spoke with the tech that fixed my truck for more specifies. All of the pipes where frozen from the airbox all the way to the turbo, and all of the pipes connected to the turbo. Before this happened, I was parking my truck with the grill facing the road I live on, which is an...

    RECALL R51 - FCA Recommends a Winter Front Cover for Colder Climates with EcoDiesels

    They said that the intake pipe had frozen water in it and did not know how it happened. They figured it's from condensation and that if it happens again, I'll need to get the grill blanket. Others here say the grill blanket doesn't help, they are still freezing up. It's been single digits to -8F...

    RECALL R51 - FCA Recommends a Winter Front Cover for Colder Climates with EcoDiesels

    That's exactly the same thing mine was doing at 2700 miles. What did the dealer say was the problem?

    ETC failure

    Can a laptop be used instead?
