Its almost unbelievable to read that and think that I bought this truck for the dependability. MEANWHILE, I signed up for ecodiesel roulette. If I wasn't driving slow and monitoring the noise situation I could have been killed going into that intersection. My current issue today is FCA is...
TC Diesel, thank you for the supporting details. What calibration is being discussed, ECM calibration? This is good information, and will be useful for use within an arbitration case. I'm attempting to open multiple Investigation cases against MOPAR and FCA because of this engine failing and...

For oil changes:
