    How long is the extended warranty?

    Hello all! The website http://ecodieselsettlement.com does not work. I received a recall notice again for the emissions. I have read that the re-tune hurts performance. UGH! My engine cratered at 60,000 miles and I received a rebuilt one that is running just as well. The extended warranty...

    Don't floor the accelerator pedal!

    Yep, you are right. I am worried that the previous owner of that engine did not change the oil as I did. I am wondering if the problem that caused my engine's failure is fixed on the rebuilt one. I am thinking two more years or up close to the end of the extended warrant to sell this truck...

    Don't floor the accelerator pedal!

    Eau Contrare! I am in the lawsuit by Stern. They are negotiating differently. I believe the result will be different too. I think it will be a nice Christmas present. I am getting a rebuilt engine this weekend. I hope it is good.

    Ecodiesel failure

    I am a client of Stern Law and they advised me the tune modification is not mandatory, in fact, they told me to explicitly tell the dealer service NOT to do any of that work. Two weeks ago my engine blew, and I wonder if I get a new engine.

    3.0 IS A PIECE OF CRAP

    At 60,000 my engine stopped. It was the first time in months where I had to use full throttle. Full story I posted today above.

    Don't floor the accelerator pedal!

    I usually baby my Ecodiesel. On a 900 mile trip six months ago, with 6000lb trailer, I held the oil temp to 215 and got 19mpg. Two weeks ago I had to pass someone and pushed the pedal down. The engine stopped. First a fuel pump at $1600 and now some kind of crankshaft problem that keeps it...

    Transmission issue

    I have read if the transmission fluid is too old that flushing can be bad. Also, if the tech is not sharp, can you imagine replacing that ZF transmission? At 50k, I will run the fluid to 120 degrees, put in reverse for 10 seconds to backflush the filter, then turn off. I will drain a the pan...

    Ecodieselsettlement.com

    Seeing that $3000 for the class action startled me. So often those class action deals are where the attorneys make millions and the injured party gets hundreds. I opted to go with Stern because it was a straight percentage deal. I am looking forward to hearing from them. RAM requested that I...

    My experience with glow plug issue

    I am sorry to hear these horror stories. That is why I bought my truck new. Tradesman for $30,000. When you drive it for 10 years the annual amortization is less than $2500 a year, or about $200 a month. I drive her tenderly and get 27mpg combined. When I drive highway, I keep her at 60mph...

    2016 EcoDeisel vs. 5.7 Hemi, 1500

    I forget how many years this engine has been in use in Europe. I believe it depends on your maintenance and how you drive that will determine your engine's longevity. I would like to get 300,000 miles. I get 26mpg combined highway and city. That is calculated with the Fuelio app on my phone...

    LED headlights won't stay on

    Thanks all. I forget which company I bought the electronic attachments from. I did not know if I was supposed to add or replace the old one. I attached it to the old one and barely got everything into the light. If I had to do it over again, I would buy those Sylvania bulbs that are...

    LED headlights won't stay on

    Hi all, First, Amazon directed me to the wrong LEDs. I called the company and he sent out a pair of H11. It is quite a pain to install something as simple as headlights. I went LED because I heard they were more simple. They stay on for 30-40 minutes and then turn off. Has anyone else had...

    New EcoDiesel owner guide

    It is okay for Rotella T6 now. 5w40. I change at 8000 miles. At 30,000 miles I will change or rather, flush my transmission fluid. I learned that there is a special way to flush, which involves putting it into reverse, which reverses the fluid direction and backflushes out the filter. I...

    Fuel Additives

    I use Power Service Diesel Kleen. It raises the cetane rating. They have one for cold weather and one for the rest of the time. It is $18 for 80oz at Amazon or Walmart. Use 8oz per fill up, so $1.80 is it...not bad for a lot of peace of mind. I have not seen a verifiable difference in...
