    2021 Eco diesel

    I've got 70,000 miles on my 2021 Ram ecodiesel and received my first recall notice on the fuel pump about a year ago. No parts available. I've had several conversations with Ram on this. To the OP, when yours failed, and they kept the truck for months, did they give you a loaner, and was it a...

    3.0L Ecodiesel Enginer Replaced

    What year was your truck? How long did it take Ram to get engine for you?

    FCA warranty denial

    53,000 miles on my 2021 without issues. Still waiting for Ram to replace the recalled, now notorious, high pressure fuel pump.

    2020 Ram Eco Diesel Engine Failure

    I got nothing. Deleting the DEF also deleted whatever warranty you might have had. Too bad for you since now ALL the V 3 EcoDiesels have a recall on the Version 4.x fuel pump. . . But you deleted the DEF and gave FCA a warranty out. Your choices are limited. Look for a used engine off a wreck...

    16 Ram - Engine Blown/warranty won’t cover

    $12,000. Wow. The terms of the contract, and their legality in your state are critical. The warranty company will try to substitute a rebuilt, or worse, a used, engine and try to force you to replace as little as possible at a cheap shop that's not qualified. I live in NY, I'd get my local and...

    16 Ram - Engine Blown/warranty won’t cover

    I've been in the same position. Did they put reason for denying the warranty in writing? I doubt that larger tires have anything to do with engine failure, but when faced with a +$5,000 bill for engine replacement, your warranty company is bound to try getting out of paying for any excuse. If I...

    Trailer Reverse Steering Control Does Not Work!

    Many months ago Ram notified me that 2021 trucks with "reverse steer" have been recalled because the camera won't always work. I don't have any problems with the rear view camera. MY PROBLEM is that the REVERSE STEER doesn't work at all. After the recall (Y-30) was performed in May, the reverse...

    Joined Club Yesterday, That Was Easy (NOT!)

    Nobody said buying a truck during Covid would be easy. Back around Veteran's Day I ordered a 2021 Big Horn. Loan from Credit Union is approved, check is cut with a blank for specific amount, not to exceed $50,000. It has an expiration date of January 27. Estimated delivery date (from dealer) is...

    Looking at buying a 2014 Ram ecodiesel crewcab for work

    To Other Folks on the Forum, Am I a crazy cynic? Would FCA really put a new Eco Diesel engine in a 2014 with 120,000 kilometers (75,000 miles)? Would you believe a dealer who told you this? Am I alone in this? Would you buy such a thing?

    Looking at buying a 2014 Ram ecodiesel crewcab for work

    Seriously? This is a NEW EcoDiesel 3.0? You are telling me they put a new FCA built EcoDiesel 3.0 in a truck this old? The dealer is telling you this? No way. If they did I'd want to know exactly why. And tell them to prove it. You want to see supplier order and work order documentation. If...

    Gen3 still same issue ? Crankshaft positioning sensor?

    Crankcase position would make all those things happen. Why didn't they check / replace the sensor the first time? Weird.

    P0191 Error code Extended Crank Time

    Hmmm.... is it now sporadic or all the time? Does it happen all in all kinds of weather? How cold is it where you are?

    Looking at buying a 2014 Ram ecodiesel crewcab for work

    OK, but need more information. Are you doing mostly highway driving? An ecoDiesel is made for highway driving, and it likes lots of towing of moderately heavy trailers. Not so happy with city driving and idling. Are you doing city or highway miles? Are you towing? How many miles/ kilos are on...

    Should I buy an Eco-Diesel?

    OP: Are you seriously thinking of towing a 5,000 boat with a Ridgeline? I would NOT tow a 5,000 boat with a Ridgeline. I just glanced at the specs for a Ridgeline (https://owners.honda.com/vehicles/information/2020/Ridgeline/specs#mid^YK2F5LJNW) and here is what I think: 1. A standard...

    EPA Report on Diesel Tuners Leaked

    If the EPA is mandating the method of exhaust reduction, I too wish the EPA would instead simply mandate the pollution number manufacturers have to hit. And that's coming. When I lived in Virginia they were setting up automated exhaust testing at intersections and on highway ramps. You drove by...
