The first link takes you to a California dealer, doesn't deletion alter the emissions equipment? If so, doesn't that make the vehicle illegal in California? After 6 years, when you need a smog check, what do you do then?
Taken from the New York Times, May 23d, 2017: United States officials view the Fiat Chrysler matter as less serious (than VW), and stopped short of accusing the company of intentionally engineering the software to cheat on emissions tests. Filing the suit is seen as an effort to accelerate...
We have a 2016 Ram Limited, Eco-diesel 4X4, crew cab with the tow package and 3.92 gears in the rear end. It's got about 10,000 milers on it now.. I usually drive in city traffic between 30 and 35 miles and hour due to all the traffic lights here in Van Nuys, California. We average about 18...
If the oil condition sensor takes all those parameters into consideration and owners report mileage ranging from 3500 to 10,000, between oil changes, then that sensor has to monitor more than just mileage.
I'm not a diesel or pollution control mechanic or engineer, so my opinions and observations may be totally incorrect. However this is what I understand regarding the "Auxiliary Emission Control Devices," that car makers are required to incorporate into their vehicles and are the issue between...
When we took our 2016 Ecodiesel in for it's first oil change, there were about 7 or 8 flashes required and applied. My gut feeling is that these are factory required modifications to the ignition, the pollution controls and other computer driven components. I will probably have the dealer do...
I'm not so sure. Here's another link to the same CD but with a table of contents as well.

I must admit, for the technically challenged guys like me this is a bit confusing but if...
Hey everybody, thanx for all the good information. These forums are almost as good as a shop manual. As a matter of fact, this is the first diesel we've owned and the first vehicle that I did or rather have been unable to get a printed copy of the shop repair manual. I've noticed that I can...
We've had our Ram for a little over a year and I swear I've never seen this. Maybe it happens only when my wife drives our Ram. She's not looking over my shoulder right now so maybe I can blame her for not calling it to my attention or lack thereof!
How can you tell when regeneration occurs? I don't notice any change in anything but I can see I'm slowly consuming the DEF. I've thought about getting one of those devices that tells you when it's happening and can also activate a regeneration cycle. I like the idea of keeping the engine as...
Sorry it's taken a while to reply. The AMP's are great. Only had one problem, the dealer did not properly install the passenger side running board. That side started hanging up and would not deploy. Found a local 4X4 shop familiar with them, they did a reinstall and now both sides work...
