So, I have just finished rebuilding my 2014 RAM Ecodiesel. I had a shop build the long block, I put all the pheripheral stuff on. I actually put a brand new oil cooler/filter assembly on. The new assembly looks exactly like the old one (which was working fine (ie, was flowing oil) when the...

I never had the vehicle will stop in 200 miles issue, but I did have issues. No guarantees this will work with your 2017, but this is my experience with my 2014. These systems have several issues. DEF fluid cystalises on the guage in the tank (common on other brands of trucks also), that can...

Do you still have EGR active?

So, wherever one buy a quality crankshaft?

I have a 2014 which spun the 3 mains farthest from the oil pump. I now have all new parts except for rod and main bearings, and a crankshaft. I would dearly love to fit wider mains. Are they available from anywhere? Any recommendations on where to buy a new crankshaft or is it suck it and...

Thanks. By oversize beatings, do you mean wider, ie full with of the bearing support, or do you mean oversize as in crank grind? My crank is trash, and I'd much rather fit wider bearings if I can find them. I'm up for a new crank, I've exhausted my second hand marked (all were cracked). Any...

Certainly open to learning. What advice do you have about better bearings (given Dodge have discontinued standard rod and main bearings, and crankshafts)? I actually still need all three ....

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. Mine is, oil is the life blood of any engine. Dirty oil is bad news.

Interesting dilemma. I have a 2014 Ecodiesel Longhorn, and it's a great truck. I drive it 19,000 mile towing our 7000lb trailer around America the summer of 2022, faultless. But in June this year at 101k miles, it spun the mains. I have since learnt a lot! Long story short, had I known what...

That is where my dribble came from on my 2014. I fitted ine new oring, and didn't even bother with the orher, just used some loctite gasket goo, fixed the issue. My turbo coolant hose went too. Replacing wasn't exactly an easy mission, so I put some Risolene Head Gasket fix into the coolant...

EoC tune with EGR delete sure sounds like the way to go.

Hmmm OK, thanks for letting us know. I will check with EoC, they were the ones that told me it was OK to do. I'll let ya áll know when i find out.

It's great for tourists. Book the tocket, just one direct flight from LAX, SFO or IAH.

Cant. I am in New Zealand. Vehicle gets inspected every year, and they are TOUGH.. If they see anything non-standard or standard parts removed, they will fail it.

I am in the process of rebuilding my engine. When it goes back toegther, the difuser tube will be welded closed!
