Figured this warranted an update...I am no longer an EcoDiesel owner. Got into a 2020 GMC Sierra with the 5.3 gas engine. I looked at the GM 3.0 diesels, but was advised by a friend close to the subject to avoid being a gueinna pig again for an "unproven" engine (they're already coming in to the...

Last month (March 23rd) my truck was towed to the local dealership. EGR failure and a spun main bearing (https://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/well-it-happened.4141/). Today (4/15) I picked it up from the dealership with a complete engine replacement that thankfully was 100% warranty...

I have 35,000 miles that will roll over to the new engine from my current warranty. I will sell or trade in my truck at around 30-33k miles. Cant risk this happening again and coming out of pocket.

The dealership ordered one the day after the tow truck dropped it off. I called 3 days later and they said the new engine was ordered, was en route to the dealership and it would be ready in 2 weeks. Said it was a failed EGR and coolant got into the engine oil...the "common" problem for these...

I’m fully convinced now that every EcoDiesel has a premature expiration date... Mine is a 2015 that I bought new (only 18 miles) in April 2016

Engine is 100% stock. All I added to my truck was running boards, wheels and a leveling kit. It was overly well-maintained by myself and never driven hard. I wasn’t naive to these potential issues and did everything I could to make this truck last as long as it could.

Just had my '15 take a $hit on my at just over 83k miles. EGR issue...had it towed to the closest dealership and they called me this morning saying they ordered a new engine. I asked if it was the new gen 2 or the old gen 1, was told it's the gen 1 with the new EGR system. Has anyone had success...

WOW...so yeah...the engine is done. BUT...100% warranty covered! The dealership said they'll have my truck for probably 2 weeks. Ordered a new gen 1 engine with the new, improved EGR system.

I have 2 warranties still in place - my 100,000 mile extended from original purchase as well as the 120,000 power train that came with the class action settlement. I have just over 83k miles on mine. What do you “likely” think it is? Complete engine replacement?

I’ve been raving about my EcoDiesel for the past 4 years, posting about how flawless mine has been (for the most part), and genially optimistic that I bought a “good one”. Well...driving on the freeway today, 70-75 for about an hour and I suddenly hear a ticking sound with NO warning...one...

Just deposited mine in the bank today - $3,075

It's been 9-10 months since the first time I saw this code - I was fairly certain that my repair back then was solid.....until a week and a half ago. Code popped up, drove it to dealership and I left for a 2 week work trip - told my dealership to take their time to ensure it's fixed properly...

2015 bought new from dealer in April of 2016 (steal of a price being an "older" truck) Just got 50,000 miles on it Had the "electronic throttle control" message pop up around 25-30k - dealership fixed under warranty and said a boost sensor failed. No issues since replacing. Do my own oil...

Anyone found an aftermarket fuel door for their EcoDiesel? Id like to get one that locks and prefer black in color.

I have the Sinister Diesel fuel cap - I liked the unique look of this one over the others ive seen. https://sinisterdiesel.com/i-24088429-sinister-diesel-billet-fuel-plug-cap-for-2013-2017-dodge-ram-6-7-cummins-green.html
