Since you are new to the diesel game, you may consider letting your dealer complete a Regen. That will give you time to learn the truck and how to plan/drive the truck to make sure regens are completed within a drive cycle. It needs to be at a specific engine temp and rpm for a specific amount...
I have seen the oil cooler plates that block off the water cooler to the filter housing. I am wondering if anyone has utilize one? Does it raise or lower the oil temperature by blocking the coolant flow to the oil cooler? I am considering blocking the transmission cooler as well. I rarely tow...
I was talking to my service writers at the local dealer I patron a few weeks ago. Ace and Krystle told me if I ever have to pay for repairs and then file for reimbursement that one of them would submit the invoices to FCA on my behalf because he knows what information they will require and how...
If your truck is set up factory like mine. It is a single exhaust with a y pipe behind the muffler. I'm not sure about mbrp products or larger pipes. Sorry I could not help further.
Well, I have pulled the tube out several times. It does build up a carbon layer on the walls quickly. I pulled the map sensor at the same time and clean it too. It really gets clogged up. Takes a T40 and 5 minutes. Unless it is completely clogged, I doubt it would clear a code, but anything is...
I had a leak on the the front timing cover. Dealership repaired it under warranty. Said it was fairly common. Probably the leak/drips you are seeing, but I have no idea about the oil lamp or knock. I would be curious to find your much needed answer.
Good question. I have thought the same with my '18, but I doubt it would work. I have seen the same thing in my Alfa. Sounded to good to be true, so I bought the GED tune.
In short, it is the worthless contraption bolted on the passenger side of the engine. It recirculates the spent exhaust back into the intake to be used again. So all the particles that should be coming out the tail pipe are getting into the engine oil.
Hello and welcome. Here is an older post of mine. Gives you my opinion. You will find others may vary as well. Thread 'VM Motori, oil, map, and GDE tune MPG' https://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/vm-motori-oil-map-and-gde-tune-mpg.6057/
Ok, guys get this. I threw a weight on a wheel. Stopped in for a tire rotation and balance and an opportunity to look under the truck. My dealer lets me give her a once-over while on the rack. It is a very small dealer where customers still come first. I was chatting with the diesel tech again...
Your experience is most reassuring. I'm on the fence with my ed. We hear about the negative experience most of the time when people complain but rarely when the news is positive.
I was just thinking. Your in California. My wife is from Redondo Beach. I played hell getting my truck to Regen while there. To much traffic. Sitting at an idle does not produce the environment needed. The rpm need to be, I think over 1500 for x number of minutes to activate the process. If it...
I cannot not remember how stock truck display filter stats, but I have the GDE turn and it tell me at 80, 90, and 100% and when the system is actively in a Regen cycle and when it is complete. I have two trucks. A Tacoma for commuting in town and the ED for longer trips 60+ miles down the turn...
