None of the attempts you mentioned 220 rocket would save the VM 3.0 destruction. I been promoting VM 3.0 is Hero - Zero Status... it simply too great of risk to own any VM 3.0.
OA Trends are mandatory on VM 3.0. additional filtration may prolong rotating mass failure. When that bed plate starts to squirm around impending destruction follows IMO. Thier are three different size main bearings match to block , Crank , bed plates , this requires absolute precision spec's...
Thats not bad for 210K Miles..I would replace the intake and carry-on . You obliviously drive your 3.0 properly... Roll into -it, less soot created + HWY Miles.
The dealership has No skilled VM 3.0 Techs, Your 1st mistake Buying one the worst Diesel powerplants in Decades IMO, VM 3.0 history is laden with problems, 2nd mistakes not asking if the Dealership has skilled Diesel tech familiar with VM 3.0 engine problem and history. My guess is you have a...

Is this used for DD? if so buy gas. It's a Hero/Zero engine, it will soon be completely out of production the value will drop and the cost of repairs will skyrocket in long term ownership.
You need Alfa and OBDII to place the vehicle in Stationary De-soot.. Did you do any research on VM 3.0 before purchase? IMO in DD use your problems will continue... this is NOT the engine to relied on for DD use..If you take this problem to dealer expect $2K+ bill.
It's a hyperbole, Some promote that using any other ratio than 33/67 the DEF system will self-destruct or the environment will cease to allow life to co-exist.
