    Ram 2022 catastrophic engine failure.

    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.

    Engine failure

    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.

    Intake manifold soot

    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.

    High Pressure Fuel Pump.

    It depends on the dealer, GO OUT is relative if the dealership declares it was contamination, you will be denied any type of compensation.

    2018 Ecodiesel that runs rough

    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...

    Fuel pressure Regulator

    Fuel pressure Regulator

    FCA Fuel control actuator, it has the same meaning as FPR. If debris is found (Metal) you will need to replace or clean everything form fuel tank to Injectors...$$$$. If no debris found its likely your electronic LV. VM 3.0 is not the power plant to own if you're NOT (HPCR) Diesel seasoned, It's...

    Fuel pressure Regulator

    The FCA is easily accessible takes about 5 minutes, You need to remove and inspect the FCA, that code at times is triggered by contamination (Metal) just prior to the CP4 Grenades itself $$$$$

    EGR question - stupidly simple solution?

    That worked until thermo-couplers are used to detect the EGR exhaust temps. VM 3.0 has one just after ERG Valve, thus when the Temps don't measure up, then it triggers codes CEL.

    Don't know what to do

    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.

    New to the EcoDiesel community

    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.

    Incorrect Def

    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.

    Incorrect Def

    OK... just say close to 22%....... Did you get the self destruct code or rationale code?
