Biodiesel, outside of the water pump all trucks will have suspension repairs. It's the Major engines costs that are coming will tip the scales, Heck gas vehicles at 100K $350.00 in new spark Plugs, run another 100K and replace again. One Injector cost $250.00 for the 3.0VM. Long term ownership...
Regardless of what people say Now, in theory It should be a bomb, The hottest and rotates the fastest part on any engine that has a turbo is the turbo, 3 holes per turbo will increase the longevity of both, plus the performance advantage. I'm concerned about the lube thou.... You won't see be...
It's just too late for some, they just cannot reason correctly. Stop buying the 3.0VM, when the Hurricane motor starts production the VM 3.0 will Stop production ( if not sooner ), then all 3.0VM will be taking massive $$$$$ looses. I hope Boost starts/open a Hurricane forum ASAP, get a jump...
VM 3.0s are either Hero's or Zero's It simply the Design IMO, We build some serious power plants with HP up 4000, and none are bed plate. It may make it stronger but if it squirms or lifts its only time begore it pukes, this is Just one of the reasons they puke. Eventually production will cease...
With the same rate/risk of failure in the replacement Motor. When the New one installed OAs from Day 1 it's the only possible way/warning of impending failure, OAs need trends to be accurately used.
Anyone that Purchases Ram VM 3.0 after 2016 makes a bone head move, that engine was failing at rates of a 100 to 250 Per week From Jan 1 2016 to DEC 2016 and the power plant still puking in 2022. Geez, it's been 6 years take the blinders off.
Master Mechanic that's NOT a fuel expert....It will be interesting what pump Stallentis uses, The in tank Pump that's in all Ram 1500s won't be capable for any CP3 GP, and it won't certainly be any Cummins versions. Plus there are close to 1 million Ford 6.7L using the same CP4 as the VM 3.0...
That pump is available at $550.00 and takes less than 1 hrs to Install. The Used Lube good for rotating surfaces, but over time it will create more Ash in The SCR, now of course if the SCR is missing its not a problem.
HOAT and OAT is good for 10 Years or 150K miles, just flush it and replace. I've seen power plants with 800K miles or 12000 hrs with passage that were clean.
