Do you have any proof, other than what someone tells YOU. I removed My engine May 2015 and found 2 undersized Bearings, I also found it interesting that VM had the exact size bearings I needed. My 1st OA confirmed this. By the way I build engines and when they fail, we look into why, and its...

Its not bearing design or journal size that causing VM 3.0 to fail...it the QC,plus the bottom end assembly. LMBO the few thou they added Won't correct or change the failure ratio....You are either going to have Hero or Zero Rotating assembly.

What improvements? its the same rotating mass... The AECDs VM added in 2020 were Dropped by Cat, Cummins, Detroit, ETC Years back. VM is just pushing the Failures beyond Warranty/ Liability to Stellantis. That extra Hardware will fool many nose sniffers, The informed Diesel enthusiast will say...

Your SOL...and to add your second motor has the same risk for rotating mass failure. You simply increase your rate of failure buy your DD use. You now join the 10K+ 3.0 failures related to Rotating mass QC.

I been running that in all My DSL 2013-17, You need to be cautious on some 2017s for some trucks are equip with quality sensor trigger to 22% Urea all 2018s have the QS, so 1 Gallon DS to every 2.5 Gallons DEF is about 24% problem free, Thats a big drop that both the DEF pump/Injector life...

Kgmaine, I hear Ya, Just Pointing out What someone tells you or You read is generally not factual, its someone's opinion. You read some of My forecast back in 2015 I clearly stated the vehicle is in non-compliance of CAA, the engine failures will continue Etc, Yet all I have received from the...

Kgmaine, CR reports LMBO ,I counted 2 lies in your link....... Details My *&^(. Plus most VM3.0 owners have no Idea what CP4 ,CP3, CP1 ,CP6 etc. IMO the CP4 is at the bottom of VM 3.0 failures.

Kgmaine, Why the recall is happening on Cummins Ram 6.7 is not documented to know failures....It simply may be related to Cummins Spec's, unlike VM when over 1000+ engines were failing monthly in mid 2016. VM just kept production levels unchanged.

Kgmaine, I do agree to pass on the VM3.0, the truck is fine its VM3.0 that crushes Rams DSL. With gas being $.0.30-0.40 less cost around here Thier's no saving in 1/2 DSL Ford has already dropped its 1/2 ton DSL, GM likely to change the Suspended 1/2 ton to stopped production. If you put 50K...

This is clearly overstated........don't ever compared the VM3.0 problems to Cummins. Nothing blows apart in the fuel tank of either vehicle. I have CP4s with 500+K miles....Yes I don't care for the CP4, but I'm not going to apply C19 propaganda to CP4s problems.

Depends on where You live, Here in MN the Fuel good to -40F Retail DEC/JAN.

In many cases it will eventually trigger some type of code relating rationale, you may be able to delete the code, but its only time before its triggered again, how many times before it starts the countdown to derated power I don't know.

John, I hear Ya. But its only Time before the EPA serves SFT Judicial Notice, So, look for someone with emission intact Tuning, I suggest doing it quickly.

DEF Pump vacuum, to stop the line from freezing.

Augiedoggy, I would like to add we need the Manpower for it Also, We have engines coming in each day, plus our commercial business is overwhelmed. Parts availability is shocking on the VM3.0 due to its origin of overseas.

We did look at this, Just not enough Market, we are Months out already on certain Builds, so in addition No time to do the engineering and setup.

Tom it's a common problem, if ignored the Engine Bay may catch on Fire.

The 5.0 is just to Big for 1500, Also it was V8, 4.3L can be inline 6 and still fit in Ram current engine compartment.

See My point, if the 3.0VM stops production it will get even more ugly for 3.0VM owners. Simply stated, it requires new Power plant like 4.3L that will work in light 2500 and 1500 Models. My stand on 2500 the 6.7 Cummins is just too Big for 2500 the Cost vs Mileage just does not pencil.
