I have never seen or heard of the crank survive the puking....its likely the cam bearings and other rotating surfaces did not survive either. Once that worthless by-pass opened when the filter became plugged the debris was pump thru-out the engine.

The coolant mixes with the soot and becomes corrosive, it will even destroy valves, sensors, couplers , eventually ignites and sets the plastic plenum a blames.

NO............ it will plug 100% shut.

I would never recommend any Pulling over 7000+, I've done it, in fact I move machines in excess of 250-500K.. The Question is should you do it, Maybe in perfect conditions at speed below 65MPH, Here' My wagon at 7500LBS I pulled it 1 time on snow packed road... That was the only time. I also...

If the shop knows what their doing ( and been around for sometime) has lifetime warranty on the work, no need to worry.

Distilled (DS) water will out live deionized water, and is readily available. I left 1 Gallon of DS sit for 5 years in the shop I used back in 2018 problem free. Each process has unique values, DI cost less and processing is much faster, IMO that's why DI is used in Retail DEF.

More details....The Message is generally couple with city driving and short trips, that plug the map sensor.

The EGR replacement will only slow down the rate of fires, The longer you own Time, and the more miles (More soot) into the plenum the greater the risk of fire. the mixing of coolant and soot is only speeding up plenum melting and failure = Fires.

Remove Defuser tube and check, prepare yourself for the most cake on Soot you ever seen in your life.

Its FPT (Fiat Power Technology) I have look all over for the other side, It has the exhaust, Intake and turbo all on that side, look how the cooling works, I've never seen that before on 6 Bore.

Rockyvan, Who was driving to give such a vague description. My guess is its lockup and done ,you will be joining the 10,000+ puked 3.0VMs.

Naaa, if it rotating mass failure, it won't heal.....Carry on.

More details? You mean the Message to operated at HWY speeds until completed? or the countdown.

MartyLeonard1987, I here Ya on the 3.0VM Black Cloud....You had 5 years of problematic History 👎. The risk in owning the 630/3.0 that is sold on America's soil is Equal to China handling of Corona. Its 2020, ashamed is NOT part of the America's Educational process in Public education or its...

No surprise to me on the Failure, There are million of Pumps with same design no problems, if its correctly TQ it will not come loose, That being said its easily removed and can remove the CP4 and check the TQ on Both Cam and Shaft. How do you know your engine with the victim of cam gear...

Its a long and lengthy process, At Times the Dealership will step up, Buts that's all contingent on the relationship of Owner and Dealer.

Hope is no longer an option with VM Motori. So yes you were wrong. Jonathan what's you're plan on the future, Your replacement will carry the same risk. Push FCA to buy back or added warranty, its hideous that owners should be subject to such complacencies. Other site's, specially one is...
