    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    Considering that is the only one on the ecodiesel yeah probably.

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    @renewal101 @01TwoForty you are right the "oil cooler" is only a heat sink that is moreso an oil warmer to get oil to efficient operating temps but it does virtually no good to actually cool the engine temp only capable of bringing it to coolant temp. If you look near the oil filter there is a...

    just wondering how often the fuel filter needs changed?

    A fuel Filters life is extended by simply draining it into a bucket. A gallon ice cream pail or the bottom half of a washer fluid or other frequently used gallon size jug sits perfectly on top of the drive shaft to catch any spillage. The factory drain plug takes a long time to drain. It vapor...

    2016 eco and no heat

    I've seen -35 below and the only issues I have is the blower not quite keeping up with defrosting the windows if there's too many people in the truck. But then again I've had a winter cover on at least partial since it's been 60°F and dwindling. I do know that if your climate control is on Auto...

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    I've heard of the throttle control. Maybe just a nox sensor for the exhaust. It's not been cold enough to really foul anything in the DEF system except maybe the injector is just plugged

    What exterior accessories have you added?

    You do get quite a bit of room to alter and Work with the quad reflectors. The factory projectors are super tight. I've managed to squeeze my ballasts and ignitors into the housing though and it's clean. All I have is two short wires coming from the seam of the rear cover for my HID power input...

    High idle?

    That's not GDE that's ram factory. It idles higher when the fluid is cold. There is a high idle switch available after market. It's compatible for the ecodiesel but designed for the Cummins. Regardless it's just plug and play on the rams fly by wire. But it runs almost 200$ but has many high...

    Most miles on a EcoDiesel

    @seiko you just stated in another Post for Fleet operators 350 hours to an oil change and at 25 miles/hour of wear that's 8750 miles. So not seriously that much of an increase over driving. @55MPH you'd put on 180 hours/10,000mi. Calculate 10,000/350hr it's ~28mi. But 350 hours Max on oil is...

    Pretty impressive indeed

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    He's not questioning oil cooler failure @renewal101 he's Canadian and referencing the intercooler icing up which is another problem ecodiesel's particularly ones in cold climate have experienced. Which is something that actually resulted in a FCA recall.

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    So they claim to have extended the thermal shutters to cover the ENTIRE radiator on the 2016 models? That's news to me..

    2014 ecodiesel. Motor blew.

    As much as a root cause and analysis would be great; I'd be a happy camper just to have the truck back and driving just as you seem to be. And surprisingly you had a great turn around time

    2014 ecodiesel. Motor blew.

    Unfortunately the way it works is once it's replaced and shipped off it's out of sight and therefore out of mind and he likely will never hear anything from the dealer.

    Who's running a tune

    Well just because one can does not mean they should run 3000+ rpms and pull up a long grade trying to maintain a speed that's not necessary and overwhelming the truck. It's entirely driving habits that are pushing the high egt's that you see. If you don't like them or want to see it that high...

    "Emergency Regen"=Record Time

    It's completely associated with driving habits. And as Shawn's videos have shown if you've ever watched them in detail regen's do tend to happen at the worst time and do not always complete as it will be starting right as you're coming off the highway etc. I have my ecodiesel for multiple...

    2014 ecodiesel. Motor blew.

    Wow that is beyond anything that I can find words for. A mechanic doesn't take a phone or coat with him on a test drive; experiences engine failure; and then essentially says F***It and proceeds to run your truck into the ground. I absolutely cannot believe that happened. That's low even for...

    "Emergency Regen"=Record Time

    That may be so but if you're ever in the situation that you see the evic messages for forced regen it can be done an running at 1800+rpms. The factory high idle in the Cummins does not run that high. So it does not matter. But it's used for warm up times and pto. But BD power DOES have an...

    "Emergency Regen"=Record Time

    So thinking this moreover; I don't think ghost tuning could do anything for us with that. Because it is an integrated feature with the truck already for the Cummins to use the cruise as a high idle. And all RAM's including the Cummins are drive by wire; so it's actually nothing that can be...

    "Emergency Regen"=Record Time

    @moparecodiesel can Celtic tune in a high idle like how the Cummins functions? Where you use the cruise buttons while parked to kick up rpms for auxiliary units? If we could optionally idle to 2k rpms we could actually have the option to do a regen anytime you wanted really. Just have it on a...
