    Who's running a tune

    That's the thing, the Cummings has been around (antique) long enough with minimal changes it's finally requiring Chrysler to basically say "you don't need a banks chip or other tune; it has the power from factory. We were basically just screwing you with a lesser motor because you were going to...

    Anyone change their own oil?

    I run the champion syngold oil in mine. I got it from Auto anything. I purchased 4x6qts enough for 2 oil changes + a little. It was about 160$ shipped free and eBay oil filters from Auto parts super store. 3 for 30$ as Shawn does. Oil seems good. Haven't had it sampled though. Speaking in US...

    Anyone change their own oil?

    The filter is amazingly easy to change it's a cartridge style accessible from the top drivers side. Drip tray and everything it's great. The whole oil change is simple. Takes longer to dump 11 quarts of oil back into it than anything.

    News FCA Factory Detuning

    Stole this from myself from http://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/whos-running-a-tune.426/add-reply The issue with the factory tune is well FCA. they just stated with the 2016 press release that they intentionally detuned the Cummings so every year they can increase towing numbers without...

    News FCA Factory Detuning

    Thought I'd share this with everyone as I came across it a while back. In good old FCA dishonest style.

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    I'm much further from any of those locations but I know I'd consider it pending I was in the disaster situation that you are. But that's just me. I mean maybe they'd even be inclined to arrange shipping if they're seriously interested in learning about a new industry leading engine you know?

    Who's running a tune

    This is the video that Chrysler outright tells everyone that they detune trucks for YEARS

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    Yeah I completely completely understand your feelings there. (Also why I went across the state for a dealer with lifetime powertrain on lubricated parts) as I acknowledged it sucks that no one truly knows what they are doing with this engine to diagnose it for you without some new motor new...

    Who's running a tune

    The issue with the factory tune is well FCA. they just stated with the 2016 press release that they intentionally detuned the Cummings so every year they can increase towing numbers without actually Changing anything. No one wants to see the same numbers every year and I understand that as well...

    Must have option? I'm about to pull the trigger

    Also I agree that the light output on the factory projectors is, well, garbage. But it's a very good candidate for HID retrofit and it produces great light afterwards. No blinding stray light. It's a good quality focused beam with much greater intensity. You can actually see what's in front of...

    Engine Block Heater

    I'm Canada prairie kinda cold. Just state side. We usually see a few weeks of -30F or greater below zero. Everything is necessary. I've been considering installing the inline thermostat controlled canister style coolant heater with the circulation pump but I'm unsure if the excess heat and...

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    I wonder if a good diesel mechanical school Wyo tech or something would take a serious look at it. They've got equipment up the wazoo and everyone there is supposed to be training for the next Gen diesel engine. My opinion would be that 95% of the people there are going to be pre grads with a...

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    With the exception of that one injector being heavily fouled I think the rest are surprisingly clean for 148k miles and your 1000+ hours. There must be something else going on. It's unfortunate nobody knows anything about these engines particularly the Stealerships.

    How often do you see other ecodiesels??

    I've only seen 2 ED's since I got mine in may. Both I saw locally in my little rural town. One is a new pastor with a red Laramie and I saw another new white one still had 21 day tag but I've not seen it yet. I'm very observant and lots of new ram trucks but those are the only ED's I've seen...

    Must have option? I'm about to pull the trigger

    And that's a pretty good price, locally there was a Max steel Laramie with air suspension limited slip etc. It was loaded. I was in love with the truck when I went and drove it, I think the sticker was 56-58? I'm Polaris Industries so I also get the 1% under dealer invoice but beyond that they...

    Must have option? I'm about to pull the trigger

    A Actually I ordered and it was priced with available incentives from the order date. They only change that and give you current incentives upon delivery if they are better and lessen the cost. It saved me an extra $1,000
