I was shooting at the outdoor range last week (100 + degrees), and my truck ran for about an hour straight while by buddies kids and lady stayed "cool". I'm not afraid to let it run, but I was 100+ miles from home, so I knew it would regen before getting back home in the "city".

Depends on what you use the truck for. If you need to haul heavy, a lot, then a Cummins is for you. The EcoDiesel is for the casual towing on the weekends (7K or less on average).. At this point I'm not sure I could say I'd pull 7K all day everyday and expect it to live. But, that's just my...

Looks good. I like the combo! Welcome to the forum. Search around the forum here for "tunes" and you'll get plenty of answers!

Let's hope manufactures never try to go that far. That would put a big dent in the aftermarket industry... Here's a nice article about that.. I hate the source, but it makes for a good read on a Sunday: http://jalopnik.com/carmakers-want-to-make-working-on-your-car-illegal-beca-1699132210

You're talking about an ECM Calibration? That's something that has to be done supervised and uninterrupted. It's a critical flashing process, and I highly doubt they would let the consumer manage this process with a simple over air update. So much could go wrong! Also, these trucks aren't...

Nice find! I honestly haven't heard of them improving MPG's, but keep us updated on the results.

Welcome. I would advise to read around on the forum to gather opinions and make your own judgement. For the code, all I can find is the DEF level is low...

Seems like a nice platform to use. I love how tuners can just push an updated tune to your device without having to mess with a laptop and email. The future is now.

How many miles? I'm assuming this is out of warranty?

PPEI or GDE are two that come to mind. They can get you fixed up.

I just moved the "buyback" posts to this thread: https://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/the-u-s-officially-sues-fca-over-ecodiesel-emissions.1385/ I'd like to focus on the failure with this thread, not "what ifs".

Most of the time, you get a certain amount of warranty with these places. Even if it's 90 days, it gives him time to trade it off .. a running ( and not knocking ) truck is going to bring a lot more money.

Check out Car-Part.com They sell parts from wrecks.. looks like they have a lot of complete engines.. ranges from 3000K to 8K. Example, this looks like a decent price.. If you could find a mechanic to do the swap you'd be in better shape than selling as is.. my opinion though. Good luck!

I understand completely! It's nice you have another vehicle to use while this one is down.. keep us updated on what happens. I'm afraid a blown motor EcoDiesel is going to bring less than you think..

So, what's your next step? Are you looking to swap out a new motor or?

I agree 100%.

You need to visually inspect it. The worst case you have a hole in the block, and I don't think that's happen yet to my knowledge. Most of the time its an internal failure and you have to tear it down to see.

Welcome Don!

Ahh man, sorry to hear that.. If the dealer won't help you out, I would try to find a pullout motor and pay a reputable diesel shop to swap them. I'm thinking it's got to be cheaper than a new engine and install at the dealership. Keep us updated.
