    VM Motori Drops 3.0 Ecodiesel media Campaign.

    Its was the Joint Venture with GM that created the 630/3.0. One has to ask WHY GM, Detroit Penske believed that VM 3.0 was road worthy why Sell. IMO Ocaam's razor applies here, "the simplest solution is most likely the right one" Its a good Business move to dump the 630 ASAP, FPT already...

    EGR Question

    I see your point, With My WITECH , I monitored that thermocouple pass the EGR Vale and Exchanger with infrared gun, it was still 200-300F. The bypass valve does NOT stop the Heat/Gases. I even cap the Plenum and made My own tube from EGR Valve to atmosphere. It still triggered rationale...

IMO your adding heat/stress to the exchanger increasing your risk of failure, Coolant leak. Yes its close during Active / Stationary Regens, The...

    EGR Question

    I also partially block My EGR, again it did very little in stopping the copious amounts of Exhaust gases the 3.0VM ED produces, its simply the most soot producing small engine I have ever encountered. If you want to block the Tube its 9/32 size hole, even 1/4 sized triggered rationale code...

    EGR Question

    Unplugging the bypass does little as suggested., It will trigger rationale code form Time to time happens more often in warm summer months. I ran the bypass unplugged for 14 months. Its a bypass it will NOT close entirely. Just leave it plug in and save yourself the hassle.

    hello

    I would not describe the inherited risk the VM3.0 presents as Fun. I need to ask, any research before Purchase. The 6.7 first year release is no where near the problems the VM3.0 presents.

    P249c can anyone help me with a fix??

    Yes, It will consume 1 Gallon Per 500-600+ Miles Driving, Some drop all at once , so if you Drove 3000 KM my guess you can add 2 Gallons, I would wait until it move to 3/4 and add 2.5 Gallons, Watch out....Don't go months without adding, Some drive 4/5K Miles than the gauge drops to empty than...

    Poor DEF Quality?

    Yep, it sadden Me and anger Me at the same Time, When I spoke to him over the Phone I could tell he was somewhat hurt by the a handful of Mods at 1500diesel.com. I condemn those Mods back then just as much as I do Now. When you Darn well know or should know that your elevated statement(S) /...

    The 3.0 does well in HWY use, Use Gas vehicles if possible for Grocery getting. Don't dart drive, Dart driving creates additional soot which will find its way into the Plenum, remove all the sound foam and Pump cover on CP4. Keep Your fuel and DEF tank Full when convenient, and if you want to...
