Thiers's a famous saying, things don't start good, they don't end good, I hope it does not apply in this case.

Ok.. I don't have the time right now to explain them ,Hopefully later today or tomorrow.

No.... Using the wrong will increase wear, It will NOT Puke your VM 3.0...Valvoline OK lube , T6 additive package is more suited for ICD. FCA followed My recommendation...I advertise to switch over Back in 2015....No the R/D at FCA saw My posted results, They did NOT have the time to R/R...

Yep , the 3.0 Caked Valve warping, detonation.

Hmmmmmm, Their some question on the plenum being covered ,Plus Waaaaaaaaay to much unknowns for guarantee for reimbursement. The settlement repairs are being covered under the Agreements service contract, its has NO to relationship to recalls or extended warranty. I wouldn't be celebrating...

They tell every owner the same thing, Your welcome to call the Number above any time , I will help out and you can report the results back to this forum.

Its need Stationary De-sooting, and requires someone that Knows what their doing...I hope Boostn don't delete this but I've done probably over 100 and its resolve its 100% of the time, 1-3hr of time and cost about $200.00. Kimberly You need to get this truck to the AEM $$$ and this will be...

SEC, combinations of sooty intake Diffuser tube, Plenum, MAP, and DPF. its effects almost all VM3.0s at some point..

Yep...It will require stationary ash/de-sooting, its unlikely the dealer will spend the time to correct it properly...it will just return in the future... How many miles on the truck?

Don't use the word recall, Because its NOT, and it will confuse and slow down the (Possible) covered repair.

It is covered in the Settlement, Its My understanding the AEM Settlement repair will be covered under service contract, its NOT an extension of the new vehicle warranty... The coolant will disappear in various ways , 1st it leaks onto the exhaust manifold and evaporates, 2nd it leaks internally...

R/R 8-10Hrs.

With that mileage cleaning the Diffuser- tube and map may help until the EGR/Plenum is replaced, if the cake soot is moist thats a sure sign the EGR is leaking. Look into the plenum and if it looks like this.

Do you have any type of maintenance records for the 3.0? Something like this goes a Long ways with FCA.

x2 CS Alabama, I want to add , FCA must get the QC fixed at Cento Italy...FCA has put a tight lid on the failures, this dark cloud over the VM 3.0 will not be lifted until FCA makes public disclosure to fix the shorting comings of this Diesel Power plant. Modern technogly should/make rotating...

OP, YOU ,Have some maintenance 1st Like trans, Intake, and take to someone that can Stationary De-soot the Exhaust, Then decide how to go about the AEM Settlement. Tuning way's out plus the $$$, but you will need to defeat certain operations in order for it to survive. This is not the Diesel...

With the VM3.0 Some good , Some Bad and Some ugly...Right now with the quagmire of trouble its just risky, willing to take the risk has benefits and looses.

Yep... if this engine has any chance of survival it needs to be castrate form the butt to intake , how long would you survive if you had a hose from butt to mouth?. the EGR/SCR is horribly inadequate on the 3.0. And if the EPA claims that the EGR is required to meet COC, than turn around and...

Tread, IMO Yes, that being said its Hero-Zero status, The EGR plenum/EGR on daily used 3.0s is goona fail , I foamed and cleaned My Plenum every 10K miles, The EGR stated to leak Both internally/externally and the plenum swirl Vales started to stick and needed replacing at 43K+- miles. Yes the...

It will be years before We get into one 2020+....FCA now keeps the lid on Failures, the one's siting around and NOT covered By FCA are either in ligations or the Owner cannot afford to replace at this time.
