    Joe, You need a fire Truck, One owner had two EXTINUISHERS and garden hose, He was lucky it did NOT burn down his House. He had just enough Time to back it out of the Garage before the electronic shifter lock up in Park. Once The Fire burns up the wiring it defaults to Lock/Park.

    Catastropic

    Fiat has treated Canadian owners unfairly IMO, You should be covered on the AEM 4/48. Stand your ground Keep all Your receipts, Document everything, Keep a log on Dates and Times, that will prove extremely important to recover your looses on the Recall if CA is included.

    Its NOT Ram, Its Fiat/VM. Are you aware the engine is manufactured in Cento Italy? $100.00 WOW, its $12.00 filter from many Sellers. Surprises await you. Did you do any research on the VM3.0 its plagued with short comings. The only somewhat aid is decommission (AECD).

    It may be gelled up, Its unlikely at 9F, Clear #2 in America is refined to 0F. its a 2020 So I would seek Warranty. That being said I would check the drop sheets at Station(s) you fuel at, I Checked Most MT, ND, MN, WI and all stations drop sheets clear# 2 cloud -32F and pour at -40.

    Is service department.....tacking on unnecessary maintenance?

    NO, You cannot clean HPCR systems. Front Diff No , Rear Diff Yes just to get the factory lube out, Change yourself with better lube. TC not until 50K miles. LMBO at Brake service, not until 8/10 Years.

    Anyone had their ecodiesel catch on fire

    YEP, My 2019 limited Vs 2015 Laramie 3.0VM is now $28.00 a month Less cost according to My Insurance agent, He claims its one of the most expensive 1/2 Tons to Insure. That alone eats up all the saving in fuel cost the 3.0VM once had.

    Their are millions of 5/20w engines (Gas) running just fine into the 200K+ miles Yes, its not the Spec Lube, but even a 3.0VM on a steady diet of 5/20w should not puke itself to death before 200K miles. The reason 3.0VM puke are 1. QC, 2. its designed for 3200Lbs Euro cars not 6200lbs Trucks...
