IMO service records (VM 3.0) have No value Unless accompanied by OAs

If it does not come with OAs I would move on, Pay $$$$$ and if it pukes up are so upside down, its just to risky. 3,700 Total Thats 44 MPH Avg +900 Idle NO way, the engines on its down side for Life and will cost $$$$ in future repairs.

Rizzr4. its Fiat VM that's the problem, Ram is not.... Ram Wanted Fiat to not bring VM 3.0 to N/A, but Fiat did it anyways.... I hope this additional failure does not hurt beyond the $$$$. My guess the 2022/23 will be the last Year for 1/2 Ton DSL Rams and VM.

Rizza54, its common knowledge that the VM 3.0 is Hero or Zero Status. It's NOT worth the risk to buy another...IMO..There are 1000s of 2014-18 Ram VM3.0 pickups on 3Rd Motor. The only reason 2020-22 Ram VM 3.0 frequency of failures are not posting is the sells #s is rock bottom... Even more...

It's the risk you take when buying products... it's well known this engine in many cases is problematic. Take this to heart, weed out all the cheerleaders and sponsors you will find the truth. Never and I mean never believe this statement that the greater majority only post the sort comings of...

That was the OEM OP 2014-16, VM and Bosch scabbling to stop the hemorrhaging VIA OP, it failed, nothing could overcome the QC at VM cento Italy. Like I mentioned before the absolute requirement by most Powerplant makers is 1 Per 1000 for rotating mass failure rate, most hit 1 Per 3000s...

OA Oil analysis....

Did your seller disclose its Ogrins were Canada? Depending on the state laws If it was not disclosed you may have some to recourse to the seller. No , you won't win.. many have tried on OEM warranty, out of selling country warranty.

Chruch, the VM3.0 is Hero or Zero Status. Now 106 Miles or Kilometers , 106 and needing turbo replacement likely means New Plenum. I would Not consider any 3.0 W/O OAs Trends, Just to risky.

At Times WITECH is the only tool to remove messages, Did you try and reset the DPF settings. Likely you will need to do 2+ More stationary de-soot if the smell is that bad , keep doing them until the smell is gone, You may have to drive it a couple of miles between Stationary de-soot to reset...

Cindy what's up with the warranty?

Cgcnj7, Your just another victim, The VM 3.0 Are Hero/Zero Engines, VM has been plague with QC issues for Years. Cento Italy is where your problem originated. Back in 2015-16 the Engine had failure rates of 10% Thats beyond shocking into todays Ratio's. of 1 Per 1000 minimum, Most power plant...
