Nothing wrong with that, beautiful piece of metal it is, but tack on labor to bolt to to the Turbo, and then find a confident stainless steel welder to finish everything up, and let me know where you end up for cost?

Well it's mopar named and recommended for the ecodiesel since changing to 5w40 in the new owners manual revision. Basically (please forgive the loose term, I'm sure someone will criticize it) any diesel rated CJ4 full synthetic is "good"

If suggested retail price of the engine is $2,993.30 who the fuck cares? That's the cheapest light duty diesel out of the crate you'll find. I can imagine 4cyl going for more. Compare that price to the alleged Cummins part number at $8,428? Total engine failure out of Warranty, $3k brand new...

Offroad tune runs what 800$? And yeah a Turbo to Center pipe mandrel bent stainless (the proper way to delete) is 1k+

Aaannnddd that's 1k tune and 1k exhaust work, the guy is trying to avoid the 3,000$ Shop Bill?

Emissions Warranty does run a bit longer, see if it's covered under that?

I have tried slowing down and extended driving at lower speeds, somewhere around 63 where the Aero kicks in or slightly lower after that, I've pulled over 700 miles on an entire tank rounding out with 29-30MPG but some metro driving, an hour or two idling, and 1500# or more payload the return...

Yeah that's normal temperatures under load in my observations. Not necessarily towing, but extended grade driving at speed, or general heavy footed driving. While ambient temperatures are 70+, general summer conditions. I don't think I'd be bothered unless I saw the 260 mark. At that point...

Saw some cool power numbers from the 1994 dodge ad!! I guess if you Couple this new engine with a 4 speed and it's a certified 3/4 or 1 ton!

Yeah your truck is almost identical to mine aside from 10mm Tire width

@KWC did you make a call on what tires you're going with? As boost said the bfg are popular and available in factory sizes, otherwise going to an lt Tire gives you tons of options depending how aggressive you want. I'm a cooper guy, at3's are alright but noisy later in life when they cup, I have...

I was gonna say that's a mighty tall Tire for only a 2" leveling kit, I run the 275/65 there's almost any Tire you can imagine and it fits the factory setup. Beats the heck out of the passenger tires!

285/75 20?????

Holy shit, good call getting the wife and kids out immediately, that is a very scary situation. Oddly enough vehicle fires on fairly new vehicles are not that rare across all model ranges so I wouldn't point my finger at anything specific with the engine persay but a generic part failure or...

It Used to be 190$ dealer oil change so I'd go for the 100$ I clock in somewhere around 60-90 depending on oil and I don't use the mopar filter

I do my oil changes with 2.5gal diesel jugs and I put my truck in OR1 or on the edge of the driveway a little bit so I'm at the perfect (~1") height to the container have a clean drain into it, and 2.5gal jug goes back in, and keep the empty one in the garage for next time. Perfect oil...

This thread seems to be a never ending battle but it's a good reference for guys, thanks @BoostN !

Others coming from the same person... idk. You can message him directly if you want him to shine some light on everything he sees necessary with the engine. Not a very positive or confident person right there

Buy yourself an EZ drain valve, you'll appreciate how simple crawling under the truck without any tools it becomes. And mid drain stops are no mess either!
