DoneSouth..No, Not ignorant at all, The ignorant are the ones that have no clue or concern themselves with 6 Years of Failures, 4 billion in losses and the untold misery of 10,000s VM owners have suffered the last 7 Years. I just used another source that has an open mind that's intellectually...
2020-22 rate of failure is equal to 2014-19. The VM 3.0 sales continue to fall....2020 Plus are the same problems (Rotating Mass failure ) and will be more prevalent and costly as the 2024+ rolls around. https://cararac.com/blog/2022-ram-ecodiesel-problems.html
Its 50/50% if it's in the policy, Many Insurance Carriers (NOW) Only cover fuel contamination when it's related to vandalism. Just check/read Your policy.
Biodisesel Commercially refined Is the Best diesel you can put into your Tank. MN has 20% Mandatory May-Oct 3% the rest of the year, BD has come a Long ways in the last 15 Years.............
Biodiesel Nice report, If you have established trends that have the same results it's a Hero👍👍👍.
Nice to see Rotella started increasing the Zinc again, I would like to see the Moly at higher levels, but it had no effect on wear with this sample, How Many Miles on the lube?
Over the decades I've seen many puke engines most are competition under extreme RPMs and load, We spec our engines to the lube we recommend, it's that tight...or loose... You don't have cranks flexing for very long Hrs or miles. Before it pukes itself to death. I'm not going into details on My...
Augiedoogy ,I would agree But The Dealership I'm Patterned with has Associated Chev Dealer and after I contacted them and ask to see if LM2 3.0 could be ordered it stated pending. Thier was 3 LM3.0s available on the lot, they are NOT selling.
All Illegally operated. Biodiesel don't mislead members and readers...Its pertinent that the facts are NONE of those are OEM equip miles...I have no problem with those miles stating these are AECD non-compliant... NO EGR or Plenum can reach 200K miles without replacement in any 3.0VM .... I also...
Biodiesel That Pan will ONLY slow down the operating Temp Time ( Because of more fluid) Thats It..... Now to the 452K VM3.0 There Are NO VM3.0s that have made that mileage that are COC, only a few Illegally operated Eco 3.0VM made that Mark. The rest have had early retirement or $1000s in...
So... Did it come with Oil analysis Report like the attachment? If not your detail report means it only has not had repairs and it certainly means nothing about future repair(s)...
The question is Why it went into that mode......Its used vehicle with Bumper to Bumper.. What's the conditions...? Did you do any research on VM 3.0 prior to buying, the engine has a quagmire of issues.
You need Alfa and OBD II, Limp mode with no Message of DPF at What %.....? I would recommend if possible, returning and ask to buy back... refund. Why did you leave t Dealership with defective Truck?
Engine Puking is when the rotating assembly fails and pukes itself to death either by windowing the block or internally locking up. I develop the term Back in 2015 when 1000s of VM3.0 were failing yearly. I also forecasted it would continue for years, It also has reference to the few puke...
The 3.0VM has One oil temp sensor Live , 2014-19 Only have Oil pressure switch..., The oil temp switch sensor all the readings in EVIC Oil pressure are L-O-M and are programed readings. Thats why its Lie-O-meter.
2020+
Alfa Romeo OE 68283346AD - Engine Oil Pressure Switch...
Because people would be claiming the engine bad because of low oil pressure....Jolene you not putting in the stupid factor that XX% of N/A citizens unfortunately practice.
