    Crankshaft Position Sensor Recall W-58

    Its probably will be added in the future, My guess is earlier built are failing at X rate and the Latter Years are NOT, Also Many 2018 and 19s are rebadged Trucks from 2017. Another thought is Maybe the Cam/Crank software was installed in Your 2017.

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    Yep, that's the correct method, Knowledge is everything when its couple with understanding. Even in this thread maybe its best if the 3.0VM stays home on long trips until VM comes up with a dependable fix. Back in 2016 I took My 3.0 to the Cabin in West Yellowstone in Aug, We stopped at...

    Biodiesel, I agree. I cannot accept or be a member of any organization, forum ,group that suppresses anyone's opinion. Example, 100s of current Ecodiesel Have call Me on possible Ownership, I discourage Buying do to the risk of ownership, Some have followed it others have NOT. Some that have...

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    The truth... I forecasted the VM 3.0 failures Years in advance, Certain Mods at the site can Call it whatever, Make false claims, Mislead their fellow Man in covering up, that site (some) mods are most anti-factual in My 40 Year business Career. I see them as haters, Yep agree with the...

    Sparkplugs and miscellaneous upgrades

    Glow plugs on the 3.0VM are generally corroded and unable to remove. This picture is someone who attempted to remove them and they broke off and the tips dropped and took out the engine.

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    John, That work both ways, I know of owners on 3rd & 4th Motors that have never type a single letter at any forum. Weather You believe the VM 3.0 % of problems out weigh its benefit, it Numbers are dropping , its only Time before Fiat Dumps VM for another power plant or The Diesel Ram 1/2...

    Recreational or flat towing behind motorhome

    The problem is the Truck will self-level, when in tow with battery connected, Even when you place the truck in Exist/Entry or any mode except transport. No thanks I leave My Air ride on its internal rubber stops when in tow. You are welcome to tow how you like...... W/WO Battery connected and...

    Preemptive engine work

    If the Shaft nut is TQ correctly its not necessary, DJ's in UT has the fix, Last I heard its required to bring the engine to them. If your that concerned you can remove the CP4 and Check the TQ on gears CP4 and Cam/Drive Bolt/Nut.

    Newbie needs advice

    I have 1500s, I sold my 2015 VM.30 and replace it with 2019 5.7 Limited, it out tows the VM 3.0 in city towing I used it in. At the GVW I would Buy 2500, I rarely tow with My 1500s, once you tow with more iron its more safer and enjoyable. The VM 3.0 has performed OK in HWY use , even...

    Recreational or flat towing behind motorhome

    I would disconnect the Battery before towing anyways, with doors unlocked, if you have air ride that need to be set at transport mode. If disconnecting in Your opinion is to much hassle buy and install disconnect ground switch.

    3.0L Eco Diesel vs. 5.7L Hemi

    In a lease theirs no advantage to the VM 3.0 Vs 5.7L the $3200.00 less cost in itself makes it unattractive Plus all the risk of AECD that are known to be problematic for the VM 3.0, The Eco has been removed form all of FCA and VM all campaigns it now call just a diesel for good reason. My...

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    I just don't believe what Ram Cares Says, its this simple its the Dealer that does the repair, Ram cares is NO more then a spokesman for Fiat, has has little to no control at the Dealer level. I do share your views on how screwed up things have become on the 3.0VM.

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    My Sources state You can opt out but... NO AEM warranty or repairs until CAA COC. Only the OEM warranty, My guess is if you wait and your tone Ring fails, and the New update is available you will get the new parts and flash, We are talking only 2014-16 3.0s? 2018+ are all CAA complaint. So...

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    Its no surprise.....the Powerplant is supplied by VM Cento Italy. All The R/D is done their then transmitted to the N/A Branch to implement and execute. That leaves a lot of speculation for interpretation.

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    I will the next time I open My Tech Authority Account, Fiat Charges for the time used today. If I was 25+ Years Younger I would open brick and Mortar Stores again, The whole darn repair Industry is lacking Skill and Knowledge. The Dealerships That I'm vested In takes Billions $$$, Some people...

    Crankshaft positioning sensor and Tone Ring Failure on Eco diesel.

    Its My understanding that Vehicle's that are NOT AEM 2014-16 certified cannot have any recalls performed, the reason being its against the Settlement to perform work on any non-Approved vehicle. Example: If AECD are decommissioned it violates the agreement, it would be liken to releasing a...

    Hello my name is Joe B. i purchased a 2018 ram 1500 Eco Diesel Laramie crew cab 4x4 5;7 box on February 19,2019

    2019s are exempt from the AEM, with the same flaws 2014-16, its likely your 2019 is just a re-flashed/Badged 2017.
