Fill cold and mark the level then drive until warmed up and mark the Hot level and keep an eye on it, Do You have OAs? if the sodium is high or getting higher, or .01 or higher Antifreeze % , Trade it in.
Some owners I've talk too related that the the engine develop a surge or pulsating at start, would diminish as you drove, This leads Me in believing the valve(s) were warped just prior to the Fire. The turbo and leaking oil is another common fire starter.
There has been decommissioned AECD...
The EGR is is only 1 of 4 causes of the fires , They are Turbo, Plenum, electrical, EGR, the majority of fires in My investigation are Plenum related due to soot accumulations and Valve warping, this causes the Flame to enter the intake after the combustion Stroke. Melt the plenum and ignite.
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.
Joe, I myself Do crash and fire Investigations, Although ONLY on Commercial/Hazmat Crashes / incidents
I have 100s of 3.0VM Fires/ pictures, I also Public posted that the Update would NOT stop the ALL the fire's
Joe ,I will Share this with You, most 3.0VM owners Turn a blind eye to all of the...
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).
All API certified DEF is 33% Urea and 67% Deionized Water.
By Alfa and MX OBD2 the Yellow one and You can re-set the DEF Gauge yourself, Since you have 2020 You will need the Bypass module for the SGM (Secure gateway Module) to enter the programing and clearing of Codes.
If you plan on keeping...
OK... If the Gauge reads empty it will not start, Your dealer is incompetent, The Pump is not the problem, Did the dealer reset the DEF gauge?
DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THE CLAIM OF RUNNING YOUR DEF TANK LOW AND REFILL. DEF gauges are all over the place when allowed to near empty, at just...
DEF pumps rarely fail.
When they do its related to the Urea in the DEF Mixture 33/67, Unfortunately your 2020 has Quality Sensor and not the common sensor 2014-19. Those 2014-19 May/use Distilled water. 1000s have been doing that in other models. That being said Your sensor triggered at 22% so...
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.
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.
When filling DEF Tank (-0) with Plastic bottles it’s possible to freeze the fill tube solid.
Do NOT over fill Tank, Again the Tube can freeze Solid when idle for even a short period of time in -0 Temps.
What’s happening with towing in -0 temps its possible to use 1 Gallon Per 200-250 miles...
The only protection for owners from financial ruin are OA Trends, The Analysis during the trends will disclose weather you have a Hero or Zero.
If you do not decommission the AECD the longer the ownership the likely hood of increased parts failure to complete failure.
