I have spoke to more then a handful of 3.0VM on third Motor, My math calculations that 15,789 VM 3.0 have been shipped crated to NA. That's 2 per 10 failures relate to Rotating mass, this does NOT include all the fires for the engine was not needed.
YEP, My 2019 limited Vs 2015 Laramie 3.0VM is now $28.00 a month Less cost according to My Insurance agent, He claims its one of the most expensive 1/2 Tons to Insure. That alone eats up all the saving in fuel cost the 3.0VM once had.
Their are millions of 5/20w engines (Gas) running just fine into the 200K+ miles
Yes, its not the Spec Lube, but even a 3.0VM on a steady diet of 5/20w should not puke itself to death before 200K miles.
The reason 3.0VM puke are 1. QC, 2. its designed for 3200Lbs Euro cars not 6200lbs Trucks...
Remove the FCA and check for metal shavings or debris, Change fuel filter. If problem persist its likely the electronic PRV is malfunctioning.
THE CP4 is capable of producing enough fuel for 500HP FACTORY.
I'm just going to guess on this.
In 2019 Ram had the new Body style and the Classic,Hence they kept the classic body style so Fiat could dump the rest of the 2017 produce 3.0VM on NA soil...... If enough lawyers and 2018-19 owners get together it will be another scandal IMO for the 3.0VM Cento...
No, End of NOV 16 Fiat had to stop Selling 3.0VM 1500s. Their were already 1000s of ordered 3.0VM in transit, Plus you cannot stop production in just days it takes Months of stopping the production. The reason I know this, I have VIN#s back in 2017 from buyers that ordered and since Fiat could...
Jersey, their was NO production in 2018-19 ecodiesel, Fiat stored 2017 builds until after the AEM settlement, and label those trucks as 2018-19. The failures were well known 2014-16 unfortunately you believed lies.
I probably in your case, find a lawyer willing to take your case and Sue the...
Yes & No, YOU must check the Max operating Temp/Pressure Vs Running Temp pressure. Sure, it may take 350F but how long? that's why running Temp pressure is more important then Max Temp pressure in many cases.
Most likely means Timing change cover or front cover, it does not take 20hrs to replace valve cover gaskets, they are rubber wedge style and rarely ever leak.
You cannot change the line sheet / Sales code with Alfa, you may have place the vehicle outside of USA. theirs all kinds of settings in the BCM. you can simply re-set to factory in the options menu.
We have to change language and stop using Words like delete, it has come to My attention that some advertisers are dropping any site that promotes deactivating any AECDs. Mesat just call Me 763-228-7121
After decommissioning the system, leave the thermo-coupler operative, check to see if the tuner wants the bypass disconnected, its OK to disconnect the EGR valve.
2 Gallons check your lube level, that much loss = problems
You should spend some time researching when O.A.T / H.O.A.T mixes with lube that's loaded with CAL.
Deleting is not going to reserve the damage already done, Your future looms with complete engine failure like 10K other 3.0 Owners...
WHAT!!!!, Never heard of this, another reason not to Own/Buy VM products IMO.
Its just another delay. Not to mention how things get damage or disappear in Shipping, Warranty on VM products are beyond absurdity.
They seem to do well HWY/Deleted. That options not available to many.
In HWY Used Deleted then can make some high miles, That use should NOT be consider in DD, Vern use, is deceptive for the greater majority of Ecodiesel owners should be disregarded. Their are always exceptions to every rule...
