Depending on what circuit/port, yes its important, if its the return port from the exchanger it regulates the OIL PSI. the exchange have failed on the 3.0s if it does the Coolant pressure will be higher then the Oil PSI you will have coolant in your lube and coolant and lube with High CAL will...
Mesatone , I was a big supporter of T-6 Rotella, Until the additive package change, I contacted Shell they Claim Blackstone analysis is incorrect, Blackstone Labs have checked difference Lubes before T-6 and after and the process detected, Both Moly, Mag, and CAL at correct levels, Shell Claims...
Black bottle or gold bottle? Because Black bottle is not, and Gold bottle is, I hope you have receipts to prove the lube used.
That being said it was NOT the Lube that caused the failure, What's the excuse for the 10,000+ 3.0s that used the correct cert?
Castby, Many 2018-19s are relabeled 2017-18s, FCA Manufacture 1000s of them that could NOT be sold do to the EPA Lawsuit, I have VIN# for 2017 that Customers Ordered and could NOT take Possession due to the Lawsuit, only to find these VIN#s sold as 2018-19.
Just check You door For MFG Date, 5...
UGA40, I would check out Ram Gasser, The 8HP Trans plus the 5.7/3.6 has Ford beat, the Limited smokes Fords 1500 in every category, Plus Ram's have Air ride Option, That Option alone in My use disqualifies Ford/GM.
The New Cab with its new anti-corrosion materials should equal Fords Aluminum...
UGA40, You will need to log your own data. It would next to impossible for some to habitually Drive the same as You. That being said this engine cannot be equal to the new Technology coming, In HEAD EGR (No external EGR..2020+ have two external EGRs) NO DPF, NO VGT Turbo. DSL's of the future...
No, the 2014-16 Engine is NO longer in production, The Block and Heads, Fuel system are the same the majority of other parts are not, all of the electronics are difference.
I'm out, good luck with whatever you decide.
The emission intact Tunes use the EGR, I don't see How GDE could defeat this device (AECD) and pass certification, New technology removes the EGR Device entirely, The 3.0VM obviously cannot , because in 2020+VM has 2 ERG's on the truck. FPT has EGR less Engines so Fiat Has the technology. Now...
I tip My hat to You WeGo. Heck you can trade it in on another 3.0VM, If thats what you want (Not recommending that but some deals are worth the Risk) I checked some Dealerships Offer $100.00/250.00 DED on lifetime powertrain warranty for $250/500.
Heck, you can stack pressure Box's with Tunes. My guess it would play nice with GDE tunes, Plus the added power , If You Do YOU had better upgraded your foot, stacking can lead to trouble on Turbo/Trans.
C'mon Shadow I agree with you on the surface, Now look at it this way, All CC transactions have buyer protection, regardless of the seller policy UNLESS the buyers agrees to wavier of card Holders Rights, WE TC DSL, Do NOT sell race Parts without the buyer agreeing to those terms, its unlikely...
WeGo, Its never easy reversing a decision you made, But Wisdom Dictates when its Time to cut Ties if you do that the losses can be measured , if you don't the risked is increased and so are the losses.
I obviously don't have the details on your purchase, I only ask for you to consider your...
