    Warranty denied when particulate filter got full.

    I find it odd that it did NOT Active Regen According to your description prior to 100% full, I have to ask did you look at the EVIC? generally the first appearance is 70% than 80% and it dings.

    if we all have the problem...

    Boostn, Their has Not been a DSL ( On-Road) in the last 15 that does not have Lag due to TQMGT. Commercial DSL's are even worst, Because the Power those behemoth 13L+ can twist up even the most Robust DL you can turn. The 3.0 is not capable of destroying the DL behind it, That being said if you...

    if we all have the problem...

    DSL's inherit lag, couple with TQ management to stop owners form smashing up things like Garage Doors etc. If you want dart driving Buy gas. Its in most DSL's today. Buy aftermarket Transmission 3-D with lower stall and increase line pressure and tune, you will know why OEM's use TQMGT.

    Ecodiesel cooling issues

    Yes, the question is ,what's the relationship to cooling do modern day thermo- regulators have with Heating/Cooling problems? This engine (3.0) in extreme use will over heat, simply Put! pushed beyond its intended limits :( . It was designed to operate in 3200LBS Cars. Its ,Turbo, EGR...

    Rebuild or Long Block?

    No, the engine is manufactured in Cento Italy, With all the reliability problems connected to QC and the facts theirs's only about 160K made from 2014-19 Plus the AEM extension it just not worth the hassle to equal $$$$

    Rebuild or Long Block?

    I have never seen or heard of the crank survive the puking....its likely the cam bearings and other rotating surfaces did not survive either. Once that worthless by-pass opened when the filter became plugged the debris was pump thru-out the engine.

    Eco engine failure

    805jarhead, I tip My hat to you (y) , Their are many VM 3.0 owners on 2nd even 3rd Motor. I'm Shocked :(by the mind set of Many 3.0 Owners , that its OK as long as it covered by Fiat. Many Owners are the caused of the continuing Problems with the VM3.0 , They lower their expectations SO LOW...

    Turbo water coolant feed tube failure

    The coolant mixes with the soot and becomes corrosive, it will even destroy valves, sensors, couplers , eventually ignites and sets the plastic plenum a blames.

    JUST BOUGHT NEW RAM 1500 DIESEL.WONDERING HOW THEY TOW.

    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    If the shop knows what their doing ( and been around for sometime) has lifetime warranty on the work, no need to worry.

    Hey GTA CANUCKS I'm cheap but want quality. Here is what I've found.

    Distilled (DS) water will out live deionized water, and is readily available. I left 1 Gallon of DS sit for 5 years in the shop I used back in 2018 problem free. Each process has unique values, DI cost less and processing is much faster, IMO that's why DI is used in Retail DEF.

    OVER HEATING

    The EGR replacement will only slow down the rate of fires, The longer you own Time, and the more miles (More soot) into the plenum the greater the risk of fire. the mixing of coolant and soot is only speeding up plenum melting and failure = Fires.
