Pgaultsc69, I tip my hat to you, Its rare That I find Eco owners placing the failures were its Belongs Fiat/VM, Their are powers at FCA that wanted additional R/D on the 3.0 before it was brought to NA, Fiat in its misguided attempt to bring the 1/2 Dsl with the VM3.0 to NA has failed and cost...

If its under a safety re-call its NOT advisable to sell W/O legal notifications , wavier and disclosure , if you purchased the vehicle knowingly it as safety re-call required. Being the new owner you would NOT beware of the safety risk until weeks/months after ownership. At least that's MN...

Pgaultsc69, When did you buy it, if you purchased after the EGR re-call, it cannot be re-sold and certainly repaired until the fix is released. No 2014-19 all (Zero builds) suffer the same problems, form the same source VM Cento Italy.

I doubt Alfa is capable of reprograming Different ECM, You will need the Ing/Key Code and PIN #s. their will be most likely a VIN Mismatch. Once the modules detect changes NOT approved it will default to protection mode that's why it starts and Die's. Its best to re-write VIN and Reflash to...

When you remove the intake check the Valves for warping, I do not agree with the term fuel tubes, fuel lines would be the more appropriate term. The lines just need to be checked for mating surface imperfection(s), if none they can be reused .Make darn sure they are cleaned and store properly...

Shawnmowers, Myself and many others believe that FCA had 4 Years to correct the QC at VM Cento. Their are 4 Generations of Dodge Ram, Some consider the 2019+ to be 5thGen, I don't Not enough change for 5th, late 2020 early 2021 The New 6.7 will be out and considered 5th Gen. 1st Gen 1989 to...

Averia, 120.000 @ $450.00 =$54,000.000.00 Plus the EGR is AECD and requires certifying for the maker.

Its common place to update latest versions, No maker has any idea what will happen in large scale updates. We also do not know What the latest update changes, My guess it just re-maps the APPS to better manage shift and fueling patterns. Also the Courts Ordered FCA to monitor the AEM. To many...

The Engine was develop for GM Caddy sold in Europe, it was Joint venture GM/VM it was ready for production 2006, the Auto financial Bubble burst in 2008 and GM sold its ownership to Penske / Detroit, It change hands to Fait bought ownership of VM and eventually took complete ownership in late...

WOW, that's a surprise. Its common place to have updates addressing Software, and just think People consider Dealership Service dept knowledgeable and up to date. Good for You 3js for standing your ground.(y)

Here's the trade off, to reduce soot you increase NOx significantly. You may believe reducing soot is a good thing IMO I would rather have soot then pegging the NOx meter. Yes soot returned to Intake problematic, Soot to DPF with regular cycling will last decades, the downside is fuel use, If...

Tuners can do it, or buy the BD ramp idle box.

Safety first, and if you have single exhaust it will kill the grass.

GDE , Stay away from 1500diesel.com that site has NOT nothing for you except take your $$$. Autoforums or Velocity Forums, are no more then Money Junkie's. Yes if its sold to Canada, This unit would be legal, it only takes ONE violation to cost $$$$$ in fines. The latest.97hmcs, Really 97, I...

Once Regen is started and Active it can be continue until completed. YOU must set the Parking Brake, Place vehicle in Neutral , Hold RPMS above a 1000 VIA Go pedal until completed. If it drops out of active Regen because the RPM were dropped below 1000 for more than 30 Seconds it cannot resume...

I hope things go we'll for GDE, If combustion soot can be reduced that much the plenum will not need servicing until 100K+ miles. Current 3.0VM owners will have additional player in the Tuning world. I hate VM, Why Fait Bosch jump in bed with that company still baffle's Me. Billion's $ in...

GDE, I see your point, You just cannot assume what driving habits owners have. Hmm I doubt YOU reduce Soot creation by 80% VS OEM, Soot formation would be at best a Guess , I would agree turning off the EGR will diffidently reduce soot intake 80%+ IMO. I have Stationary de-sooted My Eco up to...

The distance on Regen not the best way to gage Health, The Material the DPF is made of can easily live at 2000F+ for 1000s of Active regens, I would rather have Regen occurring frequently. The only way to stop soot in Dsl is NOT to produce it. Dart driving creates soot while HWY driving reduces...

Your driving habits (Good) have been adequate to allow regens to complete. So No need for the % Message. You need a tune or device to View active Regens .

Yep I would not return to that Place, I can only imagine the hack repairs that are commonly performed. Just another short coming of VM, Most modern day power plants have the technology/programing to jump from Crank to Cam sensor. in case of failure. That tone/reluctor ring can fail at any...
