Known Fear call Me.
I was vested into Dodge Franchise some years Back, Now I'm vested in FMC corp. I love Ram, and I care deeply about this site and Boostn future. I am now Challenging VM with all My contacts at FCA (FCA is NOT the problem its VM/Fiat)
Stay away from 1500diesel.com.. stay here...
The VM3.0 is not the Dsl you want to be your 1st experience. the 2014-19 If future repairs are needed will problematic.
Its also under mandated Safety re-call, so the dealer is selling you Illegally in America, Yes their is the USED-CAR=Loophole. unless the dealership signs that they are...
Gofinhingup, Please post the Stealership Name.. No doubt they be swindling owners for how long. I've never came across any Ram 3.0 in the pickup without one.
Great engine's go 500K miles with routine manitenence, No 3.0 in its entire history (every 3.0VM Made) has never come close to 500K miles on Routine manitenence, 300K the high mark, gas engine do that.
Trying not to be critical........ but claiming 46K miles its a great engine is not the...
The Alfa Does NOT flash or capable of Making Keys, Also it will not add to the Sales Code/Line sheet, only to vehicle, So if you change the setting(s) in the module that get's the Update (TechAUT at Dealer) you will need to re-do.
I agree, The Internet a two edge sword, You can use it to cut to the facts, or allow yourself to be cut by it...
I'm shocked by how America is so deceived By Over seas Sources especially Europe and China Sources. Yes Not all things Made whole in America are above par, but when stuff happens...
Yep...if You stationary regen Monthly that will help greatly, You will need to clean the Map sensor every 5K miles. and remove the diffuser tube and check the plenum, when it has about a 1/8 of cake soot on the swirl valves return to the dealer and complain its pulsating and jerking, at about...
You can fill (DEF) to Over-full if you like, DI/Urea 67/33% (DEF) expansion when frozen is like .001.
I have filled many trucks Via Gallons, to when you can see it in the fill tube, In fact used Distilled water most of the time.....2013-16 Does NOT have the urea sensor and the NOx sensors are...
This is reality for 2014-19 3.0 Owners. DO NOT let Fiat/VM tire you OUT, stay on them, Do this discreetly and see what Happens, Investigate Buy backs or turn in Options..Press the envelop... IMO stay away from legal proceedings, until no Other option..
BoostN, I'm all over FCA on these QC, Its VM and Fiat Europe (NOT FCA). Hopefully the QC at Cento will improve, End of next or early 2021 that's the Target Date for the Next Gen 6.7, NO VGT, External EGR... I think the Dsl engine will be turning the corner on these Emissions problems....I can...
Its tested, and much info on its shorting comings.
I read these posts often, why is it Buyers disregard all the warnings? Now if you visted 1500diesel.com your another victim of the propaganda.
That sites Mods would be cheerleading the VM3.0 even when losing 110-0 with 1.00 minute to play.
Rumor has it the EPA will be launching another Sting...
Another matter to consider Tuning will end Your AEM warranty and your leftover Factory warranty on the Power Train.
FCA is required to Monitor the AEM, So they will be looking for the foot print it leaves, No tuning will prevent this...
If your going to use it as DD (Daily Driver) it will Be NO "FUN", The VM 3.0 Requires at Least 50/50 Hwy/City to survive, If you used it to mostly to tow the new wagon it will not Keep up with Your Dads Hemi. except you will pass Him while He's refueling if you drive over 250 Miles:)
DEF Retail is ALL 67% DI and 33% Urea. Block Heater & WF for 3F , LOL. If this motor can't start at 3F not plug in......... sell. Now if you don't want to wait for it to warm up by running , Plugging in will help. I have NOT plug in any HPCR engine in My life ,MY 2003 was at Our Cabin IN West...
