    2014 eco ...Service ETC message

    The only way to clean the intake is foaming and is only a band aid, I did this every 10K miles and still had to replace the intake at 41K miles. I also stationary de-sooted the SCR and change the lube every time. (WITECH) The 3.0 in factory OPS and DD use will cake the swirl valves and...

    2018 Problems??

    If soot was aiding the failures it would show up in OAs, I've done 2 filter analysis both low levels of soot. Fuel in Oil would shorten the life of the rotating mass, not puke it to death, Fuel in Oil destroys the rings first the bearings would be way down on My list for fuel in oil wear...

    New guy WTB eco,

    The VM 3.0 is Hero/Zero Status. The sound foam has one purpose to deaden sound. Its damaging to all the components it smoother them to death, cover up fuel leaks until its to late and in the unlikely case it does catch fire it will add to the flames and any effort to extinguish.

    Turbo water coolant feed tube failure

    The intake Plenum is NOT covered, However it is covered under 100K miles / 5 years, IMO make sure you get'er covered and replaced before 100k miles and 5 years is up.... It will be sooted up bad and will eventually cost in long term ownership.

    90% DPF full

    Don't let it reach 100%, Due to its age you should take it to someone with WITech to place the vehicle into Stationary Regen to burn the ash out. It will take at least 3 cycles to clean it out with WITech.

    Campaign v16 emission control system software

    What Ps the most is the illusion some dealership portray, as being experts, when it comes to diesels the individuals come up short on knowledge and skill, big on the $$$$$$$... Some SRs skills/mentality equal your local furniture sales people.

    My 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel caught on fire

    It adds to the fire, It destroys Wiring and connections buried under it in long term ownership...The myths you hear about diesel like heat are equal to fake News. HPCR fuel system generate heat so Yon DON"T need to retain it., Also remove the CP4 cover. One fire was related to fuel leak...
