VM Motori ,Cento Italy, is the plant were the 3.0 is assemble , The 3.0 has a terrible reputation Now.

I am heavy invested in FCA ..I want the 3.0 to be successful.. Yep that's Right. That's why I'm so critical ,they could have gain such a market share that it would take GM/Ford Years to dent. I also pleaded with FCA back in 2010 to produce a family SUV. did FCA listen to Me..NO..and look at the...

I stand firm on pay to play...In the 3.0 case it well known that its failures are directly related to the rotating mass, if anyone believes that any Pressure box will puke your rotating mass, than you need to believe your not the father of your Children...Their is No relationship to the failure...
VernDiesel, Yes the 6.0 had a host of problems, Head Gaskets, EGR, Turbo, HPOP and and Fuel Injection problems.
The Rotating mass was strong and held up well, The VM 3.0 has many problem in common with the 6.0, But the 3.0 is leader rotating mass failures of any Diesel in memory.

If its not a complete engine why waste the $, thats Turbo, Injectors...
Yes its covered both ways, By the emission warranty and the Service contract in the settlement...Don't let the dealer screw You FCA corrected this and its included in the 8/80..The Dealer is confusing this with Gas Warranty.

You are welcome to do as you like, But remember this the AEM/Settlement is a service contract (NOT extended Warranty) You would be violating that contract. FCA is ordered to monitor the AEM (If) you bring that vehicle in for repairs at most dealerships they (Service Dept) will be required to...
Yep, and that's the New AEM FCA wants us 2014-16 Owners to buy into... wait until you check your Plenum and Intake at 30K miles:mad:
On the other side 80MPH is going to NET 20-22, that City Mileage is not bad either, its only .075-1.25 MPG less than My 2015.
