    Error code PO15E and now at 144000 miles a check antilock brakes message.

    I got a scan done by a friend and it determined the brake issue was at the right front wheel. I removed the sensor, cleaned it and spun the hub while blowing compressed air into the port. The brake issue is solved but I am still looking for any input on the PO15E thing. Thanks

    Error code PO15E and now at 144000 miles a check antilock brakes message.

    My truck keeps showing a PO15E permanent code and causes the check engine light to come on often. I delete the code and the light goes away for few miles then comes back on. Has anyone heard of a cure other than replacing the engine control unit? 2 days ago I turned 144,000 miles and a service...

    transmission service

    I asked my dealer to service my 8 speed while the truck was in for an engine oil change, they called and said the transmission manuf. told them not to open it unless there was a problem. I have just under 140K miles and no issues to this point. I have had very few issues and am happy with my...

    Service DEF see dealer

    I had the same message show on my 2015 EcoD. After some research I removed the DEF injector and cleaned it with hot water. Replaced the injector after a few miles the warning went away and has not been on again. I have the date and mileage on record in a file but it is not available just now.

    New to this

    The shutters themselves are plastic but there is a control motor on the bottom that some how knows if they are opening and closing, I would suspect that first.

    Turbo problems

    The last time I had mine in for service the Eco tech at the dealership I deal with told me he had not had to replace a turbo on any Eco Diesels to that point. These are pretty reliable engines most internal issue are due to the EGR system the U.S.A. made them put on before allowing them to be...

    question on keeping ecodiesel, just cleaned a sooty sludged up EGR diffuser tube

    Just a thought, your comment stated you put Rotella 5-30 in your truck. That is not the correct oil Rotella T6 is a 5-40 oil that is approved for the ecodiesel, I am nearing 130K miles and have not had any engine issues with my 2015. I also change the oil at 7500 miles and install a new fuel...

    Where is the tire pressure monitor module on my 2015 RAM 1500 Eco ?

    I found information that shows there is no T.P.M.S. reset on my truck and reprograming requires a scan tool to correct the system. I will look into that.

    Z-46 Recall owners manual "addendum" re fuel filter replacement every 10K

    My dealer mechanic advised me shortly after purchasing the truck to change the fuel filter at every oil change. I have had the oil and filters changed at 7500 mi and have never had an issue with the engine. Sadly the fuel here in North America is not the quality they have in Europe, our fuel...

    Where is the tire pressure monitor module on my 2015 RAM 1500 Eco ?

    I have been on line searching for the location of the T.P.M.S. module, most info says it is on the left side under the dash. I have looked under and on the dash but have not found the module so I can reset the system and clear the message. Do any of you know where it is actually located. I...

    5w20 vs 15w20

    I purchased my ecodiesel in Dec 2015, it is a 2015 model. Early on the mechanic at the dealer that does all the eco work told me to change oil at 7500 miles and replace the fuel filter also as U.S.A. fuel has asphaltine particles in the fuel. I did run some 15W40 for about 5000 miles when I...

    Burning the old oil?

    I do change my own filters and buy them in multiple packs. The dealer knew that when I talked with them. My dealer is a straight shooter and only services my vehicle for warranty and recall issues. Sorry to burst your bubble jdn 112011.

    New Ecodiesel Owner

    Very few Ecodiesels have the 3.21 differential as it is very low for an engine that pulls this well. It would also make it hard to get any decent mileage on a road trip. I have found the best set up for me has been air bags in the rear springs with 8 to 10 lb. of air and 10 ply tires with about...

    Burning the old oil?

    I would not add any used oil to my Ecodiesel as my dealer told me early on about the people having injector issues and they recommended changing the fuel filter at every engine oil change. Our engines were developed for use in Europe and the fuel there is better quality and USA fuel can have...

    Water in transmission?

    I asked my dealer to service the 8 speed in my Eco. I was told that the transmission was a sealed unit and was not to be opened. I have not had any issues with the transmission and pray it stays that way. F.P. Thompson

    2015 Ram won't start

    I have a 2015 Ecodiesel with 118,500 miles just 1,500 short of ending the extended warranty. I have had this truck since Dec.2015 and have been very happy with the truck and the dealer. At this point I plan to keep it a while longer as I am working on being debt free in 2 years. I have had 2...

    Eco diesel def code problem with 165 miles left.

    The DEF injector builds up with crystals of the fluid where it injects into the exhaust and triggers a see dealer for service message. You can remove the injector easily and clean it with hot water and replace it. The injector is held in by a ring clamp with 1 little bolt in it, mine needed a...
