Your right about the oil bypass system throwing up flags........I would need to remove it to be on the safe side if i take my truck in for warranty work. I am looking at how to do an install that would be easy to remove if I had too. For instance, 2nd oil cap that has not been modified. I...
The GDE tune is very tempting......I am not sure if I would later run into some issue that would then cause me to lose my warranty because I had a tune. I wish I knew for sure that would not happen.
TC Diesel,
I will certainly take you up on your offer to call you so I can arrive at a complete understanding of the step-by-step procedure to do this. I want to first study the pics and dig a little deeper on the instructions you have provided. I want to go under the hood and study the...
I agree that driving at highway speeds will help mainly because the diesel is at full operating temps and therefore will burn cleaner. However, this does not mean that the exhaust gas being recirculated will not still clog up plenum, EGR & map sensor......it just means it may take longer to get...
Thanks TC......very valuable information.....very appreciative that you have the background & knowledge with a willing spirit to share this with us. I will study the procedure and get to a point where I am comfortable doing it. Just one question, I assume you did not delete your EGR and this...
TC: Can you explain what foaming of the intake and Stationary de-sooting is? How often it is done? Is this done only by dealer or can it be done by the owner? What is involve? Where can I go to learn more about this? Is this procedure done to address all the soot returned to the engine by...
You are right about just drive the truck and enjoy it. So far I am really impressed with my 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie ecodiesel. I have the 3.92 rear end and get between 22 & 23 all round driving and right around 28 to 29 on the highway. For a truck that is impressive. Since I only have 2200...
I with everyone I really want the tune but too loose the warranty over it.......I need to be sure that won't happen. Anyone knows how that can be prevented?
I am very impressed by the GDE tune but I have a 2017 that only has 2025 miles on it that I purchased in February. I am concerned it I installed the tuned ECU then there goes my warranty. I even think if I kept my stock ECU and changed it out when I had to go to the dealership for warranty...
For those who keep their original ECM and plan to switch out when going back to the dealership I think may be in for a surprise. If dealer connects to the ECM to read the data points and see very few like regens lacking & etc based on mileage truck has they will know the ECM has been swapped...
I have heard a lot of people getting mislead on emission warranty. EPA requires major emission components be under warranty from manufacturer for 80,000 miles. FCA has been taken to the matt by EPA on providing wrong information to their dealers and has been told that they must correct this in...
My concern is the dealer will be able to find out through lack of data points on Regen & extra that the ECU has not been in the vehicle very long.

Thanks for the infor......I will check that out. I definitely want to install the Amsoil BMK21 bypass filter unit. Also, did you install an Amsoil unit on your truck?
