My oil stays nice and clean with the GDE tune.

good news on the extended warranty. Other than that, I can't think of any other good news. I don't know what the chatter was.

Just find your receipt for the fuel filters. Ebay and Amazon allow you to go back quite a ways.

I drove the F-150 with the 3.5 liter and it was the same. Push the pedal and count to 3 until the power comes on.

If FCA says it is not covered you will need to write a letter to Judge Chen with a copy to Hagens Berman, the EPA and FCA stating that FCA is already violating the terms of the settlement by not covering all parts covered by the extended warranty.

Your only option is to call FCA again and ask them to tow it to another Ram dealer. And PLEASE, never spend another dime at that dealer again.

I called and here is what they told me. Don't worry about it showing up on the status. They have the records from the dealership of performing the V08 AEM recall. EVERY SINGLE file sent is being manually reviewed to ensure that all files were updated. This manual review is going to take...

The Silverado diesel engine is made by Isuzu, which is a proven engine. I would not have a moments hesitation about an Isuzu diesel engine. We are not yet sure which transmission it will be paired with - well, I am not anyway. That would be my only hesitation. Plus the new Silverado is ugly...

It's an Italian engine - you have to expect that each one will be different. We are lucky that the parts interchange.

You have to go back to the dealer to get the DPF filter regenerated. Ask them if the records show the AEM V08 recall has been done. If not, have them perform it. That is the recall to reflash your ECM as part of the big settlement with the EPA. I read between the lines on the throttle error...

The swapped in ECM updates with key on but engine not running. Let it sit for a while and all the data synchs up pretty quickly. Then call the tow truck. How bad is it when a routine customer consideration is preparedness for engine failure?

Others are reporting less of a loss, but nothing has been positive. On mine they flashed the ECM and the TCM. EPA optimized vs ownership optimized

I like the Ram, Jeep and Dodge products but in the long term I think the Fiat ownership will not do them any good. I am not certain the "merger of equals" with French government owned Renault does them any good either. Something tells me Renault ends up being the boss of it all.

You could understand them having troubles with the 2014 / 2015 years. But continuing with the same cause of failures in '16, '17 and '18 is just inexplicable.

you can always tune it now with GDE or Sofaking

No, its not just a miles reporter. It is a well designed piece of software that tracks engine use, temperature, towing, etc. Yes, you can fool yourself that you have fresh oil by just resetting the minder. There is not a mini Blackstone lab residing in your computer. It does not perform OA...

Just fyi for future repairs. The 3 way valve is 179.00 at Mopar Parts Giant or Rock Auto.

The ETC error caused it to not regen. When you take it to the dealer ask them to clean your MAP sensor and EGR diffuser tube, since it is on their nickel. They will likely try to blame the ETC error on something you did like not change the oil, bad fuel, fuel filter, etc. Tell them to stick...

dealer, or someone you know with a handheld that can get it to go into regen. What was the underlying issue that caused it to fill? Was there no CEL?

they blow their main bearings
