ha ha! Doubtful! I read a lot and have done my own work. Professionally I do Contracts Law and personally I am a shade tree mechanic. When I post a video from Youtube it is where I have done it myself first.

yeah, as TC Diesel says, some of these engines just aren't assembled well. No amount of good oil, magic spells or sofa king tunes will save them if they are not put together right. I bet the next engine has billet mains or at least are assembled by robots instead of Italians with a wrench in...

that video was made "back in the day" when they thought the engine was dying over the cam gear failure issue. He also recommended catch cans but eventually he came around to the need to tune the engine or deal with the many, many headaches caused by the EGR. The EGR, which was not used in...

Unless you are getting paid for the flash I wouldn't do it. I would get the truck tuned though. Good luck!

Right now the tune is SofaKingTuned They give you a good deal on an engine and tranny tune. Improves mileage, longevity, and a lot less problems with the truck. I think it helps the crank because you are not adding soot to the oil nor fuel. It helps the oil stay clean and protects your...

You likely confused them. Call them back to schedule a V08 recall

Did you send in your registration, title or proof of ownership and acceptable identification?

Did you complete your claim and email it in? If so, you should go and check the status. There is no reason to do the recall before claim is approved. The reflash does nothing good for you. I have no doubt you are looking forward to your Sofa King tune...

The sound deadening foam acts as a sound and heat insulator. The heat is the issue. There are wires and other components under the foam. Over time, heat will shorten the service life of plastics and rubber. If you remove the foam, the engine runs about 10 degrees cooler. Do you want that...

If you go to a dealer and they refuse a covered repair and you call FCA and open a case and FCA tells you the dealer is their "eyes and ears" and go pound sand, a letter to Judge Chen, Hagens Berman and the EPA gets you your money. On the other hand, taking the consent decree and your bill into...

It is a great catch! Note that it is on page 208 of 224 of the settlement agreement. One other thing to point out is that the dealer cannot charge you for a CEL diagnosis. The turbocharger system including all related hoses and pipes, all sensors and actuators. Additionally, the Extended...

What I gain out of all these glow plug posts is 1: Always replace the glow plug module first. 2: Stock up on PB blaster and patience if it is a DIY 3:Skip the dealer and find the most skilled diesel shop where they have that $500.00 tool so you don't have to pay for it. Finally, 4: After...

Its a puzzle to me TC. Lots of '14 and '15 trucks died, then the oil spec change and the '16 through `18 trucks have gotten better. But always it is the same thing - lower main bearing failure. Main bearings are not rocket science - and I know because I work with rocket scientists. This...

if you keep a tuned ecm and a factory ecm, just swap ecm's before you go to the dealer for service and you should be good. That is what I do. Use good API CJ-4 synthetic 5W40 oil like Rotella T-6. I like that and a quart of Lucas Synthetic Oil Additive. FCA said the reason the engine fails...

Sofa King eliminates the need for GDE's tune. Its better priced and is an engine tune and trans tune. On the oil cooler, what problem are you trying to solve? Do you tow in the mountains or something? If you just want to run your truck cooler pull the foam off the top of the engine and...

If it is me, I am happy with the new engine and would have no second thoughts about it. Some of these Italian engines weren't made very well. On the other hand, most of them are ok.

You should get a good engine. Put the tune on it (consider sofa king combo tune too) and you should be good to go. Use a good API CJ-4 oil and change it by the frequency on the oil minder. The engines seem to be getting better as time goes on. Once tuned, remove the foam on top of the engine...
