Platinum is a synthetic urea (a more purified formula). People who have switched over to Platinum have stopped getting deposits. I only have real-world data to share. But don't take my word, there are others who have the same results: "For those who think Peak BlueDEF Platinum is just a...

Keep up the good work! Here's the highest mileage EcoDiesel that I know of.

The 2015 has 101,000 miles. I'm pretty hard on the truck, so I'm not disappointed. We've had four issues with the 2015. 1) Clogged MAP sensor (31,000 miles) - replaced under warranty 2) EGR cooler leaking (42,000 miles) - replaced under warranty 3) Clogged DEF injector (65,000 miles) -...

I want to know if it was Ram who made the decision or Cummins who made the decision. Somebody decided to switch to the CP4. I'm guessing it was probably Ram in effort to save a few bucks.

It would be interesting to know if it was Ram or Cummins who made the decision to go with the CP4 in the 2019 - 2020 trucks.

That's my philosophy, too.

They were specific instructions for the recall: "Replace the EGR cooler assembly ONLY. If Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated, inspect vehicle for either or both P0299 and P2D2F DTCs. If present, perform section B. Intake Manifold Inspection and Pressure Test. Replace Intake...

I'm not 100% sure. At one point in time, it was free shipping in the USA. You would need to contact them to discuss the details.

We now have a new high mileage EcoDiesel with over 500,000 miles!

Yes, it's a 3 year/100,000-mile warranty.

I've posted the link in this thread a few different times. Here it is: https://moparpowertrain.com/product/5158048af-3-0l-eco-diesel-complete-running-engine/

As we travel from coast to coast, we run Love's Fuel 99% of the time. Love's lists their biodiesel percentages on their website for each station. Depending on the state and station, Love's carries B5, B10, B15, and B20. I have an auxiliary in-bed fuel tank, so it makes it easy to skip the...

There's only 5,368 miles on this sample, but the oil spent 8 months in the engine. Lots of cold starts, short commutes, biodiesel in every tank, and towing. Severe service for sure, but the T6 did its job. I sent my OA to a lab tech to get his input. He said fleet managers typically draw a...

I agree that long term ownership could be costly. I've been fortunate so far. My truck hasn't thrown a code in over three years. Speaking of OAs, I just got my analysis report yesterday. There's only 5,368 miles on the engine oil, but the oil spent 8 months in the engine. That's a lot of...

My statement is a fact. It's a fact that most failures happen within the first 70,000 miles. Many failures happened within the first 30,000 miles. According to GDE, "the main bearing issues is partially design weaknesses and assembly tolerance stack-ups." In other words, some engines meet...

You better go back and reread what I wrote. Nowhere did I say that a failure rarely occurs after 70K. "Most engine failures occur within the 5 year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty period." "The 2014 - 2019 EcoDiesel is a good engine, however, quality control and design weakness has...

That's true. Every EcoDiesel with 350,000+ miles have been tuned. There have been two individuals who claim they went 300,000 on stock tuning. 350,000 Mile Club VernDiesel - 371,000 miles (engine only) 400,000 Mile Club VernDiesel - 423,000 miles (engine only) 450,000 Mile Club James -...

The 3.0L Duramax is being used in the 2022 GM and Chevy 1/2 ton truck, Tahoe, Suburban, etc. The last I heard, they are replacing the smaller 2.8L diesel in the Colorado and Canyon with the 3.0L Duramax.

Most engine failures occur within the 5 year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty period. Unfortuantlly, you have a fairly low mileage truck for the year, otherwise it too would have fell under warranty. Being optimistic for a moment, at least you'll start off fresh with a new engine. Stating...

The 2014 - 2019 EcoDiesel is a good engine, however, quality control and design weakness has resulted in an estimated 10% failure rate. Most of the flawed engines seems to fail in the first 70,000 miles or so. Fortunately, the engines are pretty affordable considering they come with a new...
