    Well...it happened

    Figured this warranted an update...I am no longer an EcoDiesel owner. Got into a 2020 GMC Sierra with the 5.3 gas engine. I looked at the GM 3.0 diesels, but was advised by a friend close to the subject to avoid being a gueinna pig again for an "unproven" engine (they're already coming in to the...

    You wont believe this...

    Last month (March 23rd) my truck was towed to the local dealership. EGR failure and a spun main bearing (https://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/well-it-happened.4141/). Today (4/15) I picked it up from the dealership with a complete engine replacement that thankfully was 100% warranty...

    Well...it happened

    I have 35,000 miles that will roll over to the new engine from my current warranty. I will sell or trade in my truck at around 30-33k miles. Cant risk this happening again and coming out of pocket.

    Well...it happened

    The dealership ordered one the day after the tow truck dropped it off. I called 3 days later and they said the new engine was ordered, was en route to the dealership and it would be ready in 2 weeks. Said it was a failed EGR and coolant got into the engine oil...the "common" problem for these...

    Well...it happened

    I’m fully convinced now that every EcoDiesel has a premature expiration date... Mine is a 2015 that I bought new (only 18 miles) in April 2016

    Well...it happened

    Engine is 100% stock. All I added to my truck was running boards, wheels and a leveling kit. It was overly well-maintained by myself and never driven hard. I wasn’t naive to these potential issues and did everything I could to make this truck last as long as it could.

    New Engine

    Just had my '15 take a $hit on my at just over 83k miles. EGR issue...had it towed to the closest dealership and they called me this morning saying they ordered a new engine. I asked if it was the new gen 2 or the old gen 1, was told it's the gen 1 with the new EGR system. Has anyone had success...

    Well...it happened

    WOW...so yeah...the engine is done. BUT...100% warranty covered! The dealership said they'll have my truck for probably 2 weeks. Ordered a new gen 1 engine with the new, improved EGR system.

    Well...it happened

    I have 2 warranties still in place - my 100,000 mile extended from original purchase as well as the 120,000 power train that came with the class action settlement. I have just over 83k miles on mine. What do you “likely” think it is? Complete engine replacement?

    Well...it happened

    I’ve been raving about my EcoDiesel for the past 4 years, posting about how flawless mine has been (for the most part), and genially optimistic that I bought a “good one”. Well...driving on the freeway today, 70-75 for about an hour and I suddenly hear a ticking sound with NO warning...one...

    EcoDiesel Service Electronic Throttle Control Message

    It's been 9-10 months since the first time I saw this code - I was fairly certain that my repair back then was solid.....until a week and a half ago. Code popped up, drove it to dealership and I left for a 2 week work trip - told my dealership to take their time to ensure it's fixed properly...

    "Service Electronic Throttle Control"

    Here's a big ol thread on this message. I got it and the dealership said it was a bad boost sensor. No issues since it's been replaced. https://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/ecodiesel-service-electronic-throttle-control-message.203/

    Tire size

    What is the widest tire that can go on an 18x9 inch wheel? My Eco has a 2-inch leveling kit installed and clearance doesn't seem to be an issue, within reason. Right now my 275/70 KO2's seem small in the wheelwell. Id like to go a little taller as well as wider if possible. Suggestions?
