    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...

    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

    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...

    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?

    Oil additive

    Anyone run oil additive? In my old gas truck I was a big fan of the Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, have not yet added it to any of my Ecodiesel changes...thoughts?

    Wheel spacers

    Anyone running them? Personally I never have and have always had a bad thought about them...but I am not 100% satisfied with my new wheel offset and am thinking about adding spacers.

    Towing Temps

    Have some slight concerns after making a trip with the new 7,500 lb travel trailer (old one was only 4k) this past weekend. We went up the mountains towards Lake Tahoe (Ice House to be specific) and I noticed my temps climbing. I have an Air Lift bag setup installed on the truck and also use a...

    Towing Assistance

    I know I can look and I'm sure I will find a thread but anyways here's the question. I just stepped up and got a new travel trailer (6,000 lbs dry, 700 lb tongue weight) and noticed my truck is squatting more than it did with our old TT. I've towed the new trailer already and it does just fine...

    Fuel Pump Howling?

    Anyone experience a howling sound coming from (what i assume) the fuel pump? I can hear it when the truck is running as well as when the engine is shut off and key is turned just to the accessories position. Im assuming it is the fuel pump because it sounds like it is behind/below the fuel fill...

    MPG lower while using cruise control

    So I commute 115 miles one way to work and have been testing my MPG between using cruise control versus keeping my foot steady on the throttle, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed what I noticed. When NOT using CC I can get an average from my driveway to work 26-28 MPG at a steady 70-75mph...

    Wheel education

    I am in the market for some new wheels for my 2015 Ecodiesel (and have never bought aftermarket wheels for a vehicle). I ran across a set and like them but I am not sure about the dimensions... My stock wheel numbers are this - 17x8, 5x5.5 pattern (I get what those numbers are). What I do not...

    First issue with my Ecodiesel

    I went camping this past weekend to Santa Cruz and ran into the first issue with my Ecodiesel. It's a 2015 but I bought it off the lot in April this year with less than 100 miles. It now has over 10,000 miles and this past Labor Day weekend (at 10,700 miles) it wouldn't start in the mornings. No...

    Looking to replace the front bumper piece (stock black plastic below grill and above bumper) on my 2015. First question - what is it actually called. Second question is there a website I can buy it already color matched for my truck?

    Little Worried

    I just stumbled across this site when googling stuff about my new 2015 Tradesman EcoDiesel I bought this past Monday. It was leftover inventory from last year and with the lot stacked with 2016's they were pushing to get rid of it. Only 90 miles on it and so far (for the 3 days ive had it) and...
