    I Googled and found that Dodge started putting Apple Car Play in 2018 and up high end models. I have an Iphone and it works with either system without a cable. Why are you so hung up on Apple Car Play?

    Eco Diesel Exhaust Filter issues

    I have a 2016 and have had frequent regens due to 80 percent clogged DPF. When you say drive at highway speeds that means to me, unless you are on the freeway, roughly 50 mph. The filter will not complete a regen unless the engine RPM is between 2,000 and 2,500 RPM. So you need to drive at...

    Going To Do My First Oil Change Doc's Filters?

    A good friend of mine had a neighbor mechanic install an after market fuel filter in his 2016 Eco Diesel. The media in the filter came apart and clogged the fuel system. It cost him big bucks to get the system flushed and restored. Use Mopar fuel filters only.

    Unhappy with Performance after Emissions Recall Update

    I had the emissions upgrade done during the summer and got poor acceleration after the upgrade. Now that the weather has gotten cooler in Atlanta, the lag seems to be much less or totally gone. Anyone else experiencing the same cool weather performance?

    2016 Dodge Ram Laramie eco diesel

    Hey Folks, Has anyone drawn any connection between the particulate sensor and exhaust filter regeneration? I suspect that my 2016 has had a defective particulate sensor for some time. From the time it was new, I got frequent messages saying exhaust filter 80% full. Last week the malfunction...

    2016 Dodge Ram Laramie eco diesel

    My 1500 diesel is a 2016 with a little less than 24,000 miles. The repairs were covered under warranty. I had been having what I thought was an excessive number of exhaust filter regenerations. I suspect it was caused by the sensor before it fully failed and I got the malfunction light. The...

    I just turned 11,200 miles and I have been seeing the 80-100% exhaust filter regeneration fairly often. The last time it popped up I ignored it for a few short trips. On the drive I expected to clear it, the check engine light and throttle control icon came on. At the same time the exhaust...
