    Engine Failure - Warranty Claim - DENIED

    I had to wait 2 months. It took 1 month to get approved and 1 to get the work done, but that was 2 years ago.

    HVAC Fan issue

    The blower fan on the AC of my 2017 1500 Laramie is intermittently cuts out. When it is on fresh air and the truck is moving cold air comes through the vents, however if it is on recirculate or I'm stopped nothing. I try the manual controls and the touch screen and dothing. As I'm driving the...

    Lower Temp Thermostat

    Anyone know where to get a lower temp thermostat or the part numbers for one. Our stats are built into the housing, so I'm not sure it I can take it out and replace it. I can't see where it can be pulled out. Our stock stats are 208 degree and I'd like one that is in the 190 range.

    Heater Problem

    My 2017 has the same issue. As I drive the heat goes off and stays off for a while then heats back up. I had a pinhole in my radiator and when I topped it off it would be fine for a few weeks then when it did it again i'd refill and the cycle would start all over again. I replaced the radiator...

    Bypass filter affect warranty?

    It does not, however if they say the installation of it caused a failure then it does. If you have the dealer do it I have heard that they will cover the warranty.

    Engine failure

    With the bearings being the issue of a lot of failures as well as possibly soot, you need to change your oil no later than 5k unless you have a bypass filter. Additionally use a high quality oil like amsoil or some other brands. My engine spun at 113k. I'm now at 66k on new motor. I have a...

    Zero oil pressure weirdness

    Sludge is no good. You are waiting too long between changes. If you don't have a bypass filter setup, I would change every 5k. I would do a chemical flush. It may take 2 possibly 3 times before its flushed out. I would use amsoil flush because they have more additives that flush out the old oil...

    Cold start oil pressure

    Probably a switch or sensor because after you restart it it comes alive. There is an oil pressure sensor just below the oil filter housing. Not sure if there are other oil sensors but Check the wires and connector first then check the sensor. Not sure what the readings should be on the sensor...

    Metal found in oil filter. How much is too much?

    get your oil tested. It will tell you what is in it. My last check I had silica (sand dirt) not much but within spec. After speaking to the oil testing company they said dirt probably fell into the filter housing while changing the oil.

    Eco Diesel Engine maintenance and upgrades

    It is still installed. I was referring to the oil I changed at 20k. I still have it since it's good to use if I need it. Any bypass system is better than stock. On my last diesel I built my own bypass system. I just didn't feel like doing that this time. When I got mine Insane was the only ones...

    Eco Diesel Engine maintenance and upgrades

    I would change your and test your old oil and use a high quality oil like Amsoil or Lorenzo's Oil. Testing your oil will tell you what kind of wear there is on the inside of the engine. Soot from the EGR is your enemy. Soot is cooled in the EGR and then dumped into your oil causing premature...

    Overheating.

    Hopefully that's the cause of the overheating. It would suck doing all that work and it still be and issue. Before changing the head gaskets I would get the head tester for $35 you'll know in 20 seconds if it is the HG.

    Overheating.

    I would find a different mechanic. There is a reason it is overheating. There is a kit that you can buy to check a head gasket failure on amazon. It is this blue fluid that you pump air from the coolant reservoir. There are also youtube channels that show you how it works. I would do that first...

    Failed 2017 ECO 63299 Miles

    That sucks! My 2017 was 13k miles (113,000) out of warranty and I got Ram to replace it under warranty. I just had to pay the deductible for my 100k warranty of $1500. I told my service adviser at my dealer that I have had 5 diesels that each have over 300k miles on them and they are still going...

    Overheating.

    I'd have it checked for a head gasket failure. If everything has been replaced in the cooling system then that is the only thing left. Might want to find a different mechanic. There is a thread on the first page here about a turbo coolant line that is under the intake that fails. That may be...

    Catch can check engine light problems

    I was thinking of doing a catch can but haven't had a chance to look for one. Which one did you go with? What is the code? That will tell you which sensor needs to be causing the problem. More important than a catch can is a bypass filter. The EGR dumps soot back into the oil causing engine...

    VM Motori, oil, map, and GDE tune MPG

    I am one of those guys whose 2017 1500 Laramie engine failed. It was at 113k. Spun bearing. I was lucky and got the manufacturer to replace it under warranty. My truck is now at 180k ish miles. I have 65k or so on the new engine. After the failure I started doing research here and other places...

    Exhaust filter

    You need an obd2 scanner that is bidirectional that will allow you to send force regen command. Not sure which scanners on the market have this capability.

    I added an insane diesel bypass filter after my engine replacement. I haven't noticed any metal in my oil or filters.

    Oil temp too high light

    It was the turbo coolant line and coolant valve. They are under the intake on the back of the engine. It cost me $2200. They had to take everything of the top of the engine to get at it.
