    DIY Turbo replacement

    Very very slight chance it would. Even without an egr cooler in the way and that plumbing; there's a banjo oil return line that comes from above trans up and around the Turbo, as well as HAVING to remove the studs for the manifolds as they V together, (the Turbo is the collector) you just need...

    Burning the old oil?

    That dealer was just wanting to sell fuel Filters. It's a waste to change at 8-10k and I think you know that as well. The injectors are fine, and it's low enough flow demand you'll probably never see the hpfp starving due to filter restriction.

    Burning the old oil?

    Today's diesel lubricity is shit from what it was with sulfer. Little synthetic oil diluted into the fuel ain't going to hurt it, like op said it's a fine enough fuel filter. No different than running a synthetic petroleum additive for diesel lubricity. But it's otherwise waste, not like trying...

    Burning the old oil?

    Yeah I do half of the time, I usually keep the old t6 2.5 jug so it's clean, and dump a gallon back into the fuel tank twice. It actually helped my cp4 as I had some cavitation noise before and not since I was doing that. I've got 201k.. and about 6300 hours for what it's worth. Also on a diet

    DIY Turbo replacement

    Honestly a huge job, 12.5 hours of book time but 199,777 finally hit the first major failure I've experienced outside the tone wheel. Extremely intensive disassembly, transmission out, (refreshed the tone wheel) I did it in the garage in a few days. Patience and heat as you've got to remove the...

    2018 Ram 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel died

    Yeah they have recall out on the cp4.2 hpfp as does most every other diesel from various manufacturers that run a cp4. Honestly I expected it to be your tone wheel for crank position sensor, which comes around 90-115k, but accept the inconvenience and let them pay for it. Apparently you've had...

    Reluctor/tone wheel install not covered

    There is not a revision so it is the same part, unfortunately rather than throw away 1000$, run it until failure and get the reimbursement warranty.

    2014 oil pressure????

    It's a fake generated reading so disregard

    Eco Diesel Engine maintenance and upgrades

    Drive the piss out of it. That's how you keep it alive and healthy. Stop and go life isn't for it. Long highway commutes, Towing, hills, getting hot will keep it healthy. Knock on wood 195k I've put a vacuum pump and had the tone wheel failure which was recall reimbursement eventually.

    2014 oil pressure????

    The oil pressure displayed on your evic is just load and temp calculated. There's not an honest reading or sensor. I've not heard of a pan leaking but I'd check torque myself if there's a loose spot on what's likely a permadry gasket before committing to a reseal.

    Exhaust

    Yeah tiny little ones but she's noisy in the cab under power. Fine at speed but acceleration is a bit much for cab volume. Kinda echos in my Topper maybe?

    Exhaust

    Well I let the intrusive thoughts get the better of me yesterday! It's a little loud in the cab I might look for a small resonator to find a happy medium.

    Fuel Leak

    The high pressure fuel pump is on the front of the passenger cylinder Bank so pull your foam and get looking.

    2021 Eco diesel

    That's reasonable miles for a water pump. Not uncommon of any vehicle. Yes the OE pump is 700, obviously you found the aftermarket 100 one. The valve, a thermostat and 5 hours of labor. Welcome to vehicle ownership. I don't find your fault to be fca in this case.

    2021 Eco diesel

    So... 128k you had the tone wheel failure which is recalled so they pay for it?

    P06bb and P0673, glow plug #3 replacement

    Well I've done the back 2, (firewall side) and thought another towards front burned out but it was #3 again. Learned with the second do it while engine is hot they pop right out. About 7 minute Repair no big deal.

    2015 ecodiesel 4x4, 3.92 ratio 10,500 Lb winch.

    Bad studs is about the only way this is possible and the grain is stretching. I'd get em replaced before you drop a wheel going down the road

    2016 Ram 1500 Eco Diesel turbo replacement

    Any more experience with these? I'm about to tick 184 and I'm finally getting some grief out of the ol girl. Few weeks back Hauling the Boat to the Lake went to pass and it threw the overboost and limped, last night went to drag a tree out of some flood ground and heavy boost really pissed er...
