In April we experienced the second of the two major engine failures that plague 2016 Ecodiesels like mine. The tone ring delaminated as we were descending from Siskyou Pass on I-5. We "limped" into Yreka. Truck and travel trailer had to be towed to Redding, where it took two weeks of waiting...
We spent two weeks in Redding, CA waiting for parts after our tone wheel failed on I-5 just below the Siskyou pass. After getting Customer Care to expedite the tone wheel, which took a week and a half, we had to wait a further four days for the bolts.
The failure happened while we were on a...
Not explicitly that I can see.
When our EGR valve failed in 2019, we limped into the dealer under our own power. When the service manager indicated the seriousness of the problem, we contacted Customer Care right away. Because of a broken glo plug the repair took forever. Ultimately we spent...
Of course. The AED extended warranty doesn't cover specific parts. What is warranted is the proper operation of the "Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor." The warranty reads "Subject to standard limitations like accident, abuse, neglect, or installation of non-certified parts, and applicable...
I would question this interpretation of the extended warranty that is part of the Approved Emissions Modification. Under the "Other Sensors That Are Covered" section the warranty includes "Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor" (and "Engine Camshaft Position Sensor" for that matter). If the sensor...
Yep, the window's why we got this trailer.
RE WDH - Our local transfer station has a drive-up scale for weighing that I can use for free if I just want to read the LED screen. It's too short for both the truck and the trailer, so I weigh the truck hitched to the trailer, pull forward and weigh...
Precisely my experience as well. In July of 2019, after towing our trailer through Nevada at over 100 degrees then climbing 9000 feet into the Sierras, coolant leaking from my EGR valve melted holes in the turbo intake manifold of my 2016 Ecodiesel. This was well before the EGR valve recall...
Me too:
The Extended Warranty covers all parts and systems affected by the Approved Emissions Modification, and the warranty term is the greater of (i) 10 years from the date of initial sale or 120,000 actual miles on the vehicle odometer, whichever comes first; and (ii) 4 years or 48,000 miles...
W58 and W68 Recalls
Here’s what I’ve learned. Both of these recalls deal with the same issue. The “crankshaft position sensor tone wheel” may fail causing the engine to suddenly stall and not restart.
W58 - is a software only modification that instructs the engine to use the camshaft position...
I’m the original poster here. Just wanted to get back with the end of our story.
After two weeks at the Mother Lode Fairground campground in Sonora, waiting for the truck to be fixed, we rented a U-Haul and towed our trailer home to Washington - about nine hundred miles with no brakes on the...
This acually supports my concern. The EGR and its solenoid are controlled by the ECU - the operation of which was specifically and mysteriously modified by the application of the AEM (Approved Emissions Modification) update. No?
I had no trouble from my EGR for the 43,000 miles prior to...
We've used our 2016 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel mostly for long trailering trips from our home in Washington State. By June of this year that was about 42,000 miles total on the truck, with 28,000 of it towing our Creekside 20FQ - 4700lbs dry, about 5400 fully loaded (7610 is maximum.)
The rig is small...
