Update just got off the phone with FCA and they said I have a choice on getting the tone wheel replaced and not getting the computer flashed. So that was my biggest problem was getting my tune wiped out.
Dang so I am probably better off paying to get it fixed somewhere else if I don’t want the computer flashed. I did see something on molar saying that they would reimburse if I fix it somewhere else. Is this only true if I did it before the recall came out or could I still get reimbursed for it now?
Would Dodge replace the tone ring under the recall or would they just put the update software. Cause I am reading that majority of the issues are the tone wheel delaminating and not the sensor
That’s not as bad as what I was expecting I was thinking $2000 or more. Might just have somebody do it. A lot of diesel mechanics around my area don’t like working on these ecodiesels.
If not taking to the dealership what’s a round about number on how much it would cost to have a diesel mechanic or somebody do this job? I know the transmission has to come out so I know it’s going to be pricey.
Is there a possibility I could get them to not to put the updated software on the truck? I bought this truck 6 years ago and it was already deleted and didn’t come with a tuner so i am not sure if the guy had a tuner previously or if he bought a computer that had the deleted software on it...
I have a 2015 Ram 1500 ecodiesel that is deleted. And it stalled out on me going down the road. The code it was reading was for the crankshaft position sensor. Which I see is a recall. I’m wondering if the dealership will fix the recall and if the computer being flashed will delete the tune and...
I will look into that hotshot diesel extreme. My buddy said try Diesel Kleen+Cetane booster Cummins recommends it. I know it’s not a Cummins motor though
I will clean it next oil change I had to get a WIX fuel filter so I’m gonna get a better one to replace it. Do y’all recommend me put any type of fuel treatment stuff in it to clean the injectors just in case
The fuel filter doesn’t look that dirty won’t let me post a picture of it. But it seemed to help it. It starts right up doesn’t hesitate no more when accelerating. I’m hoping it fixed the problem
Yeah it hesitated to start up and going down the road i accelerated and it down shifted then stayed at 3,000 rpm felt like it had no power. It’s doing the same as before. But I don’t think the fuel filter was changed before I bought the truck. I’m having to wait till part store has a fuel filter...
No Check engine light is on or any other warning lights are on. When I try to start the truck it hesitates to turn over which leads me to believe that it’s the fuel filter being clogged not allowing enough fuel to start or accelerate the motor
I meant to say fuel filter. And just drove the truck down the road and it’s still doing the same thing. I think it’s starving for fuel. Probably was not changed before I bought the truck.
It’s not an fca warranty it’s through my bank I financed through and it was a better warranty than anybody else would give me. I tried attaching a picture of the warranty but it wouldn’t let me
