Gosh I hope you feel better after that rant!
Slow down, take a couple of deep breaths, it will be alright the world isn't coming to an end because you think the Italians have made the worst diesel engine in history. Maybe you could find yourself a GM 5.7L diesel from the early 80's so you can...
Geesh TC you sure like to confuse things. My post was pretty clear yours was like reading through mud with confusing information that you need chest waders to navigate through.
FYI: VM motori & FCA is who refers to the first generation of this 3L diesel engine which was designed for use in...
There has been several recalls & issues with the gen-2 engines. There are two biggies at present one being the emissions recall commonly known as the AEM and the one for EGR cooler replacement for coolant leaks. Being as your truck is brand new I would assume that neither of these will apply to...
Reading this thread is confusing to say the least, let's try to clear things up some.
First off, if your truck is a 2019 & has the ecodiesel then it will be what Ram calls the classic which will be the same body style as the 2014-2019 ecodiesels & not the redesigned newer body of the...
I'm liking the new split tailgate on my 2020. The only minor glitch I've come across so far is it has to be shut tight before it will allow the halves to open. I'm thinking it's just an adjustment issue, no matter, it's no big deal and I like being able to step-up to the back of the bed & not...
I'm driving a gen-3 2020 and loving it so far.
I don't have a ton of miles on it yet, but so far I'm very impressed with it for drivability & power. It doesn't have any of the performance issues that my '14 ED had when it was new. The 2020 doesn't have any of the dead petal feel from a stop...
I don't feel right about answering this poll because of my circumstances, but I will add my 2 cents.
I liked my 2014 ED really well, but traded it off for another truck "Long Story"and immediately realized how much I liked my '14 ED & wanted it back. I waited for the ecodiesel to be offered in...
The simple answer is no they don't normally make a whining noise & are actually a pretty quite transmission. The long answer is, There's a lot of components that can cause a whine sound. Things like u-joints, transfer cases, ring & pinion gears, low transmission fluid, Turbo charger or exhaust...
Sounds like FCA stepped up and took care of you. Did they finally get your truck running right? The last we heard, you were having exhaust system issues.
If I were looking for a tune. I would probably look at the ones offered by HDSupply rather than the derringer. I would much prefer to turn...
Hang in there, all's not lost.
You can either do a tune to get your truck back or you can wait out FCA. Supposedly Ram has stopped doing the AEM software update & are probably working on a new version of the update due to all of the customer complaints & problems caused by the AEM.
Watching...
$300.00 would be a steal for a job this big. Make sure the guy is compentent and knows what he's getting into. Be sure to change out both the reluctor/tone ring & the crank position sensor. Good luck!
It almost sounds like you need a new exhaust system to go with the new engine. I would think at least the DPF & SCR should be replaced if a forced regen didn't take care of the problem.
You make a good point!
One thing for sure, I would never let them have it with the EGR leaking and them not fixing it. That's just a recipe for them ruining your engine during a dyno test. I know what I paid for my truck and personally I don't think I would let anyone have my truck for several...
I responded to you on another site about this. My suggestion was to call the number listed on the letter and ask some questions about the testing and if they will fix the EGR cooler leak before they do the testing. They might not be interested in your truck knowing that it has a known EGR cooler...
In theory the soot level will be less from the low pressure EGR due to those gasses being taken after the diesel particulate filter (DPF) The unknown is the percentages of how many of the EGR gases are taken from the pre-DPF side or the post-DPF being as the gen-3 will still have some exhaust...
Congrat's on the new truck! I think you'll like it even more as you drive some more. I'm liking mine more every day!!
Let us know how things work out on the Ram Box issue.
