Ecodiesel deleted and needs recall done

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 put the truck in limp mode. I do not have a tuner to put the flash back on. This is why it’s bothering me to get it done.

I doubt whether any warranty or recall work will be done on a deleted truck. Take it to a transmission shop as they will have experience pulling the tranny that is required to access the tone ring and CPS.

Your tune is at risk at any dealership, they may cover the tone ring, but you are likely to get the updated Software , and than your dash will be a lighted up with just about every MIL/CEL/Code associated with deleted components missing.

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. Don’t know if I could buy a tuner and program it. I don’t even know where to begin with looking for what tuner to get if I am able to do this

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.

My guess 800.00 -1200.00 plus parts.

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.

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

If it dilaminates the sensor must be replaced, in order for the recall to be paid the tech must update software.

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?

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.

If you take it to a dealer, you had better be specific and clear, because, I doubt whoever you talk to knows the ins and outs of every independent Dealership policy on repairs.

You don't need a diesel mechanic for this work. The tone ring and CPS have nothing to do with it being a diesel. Just try a good transmission shop!

Take it to the shop you trust. have them fix. then it out of the way and your truck is back.
I had the trans serviced at the same time. made sense. This is where you find a good shop.

Even without it being deleted, Steallantis/FCA/Ram Cares won't do a single thing to help you with the issue. The actual issue isn't the CPS, it's that the tone wheel that signals the CPS has a magnetic coating and over time, that coating delaminates. The software flash (W58) simply reroutes from the CPS to the camshaft position sensor and allows the truck to go into limp mode instead of the engine completely cutting out when the tone wheel delaminates. The tone wheel will have to be replaced (and probably the CPS too b/c when the tone wheel goes, it damages the CPS) and that involves dropping the transmission to get access to the CPS and the tone wheel.

The manufacturer used the software flash to CYA so your truck/Jeep didn't cause an accident by the engine going dead while driving. It never addressed the faulty tone wheels and it allowed them to not have to recall over 80,000 trucks and physically replace the bad tone wheels. Which allowed them to run out the clock on the warranty (X96) which was supposed to be 8 years or unlimited mileage-whichever comes first. The warranty period expired in October of 2023. The recall started in 2021 but the 8 years starts on the manufacture date.

The code that comes up is P0336.

I know all this because I'm currently going through this same thing with an undeleted 2015 Ram Ecodiesel myself. It's been a nightmare. I finally got tired of waiting/fighting with Steallantis and paid for the parts and repairs out of my own pocket. My truck went down on April 30th and I just got it back YESTERDAY. My truck was towed 5 different times (3 times to different dealerships, where one absolutely refused to even look at it due it being recall/warranty related) and waited over 2.5 MONTHS for a tone wheel because they're on nationwide backorder.

I started a case with FCA/Steallantis and it's still ongoing even though they have flatly refused to assist in any repairs. I even made a complaint with NHTSA and they won't do diddly because the recall isn't considered OPEN anymore. There was follow-up recall (W66) for folks that DID NOT get the software flash (W58) where they claim that they'll replace the tone wheels and pay for the repairs but they won't. Basically, you're probably screwed and will have to pay for the repairs/parts out of pocket unless you have better luck than I did.

They will NOT. Unless the W58 software flash was never performed on the truck to begin with. The W66 is for those that didn't get the flash done and they're replacing the tone wheels on those.
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.
Don't believe a word that comes out of FCA/Steallantis. When I called them the first time, I was told that my repairs were going to be covered, only to told later that they won't.
