I bought a new Ram Ecodisel in 2016, it was a big buck truck, I was looking for a economical truck to pull a 5 wheel, the dealer said there would be NO problem with this truck pulling anything, then we went looking for a new 5th, the RV dealership put the breaks on what we could pull legally. We ended up getting a trailer that was sized to the truck. The truck ran great, no problem,, all the power I needed.
When not towing, the mileage was so so, maybe 22. As time went on , the check engine light came on , on checking the issue, the water was low, ( no leaks ) taking it in to the dealer, they had it for 3 days, couldn’t find any leaks , top off coolant the sent me off, months later same thing, then the recall foe emissions, the fixed it , mileage went down, and the throttle response was scary bad. I complain and the told me there would be a new recall coming soon.
Long story short, 80000 miles the turbo went, dealer has had it about a month, got it all back together, doing a test and the engine came apart, now I waited on a new engine ( all under warranty) thank goodness.
The rebate for the emissions, what a JOKE, everything has be sent in ( months ago ) keep saying they need more, and that I’m the 2nd owner, this truck was New, never register.
Any suggestions?

Welcome! You're not alone as most have had the same issues. I'd recommend reading the Settle Forum for more information around the recall/settlement for EcoDiesel owners.
