I am not going to opt out. I might if the truck had caused me a lot of trouble. My experience has been ideal, it is has never had a single repair. When my engine warranty is up at 100k I am going to do the full delete and run it until the wheels fall off.
I understand the new eco's (2020) will record and report any tuning so I think I will not buy anything new for quite some time. I have run the GDE tune since 5k miles. I would never try to run a diesel with an EGR. It is just too destructive to the engine.

My truck has been flawless also. I will not be opting out either. I have only been to the dealer once for my 1st free oil change. Will probably do GDE tune and delete later too.

I did opt out, I signed the papers This past Friday 3/15/19 . I will go after total purchase cost of the truck, Plus. I have been offered low trade in value. I went to three different dealers, I wanted to trade this truck in for a ford or a GMC.
Here is a link to website: http://www.yourlegaljustice.com/ecodiesel-fraud-compensation-mass-tort-lawsuit-lawyers/ I was told the firm is representing three thousand other eco ram owners

I opted out as well. Signed the paperwork 3 weeks ago with the same firm @justlucky I talked to the lawyer directly. As I already bought the extended warranty my risk is losing the $3k. I went to my local dealership to discuss trade in and they gave me an offer that wasn't serious. full price for a dealer demo b/c they had to 'sell this ED'.

I have the 2015 ED, stock, but it is the HFE version with vinyl upholstery, cheap radio, no remote entry (keys in the lock). My trade in at 75k miles is 19k. The sticker was 38k and I paid 33k. At 4 years and 75k miles I thought it was kind of fair.

How ever it turns out , I am ok with this law firm has 3 thousand eco clients, and from what the gal said they will not take anyone after April 1, I will gamble the 3 grand they are offering. I feel it's a good chance to get my purchase price back, plus a little extra. and what I will buy if and when it happens, I really do not know. I also have the seven year 120, 000-mile warranty. I was told today i could go to the dealer for service and to ask them not to flash me, but if they do it is no big deal, as. I opt out already. I bought four oil changes and used one. Next time I go in for an oil change. I also want the fuel filter changed. Everyone must decide what is best for themselves, I see people that are going to take the 3 grand and then go for a tune. I do not understand this. From what I thought it bypassed the dep filter. If the tune was the answer, then ram should be fixing my truck with a tune. I like the truck but not all the problems that is see going on for people.

I bought mine used with 113k on it I’m assuming the settlement will do hardly anything for me?
The settlement will give you an additional 4 years of an extensive emissions warranty regardless of your current mileage.

I did opt out, went with Stern Law. The main reason I did is because I already purchased the extended factory warranty 8/100,000 ($3,600) so the extended warranty FCA is offering does me no good. I have 36K on my 2016. I also feel because of this my truck has devaluated more than the $3,075 FCA if offering let alone what I paid for the extended warranty. I have to admit I do love the truck, however I wish it had the Cummins. Might have to upgrade, have had many Cummins before and they are outstanding!

I called Stern today and was told the last day I could opt into their lawsuit is tomorrow am. They emailed me the opt out paperwork for the current lawsuit offer that is out there for the 3k plus the 48 month limited warranty. They told me they had around 2k opt in. I’m just on the fence with what to do. Sounds like the lawsuit is on an individual basis, which can vary from a lifetime warranty to purchase price of truck. Wish I had more time to decide as I just found this thread today. Wish I had more info as to how these lawsuits work.
