2018 Ram EcoDiesel - motor blew at 37,598 miles. Ever since I have gotten back I can smell exhaust fumes in the cab. It's so bad I cannot drive my truck. I looked under the hood and also found the wastegate covered in oil. Dealership claims this is normal. There is soot build-up on the backside of the engine. Filed complaint with FCA and they sent someone down to do a carbon monoxide test and claims to find no manufacture defects and says it's the dealer's fault when engine was replaced.
