WELCOME!

Welcome! I recently purchased a 16 and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, but as I read from other owners, I'm not too sure. Hopefully our luck is good with our purchase. I hope better luck to those who are having the catastrophic failures with their trucks! I might not have bought my Eco-Diesel if I had joined and read these posts beforehand.

Welcome! Like anything, there is good and bad.. hopefully you're on the good side here.

These trucks can be great! I bought my 2015 brand new and it has been 100% trouble free. Read around and get maintenance and tuning tips....

Well since the cold weather hit here in Minnesota I have had plenty of issues crop up and am now dead in the water with a service the throttle control whatever...does anyone know if this can be fixed by a local mechanic or do I have to bring it to the "stealership" that we bought it from? They're like 6 weeks behind in service. Bah humbug

Got the same message last week when truck sat for a week not plugged in when starting just cleared code at home and went on my way.

 

[EcoKronik]

How did you clear the code?
I only know how to reset the oil change message

I have a code reader from Napa that read and cleared two codes I think they were p0201 and p0202 low fuel ️ pressure .

I have a 2014 I bought new with 138K miles. It has been trouble free until a "loss of crankshaft position" and engine quit. The dealer is honoring a safety recall so all is good. I am in Florida and the weather seems to impact the reliability of the eco diesel. When i take it north during winter it will throw codes and as I drive south the engine light goes out.

Crazy, mine normally gets 26-27mpg city when the weather is nice, but we had some single digit weather a little while ago and my MPG went to 21-22 mpg. I'm thinking it's a fair weather truck. I live in Louisiana and our weather is up and down all the time, just like my MPG! On the good side, no other major issues so far.(knock on wood)
