So I’ll start by saying my engine was replaced at 67,000 miles the fuel pump recall was done with whatever fuel pump they put in less than 400 miles after replaced catastrophic failure, causing major issues that three different dealerships can’t figure out and scientist will not take responsibility for calamity damage they call it have been able to drive the truck with check engine light remote start cruise control. Nothing works just had another major failure low oil, pressure, light and major electrical issues happen yesterday and had the vehicle towed again. I don’t know what’s going on but we have to try and figure out how to hold them responsible. I’m probably out $30,000 on this truck with rentals repairs loss of work hotels tows not to mention my entire def system was replaced twice and probably needs to happen again

They are problematic in some/most cases; it will take someone that know the work arounds... Very rare to find someone in dealerships capable of reversing all of this, details will need to be shared $30K WOW...

Your not alone
My friend, I’ve been looking for two years for a used motor, after diligently have the services done on time, still paying for this piece of junk bought brand new, I stop and tell EVERYBODY I meet about how dodge are not standing by there product, I’ve looked at seven so called accident damaged vehicles only to find the engines are shot, then the vehicles damaged for insurance.

It was fiat That Brought the 3.0 VM Motori to Americas Soil, Ram was NOT in favor of the engine GM/VM designed the 3.0 VM for Euro Caddy's that never made it into production 2005-07. Plus, all ??? Americans that believe that Euro's technology is superior, ( Some products, engine, designed parts are better VM 3.0 was doomed form day one of production for Ram Truck/Jeeps) the VM 3.0 was to be placed into 3200LBS car, not 6200LBS truck and then rated it to pull 10K+ GVWR. Bed Plate cap's have proven to be problematic unlike Main caps, Once the Bed plate squirms around destruction shortly ensues. main bearing spec's need to be forgiving and spec correctly and kept that way or at some point its BOOM $$$$$
