Well last Thursday I received in the mail from FCA a Approved Emissions Modification notification. On Friday I went to my dealer to ask about it and the service manager knew nothing about it. He took it to his manager and he had the deer in the headlights look. They then tried to tell me that it...
It is interesting to read of all the different issues everyone is experiencing. On my trip last week I pulled my 20' fiberglass boat 400 miles. The lag is so terrible off line that there is a 3 -4 second crawl before it gets to the point where it jumps to 3000 rpm. It seems as if I am using more...
OK, this fire issue that I did not know existed to the degree it is bothered me to look into the problem. From what I understand from my dealership and confirmed by a very good diesel technician, pre update engines the EGR valve was sooting up and plugging with carbon. Hot exhaust gases were not...
Ex Ram how many miles were on you 2016 when the fire took place? If you owned the truck from new like most of us and three years old why did you not have any fire or anyone else prior to update? So what caused the fire to start now. Could it be an issue with changes made to the AEM that caused...
No I do not have the equipment to perform these functions. It would have been interesting to see what changes were made. I do know it is a different performing engine and never consistent. Pending many variables, start from stop, encountering a grade, current engine RPM, pulling a trailer seem...
I noticed the issue returning home from the dealership. After driving the truck throughout the day I have to define the issue. It seems as if it is a lag to approximately 2600 to 2800 RPM. The accelerator pedal is basically pegged but I am not going anywhere to quickly. I was so frustrated I...
Well let me put it this way. I never had to bury the accelerator to get the truck moving at a steady pace from zero to thirty. Now there is a lag and the engine powers up at about 3000 rpm. It NEVER was like this. I now wish I would have taken before and after video of tack and speedo which...
Yet we the consumer surfers. It is so sad. Maybe all of us ecodiesel owners should file our own class action lawsuit. All it is going to take is a bad accident someone will have due to the changes of performance. As we all know it is not the same vehicle we purchased after the recall changes...
Just got back from dealership after oil change and supposedly a mandatory upgrade. They stated that they did not have or hear of issues with upgrade. Got out on the road and everything I read is exactly true. Shift points have changed, big turbo lag and that is just three miles own the road. I...
Well I scheduled a oil change and the dealership states i have to get the software update. I have a 2015 and had some emissions issues but had been resolved and it has been performing fine for the last year. Does one have the option to decline the upgrade? If the truck takes on all the posted...
