That's good to know about the sensitivity. I'll for sure use auxiliary switches or a power distribution box. It's good thing we have you around, TC Diesel.
It looks like the price has gone up again. It started out at $6,400 (before COVID) and has slowly increased to $7,895. This comes with a new turbo, new injectors, new CP4 pump, and free shipping!

Wadem, you can buy a brand new diesel engine for $7,500 and have a good mechanic install it for an estimated $1,600. The new engine will come with a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. This is the route I would go in. Your experience is exactly why I don't buy used trucks. Many people don't take...
I've never heard of the SCR in the EcoDiesel having problems of this nature. Something isn't right. I would take it to another dealer for a second diagnoses.
I would take it to your dealer for a diagnoses. Many things can trigger the "electronic throttle control" light. I've only had that happen once. According to the dealer, the MAP sensor needed to be replaced. It was repaired under warranty. I now change or clean my MAP sensor once every...
It really depends on your driving habits and the type of fuel you run. I change mine at 6 months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first. I do a lot of towing and short commutes, so I error on the side of caution. Plus, I run biodiesel in my truck, which requires shortened oil change intervals...
Sounds like the EcoDiesel treated you well. I live in rural New Mexico and have traveled from coast to coast with our 2015 Ram EcoDiesel and through 10 states with our 2020 EcoDiesel. Both trucks are awesome.
John, do you have any pictures of your Air Lift Compressor install? I just installed Timber Grove Air Springs on my truck with the standard fill line. While this works quite well, I think it would be nice to be able to make adjustments on the fly.
For reference, here's what the iDash DataMonster will monitor. What data points does the iDash monitor that you wished your MX+ monitored?

Well, to be more specific, it will be in the Naperville area. We're visiting my wife's grandmother. I hope that Lou Malnati's Pizza makes up for it. ;)
We've done several thousand miles of towing. I've got a few soft codes that I need to chase down, but so far, the check engine light hasn't come on. I've towed through New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. We're about to tow the RV through the panhandle of Texas, panhandle of...
A guy who has rebuilt a few EcoDiesel engines told me this:
"There is a texture on the factory pan that absorbs some of the RTV. If this pan does not have the texture (looks like it doesn't), then I'd say you'd probably want to go with a little less than the factory pan calls for (3 mm). I'd...
I've seen other EcoDiesel owners mount in the same spot. I agree that it's a perfect location for those who don't have tow hooks. My 2015 didn't come factory with tow hooks, but I'm thinking about adding them.
I use the block heater approximately 6 months of the year. I wish I had a quick...
A few seconds after plugging in the cord, I can hear the block heater gurgling. I could hear it on my '06 Cummins and I can hear it on my 2015 and 2020 EcoDiesel trucks.
I haven't seen pictures of the third gen engine with the intake removed, but I wouldn't be surprised if the turbo coolant hose has been removed from the engine valley.
