DB, Ram America is not the Problem, it is Fiat that brought the VM 3.0 to N/A.. Did you get DSL or gas Ford if DSL it's equip with the same CP4 as the VM 3.0.
Maybe you should look in the Mirror.... Your over paid... You cannot prove Me wrong, I asked for some facts and ALL you provided was conjecture and speculation base on your pay scale.
Like I said , Its NOT OEM Ram's 3.0. What ! ARE YOU BLIND AND THAT IGNORANT? Owners are on 3rd 4th Engine in some cases. it's not a rare occurrence either..... Chuck Did bank really put that POS in Military Vehicles? I have all kind of Info on the D-Max ,and Cummins...Prove me wrong by...
I get Chuck, But the risk is to great.... We'll if Gale Banks Purchased the VM. 3.0 "Block" Banks will be needing to Re-MACHINE AND DEVELOPING TIGTHER SPEC'S, that powerplant will in OEM VM form NOT pass Military Standards. Those engineers are NOT fooled by Marketing or smooth Talk.
Chuck LMBO...YOU obviously Don't know the history of the VM 3.0...FCA LOST 3.5 BILLION ON THAT POS engine. This has been mention 10000+times.."it's a Hero/Zero engine... If you want to throw the dice go for it.. On this engine.. But don't wine when snake eyes show up.
Being 2014 Just dump it....It will never be worth the $$$$$ , Plus the Next engine is at same risk.... Some early 2014-16 Owners went through. 2 warranty Motors and another 1+ Out of pocket Motors.... now that the Motor is out of production plus double the cost and No parts available and!!! the...
The Electronic Fuel RAIL Pressure Regulator if that's what you want to call it (LV, PRV, RV, ) is located on driver side front of Rail... the electronic RVs are a PITR, and NEVER should have been installed ( on any DSL HPCR) IMO, the Mechanical ( LV, PRV, RV ) are less cost and easily replaced...
Let us know if/Who you plan to take action with ? Because FMC has 0 connections to FCA or VM Motori Cento Italy or Fiat. You also did NOT do the research on VM Motori and the 3.0L Produce at Cento Italy BEFORE Purchasing...it's a 3.0L designed for Euro Caddy's that never made production. Every...
Your problem is VM Motori Cento Italy and Fiat, NOT RAM, Plus the VM 3.0 has a history of failures dating back 10 Years, Being a DSL does NOT = longevity. Should have sold back in 2015 before the cat was out of the bag. 1000s of former owner's traded or sold their VM 3.0 between 2015-17...
It likely a fail safe cycle. VM has electronic limiting operations.... which I don't care for. It just another gizmo to fail and requires another gizmo to test.
First HPCR do not conform to logic, they conform to experience. The long cranks are likely related to return rates to high Injectors or the Electronic PRV is malfunctioning. Unplug FCA and see if it starts? -0 Volts is default WO FCA.
John, 1500diesel.xxx is not even close to the membership they claim, You cannot delete your membership completely. Plus it's the same handful of members that do about 50% of the commenting.... Some of the mods attack anyone who post the facts about VM ...Its a honor to be banned. I also look...
It's the inherited risk all VM 3.0 engine incur Hero/Zero status. It will be costly and time consuming to repalce, the replacement will have the same risk.
If you do OAs trends you will get advance warnings ...in most cases......Established trends are required...condemning the engine on 2 or 3 OAs.. elevated levels IMO does not qualify to be a trend.
