    CEL and Service Electronic Throttle Control Message, Limp Mode But No Codes??

    If the aandl0402 truck had the W58 recall completed it should run with a tone wheel failure and would have an extended warranty (see att). I'm not sure if it only has a sensor failure. Usually when the tone wheel fails it also takes out the sensor. Check its recall data here...

    2018 Ram 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel died

    The dealer is supposed to replace it with a current pump and replace that when the recall pump is available The current pump is probably not available either. Show the dealer this:

    Best oil

    I've always used Ram's recommended Rotella T-6, 5w-40. Then In April 2023 a member of another forum called VM Motori, the Ecodiesel manufacturer, he asked them what is the best oil for his Ecodiesel. They said: Synthetic European oil, MS-12991, 5w-40. MS-12991 is the important factor. So I...

    100% Exhaust Filter

    I check the data using an EDGE CTS2 or 3. Many use the phone app Torque Pro. For the oil you must send a sample to one of the labs

    Does anyone know of the Z46 recall and when a fix is coming from Ram 2015 ecodiesel ?

    There is a fix. Depends on your warranty. If in warranty the dealer is required to fix it with a current HPFP and replace all the affected fuel system components, clean the fuel tank, And then do the recall when the new pump is available. If no warranty you may be screwed. You bought it two...

    Yep, you are correct. My 2016 has three as well. I received bad info, thanks for correcting me - appreciated!

    Hello Karl here I have a 2017 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel longhorn which I have owned since 2019. Trouble free up till today, I dead battery changed out for n

    If the battery is charged but has no power to the items you describe it may be a blown fuse on the battery. There are three: 100amp, 850w Engine Fan 125amp, Power Steering 250amp, Main Power Source And if one is blown, maybe your "dead " battery isn't dead.

    100% Exhaust Filter

    I should add that my 2016 has been tuned since new, First by GDE, the SFT, and currently MRT. All with the EGR shut off. So my DPF is somewhat protected unlike a stock tuned Eco

    100% Exhaust Filter

    I don't believe short hop trips have anything to do with engine failure. The emissions system, EGR, DPF, and SCR are exhaust related, not engine related. Yes, the EGR system can destroy the intake manifold but not the engine. Local, short-hop driving where the truck doesn't or hardly get to...

    100% Exhaust Filter

    While there have been a disturbing amount of engine failures the failure rate is not large, it's only .92%. There's a lot of speculation as to why they fail but nothing absolute other than the lower-end examples. It's the luck of the draw. One owner has reported he's on his third failure while...

    Oil type

    Originally Rotella T6 5w-40 VM Motori has said to use a Synthetic European oil, 5W-40, MS-12991. So I am now using Quaker State Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 (5-Quart - 22.97 Walmart & Amazon) The MS-12991 spec is what's important. What makes you lean towards Amsoil? Amsoil reports better deposit...

    High pressure fuel pump

    There is no answer. If you want an answer, it will last from 0-500,000+ miles or more. The failure rate is less than 1% of all the Ecodiesels, meaning it hardly ever fails. There is no data on how the failed vehicles were used or maintained. Ram may have data on miles before failing or what...

    Ram 2022 catastrophic engine failure.

    It's disappointing that a relatively new member would resort to name-calling and disrespecting a long-time contributor to this forum.

    Z46 news

    She's neither ignorant or lying. Not sure what you expected her to say but your reaction deserved the click. You are correct, the dealers are ignorant of the situation. I have a sharp and knowledgeable Service Manager who would also say there's no fix yet because he gets no info regards the...

    New to the group

    Good, probably just under your limit. I would think a 30 footer loaded would be more than 7000. At least the ones here in SoCal headed for the desert would be. Enjoy your truck and your trip, it will definitely be better than the Hemi

    Do ypu know what that 30" toy hauler weighs? I would think it's over limits for your truck.
