I don't know as I don't idle my trucks. Maybe someone who knows will chime in.

Yes, all diesel engine makes have the same basic regen processes or procedures. They may use different triggers, timing, methods of measuring, etc. but accomplish and process the same.

GDE is a great tune and EPA compliant, however, because it is compliant it does not shut off the EGR. Many, including me, still feel that shutting off the EGR is very important. If you want the EGR shut off look at an MRT tune via EOC. It also does not require sending in your ECU and loads...

Shadow is correct. You cannot improve an Eco with a larger air intake. The small Eco turbo can't do anything with more air. GDE long ago tested and proved this. Your wife's Eco improvements did not come from installing that S&B.

Welcome to the forum. The answer is yes. However, when you ask that kind of question you need to provide more info. Such as year. etc., and why you ask. Then we can offer an opinion or solutions that fit your situation Or, there are many posts about turbo lag and solutions. You can do a...

Thanks for your link. Based on your discussion with Motori I am changing to Quaker State Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 (MS-12991) this month.. I've been using T-6 5w-40 and additives since new. It will be interesting to see if I get the same results as you.

Interesting. I've had to use it and it had no effect on the ECM or anything else. The first time I was at the dealer and the tech showed me how to do it. It's a fairly common procedure, never heard of it bricking an ECM

I don't have an answer but I do know that Alpha will not work if you also have the OBDLink MX+ app open. If you do have that app open, close it and see if that works.

Drive it home. If it shuts you down you can restart it and continue. If the ECM gives you the "Engine Will Not Restart" message here's how to get it started. Pull out the starter relay (in the fuse box), and put the key in the RUN position. Take a short piece of wire and jump between where...

That's a common complaint. Some are worse than others. A good tune will correct it.

Welcome to the forum and glad the problem resolved itself. There's no way that driving with DEF alerts or messages could ruin or damage an engine, what a terrible comment. If the ECM again gives you the "Engine Will Not Restart" message and it does stop, here's the way to get it started again...

Thanks for the offer and suggestions. He never PMd me so I assume he doesn't need it

Agree, it doesn't make sense. Here's my copy of VB1 and haven't received any updates. Maybe someone has more current info. Edit: Program would not upload the VB!, said file is too large. Sorry. If you need it, pm me your email and I can send via email

The VB1 recall does not include a 2017 truck

Definitions EGR Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide (NOX ) emissions reduction technique used in gasoline and diesel engines. EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. DPF Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a device designed to...

Interesting that the petition hasn't been updated for 2 months and only 50 people have signed

No hoax, my W58 recall was completed in 2021. The recall clearly states: "Some 2014-2018 MY Ram 1500 vehicles built with 3.0L Diesel engines may have the magnetic signal material delaminate from the body of the tone wheel. The suspect period began on June 13, 2014, when 3.0L Diesel engines with...

Welcome. You are doing all the right things. Enjoy your Eco

That's good news. Does the new pump look like a CP3 or something new? For reference here's a picture of my 2020 3500 HO CP3

I understand your dilemma. There are posts across the forums where owners with failed pumps got them replaced elsewhere or by the owner because the dealer had no parts and Ram Cares explained how to get reimbursed.
