Ryan check out that head...if the valves are warped. It's very common on OEM heads.. also I'd that plenum is gunk up replace it...here's what happens the swirl valves get all cake up stopping the cooler air from entering the intake port...the valves get hot from lack of incoming air.

Just remove...contrary to false stories...it does not need timing.

We'll its to late to tell Ya, this is not the engine for remote operation. leaving it sit for 3 months creates all sorts of problems, and likely will required someone who knows the work arounds.... AK is a long ways from MN. First check the in tank pump, remove the COV Cascade overflow valve...

Yep $$$$ in repairs.

Just shorten the life expectancy of Injectors and pump...how much less is just a guess.

It has little effect on MPG You may lose 1/4-1/2 MPG, it differently off-sets the losses in $$$$ repairs.

John the required additive Ratio to make a difference is 4oz per gallon, Your better off buying Bio-diesel and adding NO additives when possible. Check you local station drop sheets for Bio-diesel, in the Midwest its everywhere. MN is 20% Biodiesel May 1 to Oct 31 and Nov 1 to April 30 3%.

If it was repalce under the 5 Years 100K mile warranty and purchased in 2016 Your warranty ended at the 5 Year Mark. You now join the 1000+ of others on 3rd motor.

Hmmm never seen a CP4 throw " Check Electronic Throttle Control" on the screen. and oil pressure light" generally it triggers Rail Pressure codes.... and there's NO Aluminum Parts that rotate in the Direct Injection fuel system use on any Ram 3.0VM ( more like metallic debris). only the...

AO Oil Analysis, Thier are reports of 2020+ failures, improved possibly resolved NOT likely. Its very over engineered power plant, The exhaust after treatment and EGR system was dropped by most other DSL power plant makers. Once the Hurricane motor starts production that will end the 3.0 VM on...

Bad connection on in tank fuel module harness or bad in tank module.

It's too late for my words of don't buy it...Do NOT treat it like the LLY, The Duramax LLY engine is 100 times more reliable. So don't keep it past warranty IMO. It will not like Grocery getting So in long term ownership it will cost $$$$ in repairs. They seem to do OK in 90% HWY use. The...

Then consider selling, at some point the Market is going to Go BOOM.... I know of Trucking companies That are closing their Doors because The On-Road Equipment is bringing Top $$$.

You likely are looking at $1000s in future repair costs.

Thats Just Dealership hype and bait and switch, By the way My 2019 Limited 5.7L with 28K miles is worth More than I paid for it in 2019 at current market value. Go and check it out and report back. Why pay $7200.00 a year for something you don't use or plan on using and with DSL being $5.00+...

I would spend the $ on OAs, The VM 3.0 is among the most rotating mass failure rates in modern day Diesels. I'm sure aftermarket kits OAs will parallel OEM filtration. If you have a Hero Build it will extend the longevity but a Zero build will puke W/WO additional filtration.

You will need to call me on this.....I don't share the procedures online anymore , Some of the Mods at 1500diesel.XXX just paste and copy the info.

You are completely going about this wrong...Thier is no lift pressure sensor in any Ram 1500...you do have RP sensor...desired will be around 3300psi during cranking.....and when running 4000psi +-200psi..

Your entire approach is incorrect......How did you check the feed Pressure? 314PSI is incorrect, it takes a minimum 2200PSI to operate and 1800PSI to start the style of injector VM uses in 3.0 Rams.

Milkmaze, your situation is happening far to often...No, if you do have extended Warranty Fiat will be un willing to help. For all the reader and viewers if you own VM3.0 Have $$$$ set aside for replacement engine, if you never use great. This is the only way in most cases after warranty expires...
