IMO service records (VM 3.0) have No value Unless accompanied by OAs

If it does not come with OAs I would move on, Pay $$$$$ and if it pukes up are so upside down, its just to risky. 3,700 Total Thats 44 MPH Avg +900 Idle NO way, the engines on its down side for Life and will cost $$$$ in future repairs.

Rizzr4. its Fiat VM that's the problem, Ram is not.... Ram Wanted Fiat to not bring VM 3.0 to N/A, but Fiat did it anyways.... I hope this additional failure does not hurt beyond the $$$$. My guess the 2022/23 will be the last Year for 1/2 Ton DSL Rams and VM.

Rizza54, its common knowledge that the VM 3.0 is Hero or Zero Status. It's NOT worth the risk to buy another...IMO..There are 1000s of 2014-18 Ram VM3.0 pickups on 3Rd Motor. The only reason 2020-22 Ram VM 3.0 frequency of failures are not posting is the sells #s is rock bottom... Even more...

OA Oil analysis....

Did your seller disclose its Ogrins were Canada? Depending on the state laws If it was not disclosed you may have some to recourse to the seller. No , you won't win.. many have tried on OEM warranty, out of selling country warranty.

Chruch, the VM3.0 is Hero or Zero Status. Now 106 Miles or Kilometers , 106 and needing turbo replacement likely means New Plenum. I would Not consider any 3.0 W/O OAs Trends, Just to risky.
