    Well I've joined the club! unfortunately

    Thomas16EDRam, unfortunate, what warranty is covering the $$$$, interested in knowing If you paid for extended warranty, that's another option for the VM3.0, it won't cover the away loses but sure makes the pay pill allot easier to swallow. 126 Why is My font dark.

    Well I've joined the club! unfortunately

    Its the same rate of failure, I'm not going to provide My sources. This I can share, our dealership is selling 87 Gas Jeeps Rams to 1 equip with VM 3.0 DSL 2020 to Current. This ratio was 63 to 10/12 2014-early 16 it went up and down during that time but that was the ratio, Right Now we...

    Hmmmm, So the 3rd Gen VM 3.0 has NO , ERG, DPF, DEF, SCR , Turbo, a completely NEW rotating assembly, The facts are 3rd Gen is even more over engineered and less developed. In long term ownership in DD use it will cost more to repair and more down time.

    Donesouth don't play that Card, its your lack of concern for the OP Mlinth situation. He was NOT prepared for the cost of complete failure, left him stranded, Its overseas MFG so repairs and down time are considerably more, And what do You want him to do possibly buy another same power plant...

    Its My blood and skin I left on My VM3.0 the years of baby sitting that Power plant the 4.25 Years I own it. The 100s of owners that have call Me with tears because they don't have the $5-10K for repairs without no help from Fiat. Now bring on your 2020+ My 2019 5.7L will out perform it in every...

    DoneSouth..No, Not ignorant at all, The ignorant are the ones that have no clue or concern themselves with 6 Years of Failures, 4 billion in losses and the untold misery of 10,000s VM owners have suffered the last 7 Years. I just used another source that has an open mind that's intellectually...

    2020-22 rate of failure is equal to 2014-19. The VM 3.0 sales continue to fall....2020 Plus are the same problems (Rotating Mass failure ) and will be more prevalent and costly as the 2024+ rolls around. https://cararac.com/blog/2022-ram-ecodiesel-problems.html

    Biodiesel Nice report, If you have established trends that have the same results it's a Hero👍👍👍. Nice to see Rotella started increasing the Zinc again, I would like to see the Moly at higher levels, but it had no effect on wear with this sample, How Many Miles on the lube?

    Engine Failure - 2016 Ecodiesel - 74,000 miles - out of warranty by 6 months!

    Over the decades I've seen many puke engines most are competition under extreme RPMs and load, We spec our engines to the lube we recommend, it's that tight...or loose... You don't have cranks flexing for very long Hrs or miles. Before it pukes itself to death. I'm not going into details on My...

    All Illegally operated. Biodiesel don't mislead members and readers...Its pertinent that the facts are NONE of those are OEM equip miles...I have no problem with those miles stating these are AECD non-compliant...
