    DEF Injector

    Owning any VM product will be educational to say the least........

    DEF Injector

    No. 89, you can run DEF at 67-33% but drooping will add in DEF pump/injector life.

    DEF Injector

    Today... its tuff... risky. Geez with EFI we just program for No Mil/CEL done. We were working on Plug and play for 24% but C19 changed all that. It's a gray area because it did NOT defeat any (AECD) and had no effect on NOx sensors, Heck I would guess that most driving would meet the Near...

    DEF Injector

    John it's all over the gauge some 22 other 24%. John you mean to tell Me Your Tuner did not set the DEF at NO MIL/CEL? what did you buy? My 2015 3.0 did not or does My 2016 6.7 Cummins, And some 2017s 6.7 and 3.0VMs have reported the same. It's odd your 2016 trigger the message it's the 1st...

    DEF Injector

    Unfortunately 89 you have 2018, it may have the quality sensor, so that sensor will pick up and trigger code when it drops below 24% Urea, 2014-17 only have common sensor so NO urea sensor, on 2014-17 you can run down to 10% and if you drop below 10% you will get CEL on rational code NONE effect...

    New Tires

    Dig deep into the tire spec Passenger or Truck on or off road, look at the footprint and squirm of the tire What's the Ground pressure PSI VS tire pressure, Example 1500Lbs Ground pressure = 40PSI 2500Lbs ground pressure = 65PSI Etc. if the tire is HWY (HT) it likely will NOT have a shoulder...

    HT will be your best MPG/Longer life/less road noise. Comfort is directly related to Tire Spec and PSI.

    low fuel rail pressure

    Generally, with all HPCR shortage of fuel results in the truck laying down (Lack of Performance) no shudder. it's impossible for the CP4 to cavitate. Pushing 1-liter Hmmmm it cannot produce 1 Liter unless the FCA at WOT and the trucks running 1800RPMs that the max where is the fuel for...

    DPF code p2002 need help

    Did you try several Stationary De-soot? its easily performed by anyone that has Alfa and the required OBDII... its tricky to do multi times repeatably but can be done....You cannot just bake it...It can be steamed clean in some cases, but chemically cleaned is more efficient, the chemicals (Good...

    low fuel rail pressure

    Its not likely to be the Pressure sensor or Injector, What's the lift running Pressure? Are the return rate to High? was MAX pressure test conducted. It possible could be the FCA....FCA are easily tested in and out of the CP4.

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    All the things You mentioned I was the fore runner..... Do your research, I was months ahead of the Lube problem it was 1.5 Years after I publicly declare the VM 3.0 violates CAA laws, The EPA agree with me. The Fire's, EGR, Plenum, Etc and the failures continue to current.... You don't tune...

    100% ecodiesel or VM....hmmm I will provide evidence that 2020 Plus are still failing from the same QC issues, FCA is officially dead (The Merger) I also find it interesting years later in your miraculous wisdom you decide to join this forum Now, claim that owners that have fallen victim to VM...

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    Do you have any proof, other than what someone tells YOU. I removed My engine May 2015 and found 2 undersized Bearings, I also found it interesting that VM had the exact size bearings I needed. My 1st OA confirmed this. By the way I build engines and when they fail, we look into why, and its...

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    Its not bearing design or journal size that causing VM 3.0 to fail...it the QC,plus the bottom end assembly. LMBO the few thou they added Won't correct or change the failure ratio....You are either going to have Hero or Zero Rotating assembly.

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    What improvements? its the same rotating mass... The AECDs VM added in 2020 were Dropped by Cat, Cummins, Detroit, ETC Years back. VM is just pushing the Failures beyond Warranty/ Liability to Stellantis. That extra Hardware will fool many nose sniffers, The informed Diesel enthusiast will say...

    Blown '14 Eco Diesel

    Your SOL...and to add your second motor has the same risk for rotating mass failure. You simply increase your rate of failure buy your DD use. You now join the 10K+ 3.0 failures related to Rotating mass QC.

    Urea shortage?

    I been running that in all My DSL 2013-17, You need to be cautious on some 2017s for some trucks are equip with quality sensor trigger to 22% Urea all 2018s have the QS, so 1 Gallon DS to every 2.5 Gallons DEF is about 24% problem free, Thats a big drop that both the DEF pump/Injector life...

    Thinking About Buying....

    Kgmaine, I hear Ya, Just Pointing out What someone tells you or You read is generally not factual, its someone's opinion. You read some of My forecast back in 2015 I clearly stated the vehicle is in non-compliance of CAA, the engine failures will continue Etc, Yet all I have received from the...

    Thinking About Buying....

    Kgmaine, CR reports LMBO ,I counted 2 lies in your link....... Details My *&^(. Plus most VM3.0 owners have no Idea what CP4 ,CP3, CP1 ,CP6 etc. IMO the CP4 is at the bottom of VM 3.0 failures.

    Thinking About Buying....

    Kgmaine, Why the recall is happening on Cummins Ram 6.7 is not documented to know failures....It simply may be related to Cummins Spec's, unlike VM when over 1000+ engines were failing monthly in mid 2016. VM just kept production levels unchanged.
