    2016 dies whie on vacation.

    I recommended OA for all VM 3.0 Owners, this will not stop the unknown failure, But it will certainly give advance Notice before puking. I have yet to see and OA Trend that was NOT correct. The big fleet owners do engine tare downs on OAs. Additional filtration will stop the CP4 from premature...

    Catastrophic engine failure

    If VM is machining tolerances too 0w ( VM Motori does NOT have the equipment to Machine to near 0w in the rats nest the VM 3.0 is produce at) you will have premature wear, ALL Fiat is doing is pushing the failure pass warranty. Gas engine rotate at HIGHER RPMs so 0w works for MPG reasons...

    Catastrophic engine failure

    Thanks for that info. Please post the Dealers Name, So owners can beware that Dealer is using O-40w. My 2015 had 2 Main bearings undersized, 0-40 would have caused premature wear, Ram had the exact size bearing I needed so I replaced it with correct size.

    Ecodiesel back to back Regen

    Yes..... if it won't allow 2 Regen drive it a few miles and re-engage. The Regens will add fuel to the Crank case , thus lowering the viscosity, it takes more then just once to clear the DPF and Turbo.

    Potential new owner

    Rjmcan, $5000.00 is just not enough...So IMO the selling price would need to be $15K US. The SCR/DPF Intake Plenum will be $6K+, The EGR may have been already been replaced if so another $1K, Tires $1K, Radio another $1K, The sunroof sticks open anther $1K. Minor Body work $$$$+ Yes all...

    GDE is correct on this

    You are on a different scale comparing powerplants to automobiles. We look at a gram/mile basis for emissions and the Ram makes about 0.05 gram/mile of NOx and 500 gram/mile of CO2. The NOx is miniscule compared to CO2. Nox from vehicles is not affecting ozone as it is at ground level. Power...

    Will a GDE tune affect my power train warranty?

    Factory warranty Voided emissions Maybe I can clear this UP, GM All makers Must meet the certification REQUIRED by Federal Law. The instant YOU delete / defeat ON/OFF road use (The only exception to this law is Race or off road competition) GM or your Dealer cannot (legally) even repair the...

    What's the best ecodiesel tune today for "EGR shutoff" but keeping equipment installed?

    Follow post 21, But I here Ya, it actually should use much more to Meet COC. DEF at 67/33% (%) is NOT needed for 95% of actual driving, API is hand holding with EPA and the climate fanatics.

    2016 dies whie on vacation.

    OK ,Robert it does sadden me to Make such statements , I bleed DSL and I had great expectations of this engine. Just to be fair 6.7 Cummins Turbo actuator is problematic, So I carry a spare in the Truck at all times, With My Alfa and MX. I begged Fiat in Late 2016-2017+ to change out the...

    I have lost count on the same event happening to 3.0VM owners, In My 40 years career in DSL repair why do 1/2 Buyers NOT investigate before buying? or even after the purchase. loving objects is something that should require years of faithful service First...... $8000.00 somewhat High its about...

    Ecodiesel back to back Regen

    If it hits 100% limp mode will result, Do You have the skill and the tools to force stationary De-soot? if not acquire the skill and buy Alfa-OBD MX2. place the truck in De-soot mode at least twice then change the oil.

    What's the best ecodiesel tune today for "EGR shutoff" but keeping equipment installed?

    Does the tune shut-down DEF system? If not it will still consume DEF. If you have 2014-16 you are able to run 90% Distilled water,10% Urea/DEF , those years only have a common senor for DEF, 2017 -21 have Quality sensor that's triggered at 23% or less, just Mixed 2.5 Gallons DEF to 1 Gallon...

    HELP - Reprogramming ECM with AlfaOBD

    Ram now has Token flashing, That means, even changing the VIN will not change the date and latest Part# for both Module and OS. The mileage will mis-match. I don't see WHY Dealer or Ram would be concerned with the change UNLESS the motor required major repairs or puked. This is Ram's latest...
