    2016 RAM BLOWN MOTOR 70,000 MILES ENGINE REPLACEMENT

    Fireline....That's not acceptable to Me, A large part of WHY your having such a go of it with FCA is because of the its OK generation. These failures are acceptable because of low level of acceptance. The product is the root cause Fireline, its failure rates are pushing Stellantis to tighten...

    2016 RAM BLOWN MOTOR 70,000 MILES ENGINE REPLACEMENT

    Injectors....fail at the same Rate as any other HPCR system, the difference is removal time for 1 Injector is the same as all 4 on that side. The HP4 is just as fragile as any HPCR pump when poor fuel is used, the only exception to this is CP3/CP6.

    Fireline, GM will fair no better, The LP5 motor with Denso Fuel system for repairs cost more and Wait times considerably longer. V8 DSL in long term ownership costs are much higher then current Cummins 6.7. If you can wait Truck cost are shocking high as of NOW. Rumor has it the 6.7 Cummins...

    Strange sound at shift points

    Buy Alfa OBD and MX2 , Run the turbo through diagnostic tests, Place the vehicle in Stationary De-soot with hood open, observe the engine behavior while preforming these tasks. You also may have boost leak somewhere. I do support the mechanic in that guessing just sucks up your wallet, but it...

    Strange sound at shift points

    You should NOT just blindly hope for the Best, Hope is NOT a plan of action. " Pay attention will suck up your Bank account" If the Turbo pukes you will be looking at SCR, Plenum, CAC , EGR, Etc in cost of repairs.

    Whats floating in my Diesel

    Were did you purchase the Fuel? was it stored above ground other then Truck Tank? That back stuff generally plugs your filter quickly, I would remove and inspect.

    Hard Starting Issues

    HPCR sensors rarely fail, #1 Cause water contamination. When they do fail its generally NO start, Its needs to send Voltage to ECM VIA input wire, or it loops and misses when running, its likely to be the electronic LV/PRV or Injectors returning to much fuel when cranking. The in tank pump...

    Leaking Oil From Timeing Chain Gasket & Beyond..

    Jeep or the Stellantis, did not produce the engine, its VM Cento Italy. The Company is laden with QC and internal short comings. The history (3.0VM) dates back to late 2015. I just don't understand why anyone would want a DSL in a Jeep, To each is their own "I guess"

    Failed High Pressure Fuel Pump(HPFP) 2019 Classic Eco Diesel

    The VM 3.0 uses a NONE GP pump. So they are NOT compatible. I'm with John on VM3.0 Failure rate VS 6.7 Cummins, its an OK pump if good lube/Clean fuel is used its entire life. I simply do not believe that most Dealerships are trust worthy. I've Never heard or seen CP4 failure take the...
