I've Arbitrated Many Insurance and MFG cases , IMO I would go with the single with both parties mutual agreement on the person or the wheel. Over the years panel decisions Suck, generally favor emotional side of the matter. Gofish You agree?

The Rotating Mass failures (early) are related to QC, IMO the one's at 80K+ miles and later are related to Oil soot problems, Thier are 100+ of owners stating that the engine puke's shortly after lube service, This indicates some type of blockage that let's go and plugged lube journal(s) IMO...

In my 40 Year Career Thier have only 2 Engines that needed to decommission AECDs to protect the Motor, the 6.0 Ford and 3.0 VM. Thier 100 of thousands of decommissioned vehicles for emission related failures. BIG difference. Now to the decommissioned facts, I been posting this for Years long...

dkingpt, Many CKT sensors operations are by Hall effects with cog ring, Not/Nutso so with the 3.0VM its wheel with magnetic strip. The CKT was a problem before/during AEM. No doubt in My mind VM knew that the tone ring was the problem and negated to share that info with anyone ( another reason...

Just purchase the Parts needed and carry on Board, I realize there hard to come by but can be ordered.

Its probably will be added in the future, My guess is earlier built are failing at X rate and the Latter Years are NOT, Also Many 2018 and 19s are rebadged Trucks from 2017. Another thought is Maybe the Cam/Crank software was installed in Your 2017.

Yep, that's the correct method, Knowledge is everything when its couple with understanding. Even in this thread maybe its best if the 3.0VM stays home on long trips until VM comes up with a dependable fix. Back in 2016 I took My 3.0 to the Cabin in West Yellowstone in Aug, We stopped at...

Biodiesel, I agree. I cannot accept or be a member of any organization, forum ,group that suppresses anyone's opinion. Example, 100s of current Ecodiesel Have call Me on possible Ownership, I discourage Buying do to the risk of ownership, Some have followed it others have NOT. Some that have...

The truth... I forecasted the VM 3.0 failures Years in advance, Certain Mods at the site can Call it whatever, Make false claims, Mislead their fellow Man in covering up, that site (some) mods are most anti-factual in My 40 Year business Career. I see them as haters, Yep agree with the...

Glow plugs on the 3.0VM are generally corroded and unable to remove. This picture is someone who attempted to remove them and they broke off and the tips dropped and took out the engine.

John, That work both ways, I know of owners on 3rd & 4th Motors that have never type a single letter at any forum. Weather You believe the VM 3.0 % of problems out weigh its benefit, it Numbers are dropping , its only Time before Fiat Dumps VM for another power plant or The Diesel Ram 1/2...

The problem is the Truck will self-level, when in tow with battery connected, Even when you place the truck in Exist/Entry or any mode except transport. No thanks I leave My Air ride on its internal rubber stops when in tow. You are welcome to tow how you like...... W/WO Battery connected and...

If the Shaft nut is TQ correctly its not necessary, DJ's in UT has the fix, Last I heard its required to bring the engine to them. If your that concerned you can remove the CP4 and Check the TQ on gears CP4 and Cam/Drive Bolt/Nut.

I have 1500s, I sold my 2015 VM.30 and replace it with 2019 5.7 Limited, it out tows the VM 3.0 in city towing I used it in. At the GVW I would Buy 2500, I rarely tow with My 1500s, once you tow with more iron its more safer and enjoyable. The VM 3.0 has performed OK in HWY use , even...

I would disconnect the Battery before towing anyways, with doors unlocked, if you have air ride that need to be set at transport mode. If disconnecting in Your opinion is to much hassle buy and install disconnect ground switch.

In a lease theirs no advantage to the VM 3.0 Vs 5.7L the $3200.00 less cost in itself makes it unattractive Plus all the risk of AECD that are known to be problematic for the VM 3.0, The Eco has been removed form all of FCA and VM all campaigns it now call just a diesel for good reason. My...

I just don't believe what Ram Cares Says, its this simple its the Dealer that does the repair, Ram cares is NO more then a spokesman for Fiat, has has little to no control at the Dealer level. I do share your views on how screwed up things have become on the 3.0VM.

My Sources state You can opt out but... NO AEM warranty or repairs until CAA COC. Only the OEM warranty, My guess is if you wait and your tone Ring fails, and the New update is available you will get the new parts and flash, We are talking only 2014-16 3.0s? 2018+ are all CAA complaint. So...
