Danfill , you had better place the 3.0 in stationary De-soot soon or its going to strand you and cost $1000s to repair.
I would put it in Stationary De-soot until it pass the sniff test, Likely 2 to 3 Times consecutively .
Like Shortyo Stated NO Special Wrench just a Narrow one. All You need is to grind one down, Gary it looks to Me you are getting Screwed. $800.00 that Part from us 350.00 to 450.00 Modded/OEM, their going to mess around until more things start to leak, The incompetency of most Dealership is...
Cavemann, Mix 2-3 Gallons DS to every Gallon 1 Gallon DEF, Your DEF Pump/Injector will outlive the engine.
I ran My 2015 ED for 4.25 Years at 90/10% DS/urea, My CC Trucks for Over 10 Years. I Know of others going on 500K+ miles DEF problems free at 90/10+- on other Trucks, Like I said, I tested...
50/50. I never said 50/50. would be an incredible Rich ..Mixture. all def that certified is 33% urea 67% water. Now if you want to mix 1 gallon of def to 1 gallon of distilled water that's fine and anything 2013 to 16 or even less Def.You can mix 3 gallons of distilled water to every one...
Now listen closely 2014-16 have common Urea Sensor you can run down to 2-3% Urea 97-98% Distilled water, 2017-19 are likely Just rebadged 2017-18, But....... I have not check if the Sensor was changed like the 2500-3500s (Quality Urea Senor) that have the sensor and it Triggers codes at 22% or...
Depending on what circuit/port, yes its important, if its the return port from the exchanger it regulates the OIL PSI. the exchange have failed on the 3.0s if it does the Coolant pressure will be higher then the Oil PSI you will have coolant in your lube and coolant and lube with High CAL will...
Mesatone , I was a big supporter of T-6 Rotella, Until the additive package change, I contacted Shell they Claim Blackstone analysis is incorrect, Blackstone Labs have checked difference Lubes before T-6 and after and the process detected, Both Moly, Mag, and CAL at correct levels, Shell Claims...
Black bottle or gold bottle? Because Black bottle is not, and Gold bottle is, I hope you have receipts to prove the lube used.
That being said it was NOT the Lube that caused the failure, What's the excuse for the 10,000+ 3.0s that used the correct cert?
Castby, Many 2018-19s are relabeled 2017-18s, FCA Manufacture 1000s of them that could NOT be sold do to the EPA Lawsuit, I have VIN# for 2017 that Customers Ordered and could NOT take Possession due to the Lawsuit, only to find these VIN#s sold as 2018-19.
Just check You door For MFG Date, 5...
UGA40, I would check out Ram Gasser, The 8HP Trans plus the 5.7/3.6 has Ford beat, the Limited smokes Fords 1500 in every category, Plus Ram's have Air ride Option, That Option alone in My use disqualifies Ford/GM.
The New Cab with its new anti-corrosion materials should equal Fords Aluminum...
UGA40, You will need to log your own data. It would next to impossible for some to habitually Drive the same as You. That being said this engine cannot be equal to the new Technology coming, In HEAD EGR (No external EGR..2020+ have two external EGRs) NO DPF, NO VGT Turbo. DSL's of the future...
No, the 2014-16 Engine is NO longer in production, The Block and Heads, Fuel system are the same the majority of other parts are not, all of the electronics are difference.
I'm out, good luck with whatever you decide.
The emission intact Tunes use the EGR, I don't see How GDE could defeat this device (AECD) and pass certification, New technology removes the EGR Device entirely, The 3.0VM obviously cannot , because in 2020+VM has 2 ERG's on the truck. FPT has EGR less Engines so Fiat Has the technology. Now...
