Dbishop I here Ya, its just the complexity that surrounds the 3.0VM and the costly repairs....Sometimes I wonder if the Customer care people are X engineers.:mad:
Some Owners have had rentals for 4-6 Weeks, waiting for repairs. The Dealer (1st) did have plenty of Time to investigate the...
Dbishop.... You may need to revisit continue owning the 3.0VM. You rely on your vehicle and the 3.0VM Wait times are just to long, IMO will only get longer and More $$$$.
Dbishop. I understand your frustration and it has merit. I just want Owners to understand the The American branch of Fiat is not the Problem, Its VM Motori of Italy and Fiat WW.
No Problem, The Term is used in everyday use in the commercial World, its Use in connection to Large fleet owners that retard the Power. Their are 15L Engines that are So XXXXXX that 8.3L Cummins out pulls the Bigger power plants.
Deleting or deleted refers to Illegal acts.......Its unwise...
Maryland, Just remember the Ford 6.7 has the same fuel system as the Ram CP4 plus two more Injectors. Other than that just some early Valve issues 2010-11, Again save some $$$$ for the future Maintenance, and the Blue Oval not any better at Warranty than Ram, So document everything well...

These codes are generally relate to intake ,So theirs the MAP Sensor, Diffuser Tube, TV, Swirl Valves, Plenum Sooted up, Air flow Sensor, Turbo speed sensor, etc, all of these contribute to those codes, If You qualify for AEM warranty thats were I would start. Is the engine castrated?
I here Ya Maryland, Its simple the Cummins cost less to maintain and parts for the 6.7 can be hat at even implement Dealers. V-8 DSL cost more upfront and maintenance will be higher and at times considerably higher, Like the 6.7 Ford a piece of Plastic cost $100.00+ at the Blue Oval. Until Fiat...
They just can’t get away with this. ......
It will continue as long as another stool pigeon just around the corner, and 3.0 Owners continue on with the blinders, and its OK for $1000s in repair costs.
The UK just asking to push 2800-3200LBS car's, its really castrated compared to 6200LBS 1500 trucks and the additional tow ratings. They can last, but its rare to find any 3.0VM at 200K miles trouble free.
Heck theirs a guy at CF with 570K miles on his 2015 6.7 miles still all OEM. I know of...
