O ,I see your point now, Ronald They just No longer are selling, As of Now their are 132 Gas 1500s and 3 Ecodiesel's. The Dealership is required to have certain #s on the lot....Just to put it simple, Ecodiesel's are a noise bleed to most Dealerships in the USA.
I also did a search within 50...
The Inventory changes daily do to dealer trades....SOLD over 100 New GAS, their is only two options 3.6/5.7 GAS. One DSL option VM 3.0.
I did NOT include Dealer Trades, at any Time The Dealership has over 200 NEW PU's on the pavement.
WOW, I'm surprised it has not sold, Price is fair and the item is out of Production.
My guess the hang up is the Injector codes, ALFAOBD can read the codes, and if you own the 3.0 IMO the Alfa is require to own or at some point your going to wish you had owned one. C'mon.
I do think something is in the works, I can't post exact #s but Coon Rapids Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram sold over 100 New Gas Pickups and less then 4 EcoDSL's in June 2020. Case in point March 2015 Coon Rapids sold 15 EcoDsl's.
You just cannot have #s like this before the maker throws in the...
Its simply QC, lack of QC.
GDE, the excuses Fiat/VM Motori have Publish should make a Billy Goat Puke. Hmmmm Their 3.0 is doing all the Puking None left for the Goats?
VM Motori is not fit to be a Power plant Maker for the 1/2 Ton market with the current 603/3.0.
VM Motori should stop making...
The ways listed in article are lacking. I have CP4s that have 500K miles Without the so called fixes listed.
The CP4 is a particle maker when it starts to fail.
I wonder if CARB is aware the 9th Injector pressure on the CP4 Body port (Duramax 2011-16) is considerably higher than the CP3...
The EVIC oil PSI is LOM Lie-O-Meter, The temp is live, Your higher oil temp is lowering the EVIC reading. The question is why is your oil temp so high.
BD has the device https://us.bddiesel.com/products/high-idle-kit-dodge-3-0l-5-9l-6-7l?variant=30073637371968.
You are better off buying ALFA -OBD just put the vehicle in stationary De-soot at your leisure.
VM lack of knowledge in not allowing ramp Idle VIA cruise control just shows how...
The 1/2 Ton market is facing real challenges. The Gas mileage on new vehicles continues to increase, My 2019 Limited cost per mile is equal to DSL 1/2 Tons , Gas is still 0.40 less than DSL here. The 5.7 performs better than the 3.0VM. The 5.7 is $2300.00 less New Retail the 3.6 is $4000.00...
LMBO, You need to remove the blinders or get better sources for your info, 1000s of 3.0VM have complete failure on QC, 100s of Owners are on 2nd and 3rd Engine, Fires on a scale still climbing at hates that are/should be alarming.
Motori VM has drop its ad campaign on the Eco 3.0VM its only...
My guess GDE was busy making the Tune compliant, It may Just Ramp Idle, You would have to ask GDE, No way on the EGR Shutdown.
Check this page out https://greendieselengineering.com/fca-eco-diesel-3-0l-v6-performance-fuel-economy/
Glad to see GDE step up on this, Keith If you would have taken...
Sounds like tone ring failure, why are you/they replacing Injectors Pump, If Dealer is that incompetent you will have future issue's.
Even an expert like Myself has label this engine as a failure and will never own another 3.0VM.
Did the dealer check lift pump pressure, the CP4 takes maybe 10...
Please keep us in the loop, 170K miles is no good, Well maintained HPCR DSL'S go well over 500K miles, with only Injectors and Pump being freshen up. Maybe water pump at every 300K Miles..
It does not surprise Me, the VM 3.0 is laden with issue's. You would have been better off with it catching on fire and burning up like MANY+ other Eco's. I know Two owner that burned up two Eco's. many are on third engine If its as rare as the fake site claims these owners should buy lottery...
The Vehicle is NOT COC compliant, its a violation of CAA law. It would be unlikely that any Judge would support exempting any vehicle from NOT complying. The settlement requires FCA to monitor compliance. Another one pukes does not surprise Me.
I have been screaming for 5 YEARS to remove that foam.....and CP4 cover.
I hear YA on BOSCH investigation, its NOT a BOSCH problem its VM/Fiat design or lack of design and completely being complacent about ALL VM shorting comings. The fires will continue and just changing the EGR will only...
