OK. The VM 3.0 Was a joint venture VM/GM the original intent was For Europe's GM Caddy, 2004-06 ,It was NEVER intended to be a Pulling Motor. Just Because its a DSL does not equal a pulling engine. If You want pulling BUY Cummins.
My 2019 Limited Does NOT have E-TQ, I just don't drive enough city to warrant the extra $$$.
The only concern I have with E-TQ is the solid-state Battery behing the rear seat, its spendee to replace, if it can last 8-10yrs?
I will also state this, My 2019 Ram 5.7 excels in every Category over...
Mikent, are you using tow mode? My Hemi's easily out pull My 3.92 3.0. I'm going to pull this wagon today to the Jobsite. I've also have pulled GVW Truck/Trailer at 12K LBS, although the Hemi's pull it better then the 3.0 IMO the truck does NOT like that GVW AT All, All four of My 1500s are Air...
Your better off doing OA to establish Trend, The wear metals will show up long before Puking. Yes I now support missing parts. Readers I did 3+ years of testing, Unless your 95%+ HWY use its just to risky....Yes, Maybe I waited to long and errored, But My Judgement is sound. Its PO's me that...
Tom I can't answer your Question, But if you run that DEF tank dry it will be the count down and de-rated power then NO START. Have the Dealer Re-set the DEF Gauge, I hear Ya on the sensor FCA won't flash until NO MIL, for the cash and reimbursement.
Even if the tank is full and the gauge reads...
Forgive Me IN advance, By gas If this is your most motivating factor in Buying DSL.
If it just to Know, its NOT equipped with E-TQ, The E-TQ works great on the Gas Engine, I demo the Feature Last Year, The all-one Starter, Generator belt drive work seamlessly , If you let off the brake you...
Awesome, Say in touch......Be careful. 2018+ Plus trucks have SGM (Secure Gateway Module) There are aftermarket bypass modules up to 2019 that are about $50.00, It works on My 2019. I will keep my ear open on 2020. Infotainment claims it works...
Until Fiat changes out the power plant, I would stay Away from the EcoDsL, It has happen twice to some owners.
Its simple Gas surpasses the 3.0VM in every Category, The Hemi has More power gets the same MPG Cost, In fact Now Gas is Less cost PER-Mile than the 3.0VM DsL here is $2.65 and Gas...
No, its the same senor , But Cummins is 3 PIN the Eco is 4 PIN, You can make a jumper and it will work, I did this on My 2013 to Make the Bnaks Bullet work on My 2013 Cummins. The 2014+ is 4 PIN and again a jumper Harness is needed.
Your choices are limited, Swallow the $ loss or delete and Keep, I agree with Tremper on this ,Go back and demand that the Plenum be replaced and hopefully the intake Valves are good. They get wrapped and its only time before fire if Plenum is soot laden.
Its sad reality Ecocrack. No vehicle...
My guess its no more than Pressure tuning, it will add HP that's about it, equal to Banks Bullet/Derringer.
It would need to come with COC to be on road compliant.
You can replace the sensor if you like, I've dealt with codes for the pass 15 Years, 9 out 10 times its unrelated to the sensor. check all your wiring, I've even found poor ground to defective battery can cause this code.
I would disconnect the battery and Dia-electric every connection in the...
Tremper126, Your what I call seasoned Dsl owner, it will be OK, and if you upgrade to less parts takes a huge bite out of the worry.... Hey remember the 53 Block end of world that never happened, or the trust ring explosion in the 48re, I could go on and on. You know the short comings of the...
Its Hard to say How the sodium entered the Lube, 6-16, the OAs showed lowered Sodium until Mid 2018, when the truck started to pulsate, the Diffuser tube was removed and it was laden with coolant, Remember I was foam cleaning My Plenum at every oil change and NO wetness was found until mid 2018...
Look at My OAs one sample was 35PPM, Sodium. I decided to continue and the sodium levels Dropped.
Mid 2019 the vehicle started to pulsate and the Diffuser Tube was removed and the Soot was wet.(Tube Plenum) I took to Dealership and lets Just say I park My vehicles wherever I want and Everyone...
Still with 1000s+ of leaky EGR in the millions of Dsl, why are they NOT catching on Fire at the levels its happening to 3.0VM and Now happening twice...to some... same cycle as the Puking engine syndrome and AECD and ignorance form VM/Fiat. its diversion tactics By The Same Sources of all the...
Ecopete No, it will still show up in the OAs, I've seen 100s of OAs with elevated Sodium and insoluble it will be found in the OA.
Fleet Owners with elevate levels have one to three choices , HG, Crack head, or leaky EGR, they remove the EGR 1st and inspect the Intake plenum if No wetness or...
