IMO, their are multi cause of Fires for the 3.0VM. Turbo,Fuel leaks, Plenum, Leaky EGR and electrical.
Remove all that plastic and sound foam that in includes the CP4 cover, and practice good engine hygiene.
I need to find the picture of an internal melted Plenum (Somewhere on one of My...
The BD Pedal commander does work, it just changes the APPS ,ticks the sensor into sending the Position is higher/more pedal. You won't see as great a difference as the BD Cummins commander. I would just adapt to the 3.0 driving before dropping the $$$.
The 3.0 Fairs good with HWY driving...
I’m at a total loss…Hmmmmm

I thought the same, I will see if I can pull up My records, It showed completed, It was Not process (Payment) until I and Nick, The service manager and LONG time friend (25 years) called and change the input the very Next Day I was notified of its mailing seven days Later in was at My Mail Box.
WOW, Active regens have only been Available in America Starting in 2007 on trucks and some Cars dating back to 2004 I think, Someone correct if I'm wrong
Yep. The entire Educational system in N/A is what to think IMO, Of Course its NOT everyone That owns a Ecodiesel.
Hmmmm, If Owners are not...
Fact... You blame Me ,shows why they don't. Since You wanted an answer here it is, I don't reason on feeling(s) and don't get Butt hurt over comments that Humans make telling Me to grow up. First you have to Matter to Matter.
cicilkight You may be the exception. Fact manufacture's DON'T spend...
TRam, the Dealer has NOT forwarded it to the settlement EcoDiesel Settlement Claims, this needs to be done manually, Just imputing into the system done, won't work
ciclkight, if Makers added the manual Stationary Regen you would also need the WARNING message on the danger of Stationary De-sooting. This Current Generation is FUBAR, That would dirty the environment and require effort, and waste fuel.
ciclkight, the OIL PSI is already L-O-M.
Why NOT add...
EGR gases mix with incoming air cooled, its unlikely the Exhaust gases in the Plenum can heat the incoming air enough to combust, the source of the combustion IMO has to come elsewhere.
We are talking flame temps 1500F+ after cylinder combustion.
Check out this video and the EGT's The Video...
Thiers's your fire. The plenum, Look at the casting fins on bottom backside, Once the swirl valves sick heat will warp the intake Valve(s) and the flame will fine its way to the plenum, its only time before it combusts. VM can replace every EGR cooler and it will still happen.

Dmax, be careful if stored in Steel Drum for long periods of Time. My guess its either the recycled tote or use like you are.
I would follow GDE recommendation on the Lube if it starts to get 50/50 for long periods of time Yearly, that may play in on early replacement of HPCR components.
I hope GDE has the tune soon, I've dealt with the Powers at NVFEL and EPA, very time consuming and costly.
In the mean time try to only drive in Hwy needs, and if you do drive city NO dart driving will aid in lower soot production. Keep your fuel tank full when convenient and try NOT to drop...
Its was NOT a Rant.
The OP was asking for Dodge/Ram Gen History, I did Not comment on the Odor.

Diesel enthusiasts Like myself (Decades) take our history very ,very seriously. Fiat and VM have just about single handily Destroyed the 1/2 Ton Market.
