Yes... the EGR is like this, Hose from butt to mouth, No human last very long either do diesels at the % that small displacement diesel engines need to meet Nox levels. The 3.0 get's the Oscar for mileage.
Yep.. Here's the history 3.0 GM/VM are the originators ,joint venture to place the 3.0 in its Cadillac's Sold in Europe, So its original Purpose was to move 3200Lbs car, GM sold out to Detroit/Penske, They sold to FCA, FCA bought VM back in 2010.
IMO this engine will work but its needs...
That's 5 years of Failures Icem your not the 1st 2018 to puke either....I only know of a hand full of 3.0 to make it past 200K miles, ALL have been commercial hwy Miles , I don't know of any DD to make it to 200K W/O puking and the ones I know close to that mileage All have had major repairs to...
What Ps the most is the illusion some dealership portray, as being experts, when it comes to diesels the individuals come up short on knowledge and skill, big on the $$$$$$$...
Some SRs skills/mentality equal your local furniture sales people.
It adds to the fire, It destroys Wiring and connections buried under it in long term ownership...The myths you hear about diesel like heat are equal to fake News.
HPCR fuel system generate heat so Yon DON"T need to retain it., Also remove the CP4 cover.
One fire was related to fuel leak...
FCA cannot force Dealerships to perform work/repairs. FCA will authorize and reimburse the dealership for repairs/work.
I have not look into Hagens Berman compliant on engine failures.... Case 3 17-MD-02777-EMC FILED 11/9/17 SF CA, REPRESENTS INDIVIUALS.

CS, its NOT in the settlement for FCA regulate Dealership Functions, If any Dealership refuses to cover the stated components, You can bring the matter before FCA, Most likely FCA will instruct to go to another Dealership, Your dispute is with the Dealership NOT FCA.
Hagen Berman did little for...
Correct, I verified this Yesterday...All Dealerships have the info on this, You should have No problem with this being covered in any competent Dealership.
The bed plate require precision assembly... I believed this was overlooked during R/D when the engine went into production it was to late to shutdown, the problem exploded when production was ramp up to meet demand.
I've spoke to experts in line production oversight, they all have the same...
The -5-40w has not stop the puking, 1000s of 3.0 failed running -5-40w after factory dump, most 2016+ had 5-40w OEM, No lube will make up for shoddy QC at Cento.
Regardless of what you use for tuning, New Motor is no better then the one that failed, XXX owners are on 3rd Motor, I know of 1 owner on 4th down in LA FCA did Buy back on 4th I think he's waiting on GM 1500 Diesel.
You should at least give the New motor some time before (Possibly) voiding...
Save your $$$ on the intake ,buy a good drop in. If the Factory intake was NOT sufficient you would find the filter in the compressor wheel.
If your going for the look its your $$$
I've have been running Banks Bullet for 4 Years May 21, its been error free, The Derringer and bullet are both the same power adder R/P. Pressure is the safest way to add power to HPCR, Most Tunes use this same principle when it comes to HP.
Adaptive strategies don't confirm well to power changes, IMO your better off setting it at honor power level and upgrading your foot for power and mileage.
