    8 speed Transmission dead or something else?

    Replaced fluid and filter at 120k. light hauling Temp 180-200. 200 being in tow haul mode. Shifts through all the gears fine on the up shift. If I do a rolling stop or stop up hill I don’t get any clunking. Note: today while driving it did make a strange shift and smelt something burning like...

    8 speed Transmission dead or something else?

    Hey y’all, I have a 2015 eco diesel with 260k miles. Just recently when coming to a complete stop I get a horrible clunk. Doesn’t do it in tow haul mode? Anyhow dealership says it has no codes but they suspect that the lower 1-2 gears are failing. “You should be happy that you got 260k out...

    EGR Cooler leaking

    I guess I'm wondering if it would be safe to plate off the egr diffuser tube on both ends with the valve being stuck open? I am handy enough to do that procedure. A complete delete not so much. Is this radiator fluid being cycled into the motor or is it just being burnt off in exhaust?

    EGR Cooler leaking

    2015 ecodiesel tradesman 4x4 3.0turbo Ok so I just did my 121,000 mile oil change and I noticed coolant dripping from the under carriage. Checked coolant and it was low. I have only added about 2 quarts of coolant since I bought it brand new. I did some research and did a coolant pressure...

    EGR Cooler leaking

    That's Great! Well safe passage home and keep us posted. I think all that should be required for EGR leak is just the O ring so that could save some headache for others (radiator baths :) just leaving it on. That sounds like a very doable surgery. Cheers Hey "BoostN" is there anyone else...

    EGR Cooler leaking

    Hey thanks for sharing. How is the truck running? Any overheating or anything that you feel would need further adjusting (the GDE tune)? Are you essentially deleting the EGR with a cover plate, removing the exhaust from manifold to cc, and running a GDE tune.? Is that all that is required...

    EGR Cooler leaking

    Here is some good info on imminent EGR failure and possibly why you should NOT wait to delete it. Such a beautiful engine, what they did to these things will eventually be realized. It is illegal to delete your Emissions system in most states but its better than having a 50,000 lawn...

    EGR Cooler leaking

    Update: Just another quick note you have to purchase the EGR Cooler before hand even though it might only be an O ring because dodge changed their parts policy. I paid the $120 diagnostics fee and am going to trade it in for an older cummins.

    EGR Cooler leaking

    Thanks I will look into it but I think I am going to let the truck go. After my experience with dodge reps today it's clear they don't stand behind their trucks. I'm not going to take on the financial burden of fixing a poorly designed emissions nightmare that only looks like it will get...

    EGR Cooler leaking

    So here's the story I got from Dodge about the EGR cooler. It is covered under 30,000 mile warranty. It is not covered under 100,000 mile powertrain. It's not considered apart of powertrain. The EGR cooler is on back order week and a half or more.(interesting, must be a lot of these cases?)...

    EcoDiesel Service Electronic Throttle Control Message

    Plus shipping and tax your looking at just under 200 i just got off the phone with GDE. If I want to use my truck while my ECM is getting REtuned that would be with their ECM swap out deal, so add another $700 for the ECM core plus tax etc.... Its a good tune as far as I can tell. Just giving...

    EcoDiesel Service Electronic Throttle Control Message

    I purchased and installed the GDE Hot Tune on my truck after having my exhaust filter cleaned. All I have to say for GDE is they may have a decent program but they will take your 700 bucks and will leave you in the dust. I have 94,000 miles on my truck and thought i was in the clear warranty...

    Oil in coolant.

    So the dealership flushed the radiator and said the check engine was regen fouling. I complained that it took 2 days to decider the codes and that I thought the oil in the reservoir was a deeper problem. I did find something concerning. The oil level was reading way past the fill line or flat...

    Oil in coolant.

    What brand of cover are you using? Any chance it's a no drill set up?

    Oil in coolant.

    Thanks for the info John. I'm going to take it in tomorrow and see what they say about the oil in the reservoir first off. Then I will worry about the regen problem.
