Comparing Cummins to VM is like Whale VS Minnow.

It will, and if you check your plenum it will be sooted up.... Your MAP sensor will be 80%+ plugged... and the coolant bottle low even if its mysteriously was suck out. I don't have AEM software... So I'm just guessing it will be more sooty than the one we have now...... Logic would dictate...

Yep......But just don't hold other Diesels accountable for what FCA/VM did or are doing. Diesels in Pickups are just the best to drive / Pull and the mileage is 15-35% better. FCA market this ED for family and DD use and its just not the motor for Grocery getting and pick up the Kids at School.

Its a risk. If I was going to keep My ED....Here's what I would do 1st if it had over 30K Miles complain its using coolant its surging and pulsating, That would required FCA to replace the ERG complete and replace the plenum. I would have the Tech check the Valves for warping and caking...

The whole settle is here https://www.ecodieselsettlement.com/content/dam/fcacourtsettlement/pdf/DOJ_Consent_Decree.pdf As you read the pages form pages 80 + FCA is NOW ordered to report violations to the EPA, They are also ordered to monitor and implement My guess the New software will have...

I left message at TDR for Ya to call Me.

BoostN does all the welcoming....

Fleet manger? Hmmmm training....I suppose This So Called fleet manager knows what about the ED, My guess 1 level below the 1500diesel.com.

HC or LOP ? calculated HC Hand cal / LOP LIe-O-Meter.

Complete agreement.... and speed has a Huge, Did I say Huge impact drive 55/60 and up to 6K with proper distributed weight and dual braking ( proportional electric) 100% functional. I've pull ground pressure check in 13.5 With the Dual Axle trailer Pictured (Legal) and (ED) it did not like it.

I've pulled My Trailers sever times with My ED from Rec/Const, its OK to 4500 after that it struggles, I have a fleet of truck and trailers, the 1500s have their place. these are just a few, I also have Trucks GVWs over 80K... Well rounded experiences , I guess you Ya could say.

No its not going to pull it "Pretty easy" ,its going to struggle. 3.55 gears just make it under powered. Now, that being said if you pull during summer months in temps under 90* and drive 55/65 MPH road ways it will work...

Remove it, and in addition all that worthless sound foam, No diesel should choked to death over some sound nut ,at FCA Engineering

I stationary desoot many trucks over the years, Some owners bring them here just to get the service performed correctly, I don't believe I've had one return in short order... These DPF vehicles that see majority Stop and go city driving just need to have Stationary desooting done 1 or 2 times...

Deward You are creating soot during the Active Regen Cycle, It just does not get the ash burnout, It takes considerable more fuel during the Stationary Desooting , if you injected that amount during operating you would be increasing wear to the rotating mass. The best way to check your DPF...

Active Regens will NOT burn out the ash that cumulates in the DPF, only Stationary De-sooting several times will clean it out

I tried everything and My final conclusion Tune or delete.

#1 Cause Sooting of VGT vanes. The 3.0 a filthy dirty sooty engine when use primarily for city use.

More info the better, The whistle sound is more like a leak, and if its a leak it will throw turbo Codes, and if the turbo is done its probably just the beginning of your problems, the intake will be next and than the DPF. If they replace the turbo demand to see the intake plenum , I'm 100%...

I doubt the turbo has failed. I believe that work needs to performed by a trained, experienced, knowledgeable, qualified, technician... extremely rare to find at any dealership. ___ the Service Manager called and said that they diagnosed a bad turbo and they need to replace it. What...
