    ecodiesel motor failure

    I got extremely lucky and I actually travelled 350 miles to a dealer that provides lifetime powertrain Warranty. But it's for original owner only unless you trade in to them under 100k they can resell with the same Warranty below 100k. That being said I still bought a 7 year 100k bumper to...

    Oil Types

    Kendall seems pretty popular. Alternative the penzoil or liquimoly which are the cheapest available oils, On the higher end of the spectrum is the Mobil 1 ESP. I personally run champion syngold from Autoanything. They provide a little better price than advertised for me and I've had no oil...

    Leaking oil filter housing after oil change

    Mine reads right on the money after adding 10 1/3-10 1-2. Don't even check the dipstick until a few days to be honest.

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Using a different weight oil and mopar warranty just sounds like a nightmare. But to each their own. I guess there's guys out of warranty running t6. Which is a very good oil but not spec. Shawn what are you running now that your engine has gone through everything that it has? @moparecodiesel

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    I haven't seen any failures that I know to have used aftermarket Filters other than yours and I don't know of anyone that has had failure that has run non 5-30. Though dealers hung failures pending proof of spec oil 5-30.

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Trust me don't expect to keep your engine warranty if 5w40 touches that truck. If that doesn't effect you then I'm sure it will handle it fine. But pending there is an issue you're strictly out of pocket. And you can't compare an 06 powerstroke to this engine in any way when it comes to...

    Factory spray in boxliner, what brand?

    Same goes for ultimate liners which is what is sprayed at the factory in Warren. It does not blackwash or get chalky. I know what you mean. Every dealer will send you to line-x to Repair factory spray in and they are wrong to do so. But linex is cheaper. 75/tailgate. But there are many places...

    Factory spray in boxliner, what brand?

    Holy shit I searched high and low and even fought with fca to try and get this information for re coating the tailgate I need. Low and behold you found factory match. Truly thankful. By the way this bed liner is fantastic. We were considering skinning my tailgate instead of replacing it just...

    29MPG!

    Haha I read that backwards. Texas to Minnesota. Well I'm up here in cold weather Country but yes the block heater isn't too necessary in your area but it's nice to have coolant already at 70~ degrees when it is cool during the night.

    How often do you see other ecodiesels??

    I've seen a virtually identical gasser of mine but it was a short box, coil springs, no roof and had filigree leather. So other than a being the same color combo it was a whole nother beast

    29MPG!

    We prefer it to our x5 as well, a lot better than the 4.4 drinking premium though it's nice for running to Work in a hurry! 63 is a good speed especially with air suspension as it goes to Aero then. If you slow down to 58-60 you'll see another MPG or possibly 2 pending it's worth you slowing...

    Leveling Kit

    Consider disconnecting shocks and compressing springs, adding the cookie/Puck, (spacer) and then a 75-100$ alignment, it's not terrible. I mean you can always do it cheaper but if you're buying tools it adds up just the same really.

    Where are the fuel filters located...to be drained of water?

    You just need to take into consideration that if it's not a large enough diameter hole then it will be no different than the factory valve that gets vapor locked and doesn't actually drain

    Where are the fuel filters located...to be drained of water?

    I wouldn't be opposed to it. It's offset from the driveshaft and wouldn't interfere with anything. No different from the ez oil drain valve

    BD Diesel High Idle for EcoDiesel released

    Trust me it uses less fuel to idle at 2k rpms for 10 minutes than it does to take a 10 minute one way highway trip. And some climates and personal driving habits and vehicle usages result in high dpf percentages on occasion. That's a sound investment considering you have a use for it.

    just wondering how often the fuel filter needs changed?

    Unless you're putting a ton more mileage on your ctd you could probably back off on the filter frequency of that as well
