I would wait until 2019....The New changes in Body and Trim are worth the wait to see what power plant will be in the ED.
Also new info on the EPA/DOJ case are putting the final closure on FCA.

jdn112011 Is correct... Its the long term Ownership that it will be costly.. Most of the service Throttle control CEL Message are related to this soot.
Its a real PITR, when its soots up good. My last cleaning was Saturday, Its was unusually Bad , I just don't see How that much soot will not be problematic in long term ownership, You just need to tune up... GDE, PPE just spend the money.
You Need WITECH to place the vehicle in Stationary...
Many are running tunes or deleted, Also leaked Facts show that 4 Months in 2016 200-240 3.0 Rotating mass failures Per month. EDs sold per month 2400-2800 Max, industry standard 1 Per 1000 Rotating mass failure. Do the math.
Out of 104.000 Dozens don't even move the needle.
Its this...
We'll see in 10K miles what effect this has, it may turn out to be a waste of time.
I had the bypass unplugged for 20K Miles and two cleanings, the soot was less in the plenum. then the other 20K Miles plugged in two cleanings.
It does restrict the flow. But it still Bypasses the Gate. Remove the diffuser unplug it form Device, place hand over outlet at idle check it yourself , ramp RPMs simultaneously you can feel the difference., don't burn your hand in the process wear gloves. Also all the rationale changes with...
The last Week was Mix/Hwy/ City today I took it on the Interstates 70+MPH threw some codes of insufficient EGR and (P245B) Flow and de-rated the power, So I will need to increase the flow and find the max restriction... I pulled the Diffuser tube off and after 1 week of driving 192 Miles...
This is my solution for Now, Capped EGR with 9/32 center hole with actuator unplugged No codes or problems in 1 week driving, You may get the occasional P245B , which can be cleared and has NO operational effect.
You will need to tweak the dis-fuser tube and buy 1/2 longer outlet Bolts...
You just cannot have this much Soot Returning into the intake in the long term Ownership.
I have Now foamed My Intake 4 times and Stationary De-soot and oil Change each time, the 4th time was with Actuator plugged in and it was extremely fifthly. I don't dart drive and work hard at MPG and...
I just foam My Plenum and cleaned the diffuser tube and MAP sensor, for the 4th Time in 40K miles it look like the one pictured.. I don't dart drive and I work hard at NOT creating soot...
FCAs wanted to make power with 3.0 displacement with great MPG. that combination= soot.
The last 10K...
Just keep driving, the fail Exchanger will destroy the Entire engine, if it hasn't already , Then they will replace the Engine ALONG with the Exchanger.
Chris Roberts... Don't let the Dealers Hack Butcher Your ED ( Running good), like replacing major components over a simple fix.. 95% of the time TCS is related to dirty intake sensors. or dirty ERG/Plenum.
My 2017 Ecodiesel blew up monday at 10k miles 6 months in
Driving home from Houston no warning light nothing, just boom. Sounds like it definitely slung a rod, waited three hours for a tow to a local dealership. They had nothing for me to drive and Chrysler wouldn’t even rent me a car to drive...
First, I don't Share the sources that I consider to be private / privileged.. if you search the Web Some 2017 owners have posted the failures. I will like to add, Find 1 comment on the 3.0 that Was not correct By TC dating 2+ years before the facts confirmed what I stated.
