For Example This War On NOx is just crazy, NOx is produce naturally By lighting and other natural occurring events., If A diesel can get 1MPG with just single Digit PPM how...

    Vern uses His ED in commercial use....In HWY use the 3.0 hangs in with the best....1st its less stress on rotating mass, 2nd The OEM programing targets conditional use defeat.

    I would wait until the legal controversies are settle, If that makes NO difference and warranty is NO issue ASAP. Why are you even considering Molesting the Power plant ? Simple maintenance like foaming the EGR/Plenum at 25K Miles Service will likely yield years of great service. regardless of...

    Blown engine

    The failure rate continues to raise ,even after 14 months of NO production..Its the highest ratio failure rate ( rotating mass Diesel ) I've seen or in my life and career. IMO its QC and the only per-warning is OAs, I consider OAs mandatory on any 3.0 VM product. Its Hero -Zero Status.

    FCA will NOT be allowed to molest the Power plant , In Like manner Ford did to the 6.0 or the Ram 2007.5-12 6.7 Cummins. My 2013 Cummins Was getting the Mandatory T05, the Tech replaced the entire SCR form T.O.P to T.P.... FCA Instructions call for the Ammonia module removal and cut the Harness...
