    Service electronic throttle control.????

    As I mentioned earlier, plethora of circumstances, Low Turbo Boost is one of the causes, Incorrect Mass Airflow Sensor reading, Incorrect Mass Atmospheric Pressure reading, VVTC loss of communications, Injector Flow Low/Higher than anticipated, all these plus many others can cause the dreaded...

    Fuel Economy

    Due to the winter blend, #1 diesel ratio to #2 diesel, which lowers the gel point of the fuel you can expect up to 10% reduction in fuel mileage. For my truck that is 2-3 mpg. I use a good winter diesel additive to help with the blend. You may ask why the blend and why the loss in mpg. Your...

    Dpf 100% full, won't go away after forced regen

    Agree with TC, my 2500 popped the same code while doing an Active Regen, but Regen would not conclude. Upon arrival at our camp ground I began the search for a dealer who could work us in the schedule in less than a month. I was able to find a dealer 45 minutes away who could work us in the next...

    EcoDiesel oil cooler

    I can only relay my experience with the same issue. I did install an external oil cooler, a popular model at the time, now no longer offered. At best it pulled temperature from my coolant. What I mean by that is the oil would run 215 to 225 running empty while the water temp now would run 206...

    P1d30 p20ee p2ba9

    Not sure what you are looking for, but here goes an attempt to answer an unasked question. P1D30 - OIl Viscosity too low. This one is fairly simple, change your oil and filter with appropriate viscosity oil and reset oil mileage monitor system. There are multiple threads on oil viscosity (5w-40)...

    Service electronic throttle control.????

    That generic message presages a code, but the message is thrown by a plethora of conditions. One of which is Low Turbo Boost which would be the code caused by the crack in the turbo tube. Your delete program may have short circuited the Low Boost code but not the Service Electronic Throttle...

    have 2007 w/6.7 diesel-looking to downsize to new 1500 with ecodiesel-looking for advise on the durability of this engine

    I have both a 2014 1500 Eco and a 2014 2500 w6.7, both crew cab 4x4. Both have DEF and catalyst. If you drive the 1500 Eco like a diesel you should have few problems and excellent fuel mileage. Comparison: 1500 with 3.96 posi trak rear end, and 169K miles. GDE tune. Averages 25 mpg on summer...

    New to the forum! Where can I find a quality reman or complete new motor?

    The Jeep GC using the Eco is the same engine as the RAM with the exception of the oil pan and the oil filter housing. Other than that you have covered all the bases, I didn't see LKQ as one of your used engine sources. Good Luck.

    Oil change problem

    I use a socket with an appropriate length extension, to get the ratchet away from the engine, this helps to eliminate the rounded cap issue. If you still end up with a damaged cap OEM is available PN 68148345AA. Good luck.

    Eco smoking

    I agree with Temper126, it would appear to be a fuel injector issue. Is your RPS code for high or low voltage? If high then I would suspect a fuel pressure regulator issue. If low I would go with a stuck or leaking injector, if you are getting smoke through the OEM exhaust I would jump on a...

    Air Suspension Problems

    I finally suffered the loss of the air suspension on my 2014. I differ from everyone on this thread as my failure occurred due to heat. A rats nest surrounding my compressor caused a feed back loop of the over heat failure switch, allowed the pump to burn out and shorted the module. My dealer's...

    Shell T6 oil

    It has been good for T6 here in Oklahoma until recently, now no supply. During the freeze in Texas in February of 2021 up to 24 refineries suffered from mild to sever damage to facilities. This created a two to eight week loss of production. Shell had stated that a shortage may occur in the...

    Electronic throttle control

    This particular DTC or error message can be triggered by up to 86 different conditions. Multiple ECM updates have reduced the number of triggers so the incidence of this message has slowed since 2014. I cleared 99% of my occurrences by installing a GDE tune and checking MAP sensor and variable...

    Hydroplaned now transmission is going haywire

    I haven't experienced that specific issue but several times while underneath my truck changing oil I noted that the wiring harness connector had been pulled from it's attachment point on the frame and was dangling in the wind. I pulled the connector apart, applied electrical connector cleaner...

    Can we trust Jeep people?

    The 5.0 Cummins returned terrible fuel mileage which is why it was marketed in a "Heavy Half Ton" not quite a 2500 but heavier than a 1500 so fuel mileage did not have to be advertised. That motor suffered the same issues as our 3.0 VM's due to EPA exhaust requirements and incorrect driving...

    How does one start applying for a buy back on a 2016 Ram 1500 eco diesel?

    Check Engine Light, may also be known as MIL, Malfunction Indicator Light or SES, Service Engine Soon. The code is known as a DTC, Diagnostic Trouble Code, which will have a general description of an issue. That issue may be caused by a plethora of conditions and each must be investigated to...

    Which Tune do I have

    If you have a Banks intake you have a delete tune as this manifold has no allowance for the EGR diffuser tube and does not have the swirl valves. Here in OK the used car lot has to disclose if the truck has had a system delete, but many do not know the difference. Any program update from the...

    2016 laramie ecodiesel cranks wont start

    Yep. Fixed at dealer. All covered under AEM warranty except the ring itself, cost me $11.43. I no longer feel comfortable dropping a transmission with transfer case, not that young anymore, hernia surgery, shoulder surgery, total knee replacement.

    Won’t heat up!

    My 2014 did the same thing, I replaced the temp sending unit and it cleared up. However, there always has to be a however, my wife's GC is doing the same with a Code, replaced the sending unit no go still coding. So I guess I will go with a new thermostat. Or I can reinstall her GDE EPA tune...
