    New Software Update Rd 2

    We got our update recall this week. It is notable that FCA downplayed the number of complaints and the severity of the issue. It is good to hear that someone has had a positive result to an updated AEM. No we will not be participating.

    Throttle hesitation

    My wife's Jeep GC eco had delay but not as bad as my RAM. My truck would only make enough power to slow roll, when light changed I was still in intersection. When delay stopped the engine hit redline, wheels spinning, let off throttle to control, back into the throttle to the same delay. My wife...

    Throttle hesitation

    I have read on other forums as well as this one that FCA programmed up to a 4 second delay of the turbo on cold run to "protect the engine" damn near killed me in traffic, there is a 2.8 second delay in turbo on warm run, not sure why. My question is why have a variable vane turbo, which by...

    GDE Tune Experience & Performance please share

    Multiple answers: yes hand calculate EVIC varies as to accuracy. Pre AEM I got 24 average on Summer fuel and 22 average on Winter Blend fuel. Post AEM I got 22 average for the two weeks before I installed GDE. Post GDE, hand calculated, 26 mpg average Summer and 24 Winter Blend. No throttle lag...

    Electronic throttle control

    Sorry to hear of all the drama. With the year of your truck and the low mileage I am at a loss as to why the Dealer is giving you the run around on repairs and rental. I agree with Boostn that a call to Corporate and get a Case number and Supervisor on board to clarify Warranty coverage for the...

    How many miles on your Ecodiesel ??

    Update. Successful transplant of new DEF tank. Three day total. Cost covered under AEM extended warranty. The tech notes indicated a very good check sequence occurred with a visual inspection for crystal formation at fill neck, sensor area and scan tool for input and output before a new part...

    MAF Sensor code

    Could the plow initiating a heavier engine load requiring more air flow? I believe so, kind of like when I am towing my toyhauler. I have a OEM style K&N and it only reduces the inline air flow restriction, if cleaned properly and at each oil change interval. I remember my surprise once during...

    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    With my GDE and pulling my 28ft Toyhauler Travel Trailer I am averaging 14mpg. Set cruise at 65mph and enjoy. When I pulled the same load to Montana with stock PCM, pre AEM, I averaged 13mpg, but suffered a few down rating due to heat in the high passes and could not even begin to think about...

    Service Engine - Electronic Throttle Control Warning Light

    Can happen. The EGR has a pressure sensor installed, when the EGR diffuser tube becomes clogged then the pressure sensor reads it and codes. Diffuser tube removal and cleaning is simple, can be done in the driveway, so the dealer should have no problem with cleaning. As an aside the clogged EGR...

    (MPG) 2015 laramie longhorn limited 3.55

    Welcome to the group. Wow to start, even with a "tune" my wife and I both see about 2 to 3 MPG loss in the winter with winter blend. We use the OptiLube products as they have the highest lubrication factor on the market. Since you have experienced icing at the fuel neck I would at a minimum...

    Not being a representative of FCA, I believe it should be under warranty.

    Service Engine - Electronic Throttle Control Warning Light

    Good time to be under Warranty. This is all part of the Limp Home Mode, no turbo, limited fuel map, no gear higher than 3rd, horrible exhaust. Have experience with both my vehicles and this code. My dealer has an excellent tech and my own skill has lead to good outcomes. Good Luck.

    Service Engine - Electronic Throttle Control Warning Light

    1. Do not drive it anymore than absolutely necessary. Like park it now. The code referenced did in fact put your vehicle in Limp Home Mode. This mode stops the regeneration cycle and if you drive the vehicle the Diesel Particulant Filter becomes clogged which will cause additional headaches...

    GDE HOT TUNE ECM

    We ran into exactly the same theory when we attempted to get into the CNG conversion, we do CNG repair at this time, and found that due to expense the manufacturers would specialize in just a couple of years or one manufacturer to build certified kits. Good Luck and I love your tune in my truck...

    GDE HOT TUNE ECM

    Actually that is exactly what I thought they were doing, but they are CARB approved and I was hoping the discussion would lead to a better explanation of the difference between the two. I was also hoping that you may decide to go through the hoops to get approved, although I realize that some...

    Electronic throttle control

    The Service Electronic Throttle System warning can be triggered by some 84 different sensor situations. When the error is coded the first items in the long list of causes is the Turbo Under Boost, second Fuel Injector quality under/over expectations, third High Pressure Fuel Pump low...

    Cooling fan

    The fan is a constant variable speed type fan, not on or off. There is a module that controls the fan speed which communicates with the ECM/PCM to control the fan speed in relation to engine temp. So could be a fuse issue or a module issue. A good tech is a must in this diagnostic situation...

    Cold weather (-5 to 20 degrees fuel issues

    I have used several products, some that I thought were good I have found to not be the case. With that said I have settled on the Opti-Lube line of products. Their Winter product is excellent for anti gelling and lubrication of fuel system, their Summer product is more toward system lubrication...
