This message is a warning that the ECU has put itself in Limp Mode, depower, limited RPM, and STOPPED REGENERATION. There are about 80 or so conditions that can trip this code condition. So there is real location, although the reference is to the "fly by wire" throttle system.The most important...

Read a report last week in the trades that the late 2019 release eco will be same engine with new injectors, new pistons and coatings, some undisclosed additional changes for improved fuel economy and emissions, 20 hp increase. Of course yet to see.

BG 244 is the Diesel Fuel system preventative maintenance much like 44K is for gasoline systems. BG DFC (Diesel Fuel Conditioner) is your constant usage products for diesel in various flavors, cetane boost, temperature, lubricity, etc. Good products that yes are very expensive and getting more...

I had a long conversation on a different thread regarding Gel Point, Freeze Point, Pour Point temperatures of Diesel fuel a little while back, suffice it to say even in Oklahoma I do not trust even the national chains to properly Winter Mix or Winterize their fuel. I have had one of the largest...

Now if I did my math correctly that would be about 111,846 miles +/-. Your installation parts prep is a great idea. I have inspected mine at each oil change but I am only at 85K miles and I have found no issues yet, but will continue inspections. I certainly hope its later. My 95 Chevy Z71 has...

Rotella T6 for both my ecodiesels, excellent Oil Analysis.

Miles? I haven't heard of early failure of CV axle.

Never heard of that issue with these vehicles. Only replaced the TCM? I would have replaced the ECM and both throttle position modules. I would definitely not drive it until a Tech had driven it a long time. A different manufacturer blamed the floor mats, but they had multiple failures at WOT.

With luck a re-flash may improve, but not completely alleviate, your shifting issues. Sorry to say I believe the ultimate correction is from Green Diesel Engineering, the only outlet that I know of that has a Trans. reprogram available. Man all the computer stuff on these, or any new vehicles...

Well I don't think the 2018 exhaust system will be any better or worse. However it has been apparent that for these ecodeisel driven as a Daily Driver with little to no highway time, sufficient to allow a regen cycle, that DPF issues are common. My wife's Jeep GC ed displays same issue in the...

The new updates incorporate the parameters from the oil specification change. My truck has done the same thing since my reflash for the oil spec. it drives me crazy 60mph up a less than 2% grade and I have to pull back just a little on throttle to get 8th, then have to be real ginger to keep...

Now I am going to assume that you reset the Oil Service Life when you changed oil, but for the ECM to note 40K since last oil change vs. reality of 22K that this step is irrelevant to the issue. Just a guess but I would be looking for a replacement ECM from the dealer. When I changed to Rotella...

PCM is the worst case scenario, self help is the cheap, easy, items first to eliminate the big bad ones that only the dealer or reputable shop can handle. Good Luck.

If your message is 100% Full and you have driven with engine at operating temp. at highway speeds for 15 to 20 minutes and message does not go away, the vehicle will eventually go into Limp Home Mode. At that point you will need the Dealer or Witech equipped shop. The Witech tool is the FCA...

Welcome to the Community. I would agree to a point with TC about first diesel, as a mechanic my 2014 ED is my first diesel as well, but I have a stable of customers diesels to have experience with prior. You will need a good scanner to winnow out the false alarms, most FCA dealers have little to...

My 2014 had an "Over Air Update" this last summer, radio functions did not work the whole 39 minute drive home. Instructions at end stated turn off vehicle and restart to reboot, did so, only issue is I lost all my programed radio and Sirius/XM channels. Now the maps in Nav are a different...

Wow, multiple possibilities. First and foremost as long as the Electronic Throttle System Service message is displayed you will be in Limp Home Mode and your Regen Cycles will be STOPPED, thus filling your Diesel Particulate Filter creating another problem, so do not drive the vehicle. Now you...

I agree with TC. Based upon where you live the Dealer would be your best bet for Wytech. However based upon forum history and personal experience the service delivered by your local Dealer may not be satisfactory, or inexpensive, so be picky, talk with other RAM diesel owners, check feedback for...

I know it has been a minute since this post, but I wanted to weigh in. First and foremost a disclaimer, I have used K&N air filters on all my street machines for years and all my professional racing motorcycles also for years. Also for years I have been reading Laboratory tests after Laboratory...
