    Another Great Blackstone OA Report

    I had seen the Ecoguard line but was hesitant, yes due to the low price, good to hear they are up to par. My OA mirrors yours, good to see I'm able to keep good company. My wifes 2015 eco Grand Cherokee is also showing good OA even with us purchasing it with 70K miles on the clock.

    Trailer Break assist

    My eco came with trailer brake factory option with the tow package, after running aftermarket brake controllers for years the smooth, seamless operation of this RAM was almost breathtaking. You should completely enjoy the system, if installed properly.

    Diesel additives

    Just a few years ago Bio-Diesel was the rage. Now only location I know of near me is in Oklahoma City, I have found two locations there selling 5%. Truck runs great on it but loses a mile or two in mpg. After reading the study posted I remember reading it years back after the comment period for...

    Exhaust Filter 100% AND Service ETC

    Actually it is good to hear that your first repair lasted two years. However the Service ETC code sets several parameters to Limp Home Mode, which includes no DPF regen, lowered boost, shortened or limited injector pulse, limited gear selection, which sets a code for Implausible Gear Selection...

    How many miles on your Ecodiesel ??

    2014 Laramie Longhorn 4x4 bought used with 20K miles in 2016, now have 74K. Recall on DPF and Catalyst, several Service Electronic Throttle message which, so far, has been a glitch or bad sensor connection, a couple of Intake Manifold Runner sensor low, which has been a bad connection and I am...

    Electronic Throttle Control Sensor

    What I use are a couple of products and there are several good products on the market. So, I use BG All Season Diesel Fuel Conditioner at 4oz per tank and BG 245 Fuel System Cleaner at oil change. I have also used Diesel Power Services fuel conditioner and Lucas Diesel Fuel System cleaner with...

    Just got a new 17 ecodiesel

    Radio comes on whenever the truck is on, I would like to turn it off. Back up cam has time out selection available through settings on the UConnect screen in center console. No mirror or window controls on keyfob. Between my 95 Chevy and my wife's Jeep I am constantly trying to find the gear...

    Diesel additives

    I use BG Diesel Fuel Conditioner in each tank, about 4oz. At each oil change I use the BG Fuel System Service, 457 if I remember correctly. Have customers that use the Power Service brand with no issues.

    FCA, Customers Begin Negotiating A Settlement For Alleged Excess Diesel Emissions

    I was plowing the Ford Factory website and could find no Average Fuel Mileage claims. According to Ford the 10 speed has the top three as overdrive ratios. The ZF 8 speed has the top two gears as overdrive ratios. This is interesting as the Ford F150 lost quite a bit of weight with the aluminum...

    FCA, Customers Begin Negotiating A Settlement For Alleged Excess Diesel Emissions

    Ford's 1/2 ton Power Stroke is kind of familiar. A 3.0L 90degree V6 with advertised 250 HP and 440 ft/lbs of torque. Yeah 10 hp and 20 ft/lbs of torque than our ED, from a very familiar package. Paired to a 10 speed transmission. Can't find any fuel mileage figures yet, may not be trying hard...

    FCA, Customers Begin Negotiating A Settlement For Alleged Excess Diesel Emissions

    I hate to weigh in as I have made some of these observations on other threads on this site, but. From what I have read and seen in the real world the Approved 2017 eco's did not suffer any fuel mileage or HP reductions. FCA has multiple times attempted to get the 2017 tune included as a...

    "Service Electronic Throttle Control"

    Dave131211 sorry for the delay been busy away from PC. I believe you have received many correct answers already, but I use several, the one I ended up with in the truck was a Cen-Tech, under $200, it actually did more than my Launch CRP, the Launch ended up in my wife's 2015 Jeep GC w/ED, in my...

    New tires

    Final update. Tires came off today. Awesome in the rain, quiet on the highway, good ride quality, got in the mud once got stuck and unstuck. Tow light. Mileage is the only draw back, got around 38K when the wear bars were exposed, about a year and three months. Discount Tire did me a solid...

    Electronic Throttle Control Nightmare

    Wow, so $250 for a diagnostic and a new air filter. A little expensive. brokedownbutgood and sqeeter91 both have valid points. It has been my experience that once the ETC code pops ECM goes into limp home mode which puts all systems to baseline, if you continue to drive more codes will pop, such...

    Exhaust filter 100% full Service Required

    To be truly accurate the quoted 17.5 F ( jealous can't get that fancy degree symbol) is actually the Freeze point of #2 diesel, the gel point is actually more closely aligned with the Cloud Point which closer 29 F, some sources state as high as 32 F. However not wanting to nitpick, the mixture...

    Exhaust filter 100% full Service Required

    Glad to hear you are back on the road. Don't want to sound like a debbie downer but since I know diesel fuel gels at 29 F I knew up front that I would be using some type of fuel conditioner. I also know that not all locations stabilize their fuel, they take a chance on location. Here in Oklahoma...
