Wow! Very interested in this post since not only do I have my 2014 RAM ED but my wife now has a 2015 JEEP ED, I do the oil changes on both. Just checked my WIX parts catalog and the oil filter for both vehicles is the same part number, double checked with MANN-HUMMEL and they also show the same...

LOL. You are correct, I try to tread lightly. After 39 years of marriage, 30+ years in the Fire Service, 30+ years as a machine shop owner, 20 years of professional motorcycle racing I don't know if I have any feelings left to hurt. That is not a challenge! Really, there are too many variables...

John: I have been rereading this thread to carefully craft a response. As I have stated I have found that much fuel dilution, normally in an engine with some type of catastrophic failure which I have the engine to repair or rebuild. Yes fuel dilution occurs, and at different percentages at...

As a professional first responder I have seen this before, with less than positive outcomes, glad you made it. Yes I would buy again, as matter of fact I already have, my wife's 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Outland w/ED. My Laramie/Longhorn has been a wonder and that is saying a lot from a guy who...

I bought my 2014 used with 20K on the clock a little over a year ago, now has 61K, got the CAT and DPF replaced under warranty and other than the mileage drop after the flash reprogram with the oil grade change I have had no real issues. The codes for Service Throttle have proven to be nothing...

Certainly. We use a B G products transmission flush machine which utilizes a double fluid containment system, one for new fluid and one for old fluid. Vehicle is raised on a lift. A transmission line to cooler is uncoupled and the flush machine is coupled in line. Manufacturer dependent the...

Same basic instructions we have in the shop, courtesy of ZF, however if properly Flushed, all fluid is removed from system, if you simply drop the pan/filter you will only remove approx. 2L of ATF vs. the 9L capacity. 50K service is an excellent service goal. I have heard and seen online the...

Not sure, best to check the websites for both mentioned aftermarket suppliers, D&J has videos, Labor unknown most posters are some level of DIYers.

MANN filters, supplier, but should be available online sourcing, WIX fuel and oil from Bumper to Bumper Auto stores. Cost $24 to $20.

Would like to address a couple of points brought up on the thread. My 2014, only transmission related glitch is when slowing to a stop if I do not come to a complete stop, California rolling stop, when I get back into the throttle I experience a hard shift from 2nd to 1st, which was...

Just spent seven hours behind the wheel of mine. The air ride is awesome, self lowering for aerodynamics, raise for Off Road. To MHarrison you might check the weight of trailer, my owners manual has a note about trailers over 5K lbs. require load leveling hitch. I haven't pulled that heavy yet...

Faithful maintenance schedule. Enjoy your truck I love mine.

Good Dealer makes all the difference to quality repair and care. Good Luck.

I bought my 2014 used, 20K miles, and I did my normal fuel system service and got the ETC right after filling up, limped home and scanned truck with my home scanner finding no abnormalities, reset and still found no abnormalities. Just a couple of months later another fuel system service and...

My 2014 now has 57K miles, no real issues except I also am experiencing intermittent failure of the Cruise Control button. Great truck.

It doesn't seem like its been over a year ago when I bought my 2014 eco used, have put about 37,000 miles on it to date. I have experienced some of the code issues that other have related but being a mechanic I have the luxury of investigating my own codes, so far all have been non issues...

Afe makes an excellent product. The WIX fuel filter is now in stock (not special order) and I switched at my last oil change with no issues. Price $20.00 at Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts.

Awesome. The Valvoline Maxlife is a good product, we use the BG full synthetic ATF. The dealer price is what I was referencing, dealer wants $250 to flush. Our cost alone for ATF for flush is around $125 so the dealer flush price is appropriate but the pan drop, filter change is a little high...

I will echo BoostN sentiments. I have experienced this code several times myself, oddly just after fueling? Anyway being a mechanic I carry a scan tool with me for just such occasions. According to FCA's own diagnostic tree (algorithm) you clear code and attempt to repeat code, if engine is...

Maybe Jeep was just more paranoid? Yes there are several aftermarket additional fuel filters available, however most filter to a larger particular size than the OEM spec, 5micron vs. 3micron, so I would be careful to identify the filter specification for particulate size. I am looking into a...
