    2015 3.0 Ecodeisel a hazard

    Sorry no. I am one of the anachronisms that is old enough to still like to read a hard copy print format. I have the magazine in question on the desk at the shop. I am sure that the publisher has a web presence but I am unaware of it. I thought it was quite relevant in the discussion of engine...

    Yes, I mentioned it in another thread. Article stated exactly why I had already decided to switch to the CJ4 standard oil when I purchased my 2014 used. With all the members who use fuel analysis it was amazing to me that no one had caught the symptom long ago. Your engine issues may be more...

    2015 3.0 Ecodeisel a hazard

    I am going to side with TC on this one, as an article in the May Diesel Power magazine relating to the oil change in the ED, which a FCA engine development engineer stated that the oil change was due to fuel dilution levels being unacceptably high in the ED. Stated reason, the regen cycle...

    How many miles on your ecodiesel and have you had any problems?

    Hate to jinx it, but 2014 now with 45,000+ miles. Warranty replaced DPF and CAT, occasionally get the Throttle Position System service code which results in Low Turbo Boost code, which then results in Low Injector Flow code. After scanning and reset not able to recreate for a couple or three...

    overrevvd in manual mode?

    That would be funny if it wasn't so unexpected. When we first purchased our 2014 my wife hit the shift mode trying for the Cruise Control, she got a message of "unable to perform function" which quickly went away. When I scanned for all codes there was a Transmission code of "implausible shift...

    P026C-00

    That is correct a lift pump in tank and the high pressure pump on the engine run off a camshaft gear. My 2014 shot the CEL within minutes of a fuel fill up out of town with no running issues. When I got home to my shop I read the same code, looked up running issues and fixes, since I had no...

    FCA working on a new Inline 6 Diesel

    Agreed! Timeline, it took three to five years to transfer technology from a GM project to an FCA project. I read about possible RAM 1/2 ton diesel as far back as 2009. The same emissions issues would appear on both platforms. After reading all the EPA documents, much berated on other topic...

    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    They use the same systems and procedures as that is mandated by EPA, big difference is they use a proprietary ECM, FCA in both the Cummins and ED use a BOSCH ECM which is the same ECM that VW used. EPA, by their own statements, is "investigating any and all users of the this ECM". So EPA is...

    Dealer wouldn't update my 2015 TCM today or do the Rotella switch

    Actually the dealer I bought the truck at wants $250.00, we have since changed dealers.

    What should I watch for as a new owner

    I have a 2014 and yes I got a new catalyst and DPF on a recall, but other than that the normal nitpicking stuff fixed under warranty. Dome lights go dim, replaced, air leak at drivers side door upper rear corner, only on cross wind, dealer could not duplicate. Go figure. Man, I was a Chevy guy...

    Dealer wouldn't update my 2015 TCM today or do the Rotella switch

    The lowest dealer cost for oil change on the ED here is $200.00, I did it myself for out of pocket expense of $99.00 so your cost of $110 is a pretty good deal. Our Dodge dealer will make the multiple oil change reduced price for my wife's Charger but not for my ED. Go figure!

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Well guy's all the filters we have in stock are made in Germany. However the MANN-HUMMEL GMBH website does state that all MANN filters are made in plants worldwide, so our filters (include MOPAR rebrand) could very well be produced in a China facility. Just the luck of the draw I guess. Our MANN...

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Wow! I will check our inventory, we have not checked a label in a long time. Company owner had toured the plant in Europe on a trip to England a few years back and we assumed production was still there. WIX has a part number for the oil filter and a special order for the fuel filter, both USA...

    Dealer wouldn't update my 2015 TCM today or do the Rotella switch

    I was able to get a dealer go flash my 2014, wish I had not. The shift points are at a higher RPM which causes some issues for me, such as holding 7th gear at 55mph with a resulting reduction in fuel mileage. I have had the transmission hold 7th until 70 mph for several seconds, with a further...

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Confused? MANN is a European filter manufacturer, we use them in our Land Rover, Mercedes, and BMW owners. Also industry statement that MANN is the manufacturer of the rebrand to MOPAR.

    Cheating Emissions Lawsuit filed against FCA and Cummins

    My take exactly. The Class Action Suit filed against FCA was exactly the conjecture that since VW did it with BOSCH then FCA MUST be doing it. The suit against Audi says the same thing. Basically anyone using the most popular ECM Module will be a target for these profit mongers. Whether it is...

    New tires

    Sorry this vehicle will probably only see snow and ice usage and our gravel driveway. I do plan on putting the same tires on my 95 Chevy Z71 which does see some off-road, but that may be a month or two down the road, so sorry I can't make an evaluation at this time. KUMHO makes the tire and its...

    Cheating Emissions Lawsuit filed against FCA and Cummins

    After reading the EPA NOV I find it very difficult to draw a correlative conclusion that FCA "violations" would draw any response other than corrective action and Administrative fines. I see no avenue for VW to sue FCA or EPA for inappropriate sanctions as these are apples and oranges type of...

    EcoDiesels now under scrutiny for emissions defeat device?

    OK having read the EPA NOV (Notice of Violation), will try to get the link to show here no "cut & paste" option, the EPA alleges 8 AECD's, emission control defeat conditions. 1. Full EGR shut-off at highway speed. 2. Reduced EGR with increasing vehicle speed (acceleration) 3. EGR shut-off for...
