After having read the entire legal filing, I too have to submit that there are no factual accusations within the filing. Only subjective statements of VW and BOSCH did it so FCA must be too. Now the rub. The BOSCH ECM is the most refined and most used ECM system by all manufacturers. That being...

Actually I did and with mixed results. The DIC shows a request for 8th while still in 7th for about 30 seconds before an actual up-shift, but if any additional pressure is applied to throttle, transmission down-shifts to 7th. So little help. According to GDE their tune does not affect the TCM...

I have waited to post on the oil flash results until I had a consistent mileage history, well I think I have sufficient history with me and my wife driving. My average has settled out at 22mpg. My observation is, considering new tires, colder weather, we both have noticed that the shift points...

I haven't had this issue. I will say that when I asked the Dealer about map updates I was informed it was all online, load update onto thumb drive and load onto system. It does sound like your Dealer is the best bet since the Dealer when you are traveling doesn't feel any allegiance to you as...

Wow that is a common gas engine code, normal actors coil, plugs, injectors, but with the diesel it would at first blush be a possible injector issue. Recommend Dealer since you only have 12K miles on the clock. I haven't had this issue. Good luck.

OK 3K miles later the tires got smoother over the small bumps, creases, joints, etc. A couple of downpours and the wet traction is stellar. Ride is good enough that my daughter put the same tires on her KIA Sorento this week. Since I put on the new tires I added K&N air filter and flash program...

Oh Yah, small wrinkle in right front bumper, hey I will take full responsibility, couldn't stand seeing it every time I got in the truck. And the wife was really miffed. Got it fixed by Dealer $500 deductible. I really did not want to mess with sensors and paint match, really good job by the...

With a little research, according to FCA this code should be allied with the Coolant valve sticking in open position in relation to either a 5.7L gas engine or the 8HP70 transmission. Since this is in relation to a ED I would go first to the Transmission TCM, that big finned box on the...

Dag nad it! John you are correct, I do have that backwards. My apologies. I had just finished reading the complete Class Action court filing and was a little aggravated. Thanks for the catch.

My experience has been that if the Service Engine light is flashing then it is a "soft code" and vehicle can be driven without issue, however if the Service Engine light goes solid then the best recommendation is to have vehicle towed to dealer, as it may go into "limp home mode"

I am driving the dreaded 2014 and I am totally pleased, after finding a dealer that knew what they are doing. Pulled my last months fuel economy numbers with my low of 22mpg and high of 26.5mpg. This with a variety of driving both in town and highway and combinations of all. I have had some...

I have had the recall performed on my 2014, would not have known about it except I had solid MIL and I scanned the code and found the recall on this and other outlets. Truck runs the same. Parts were in stock at Regional Distribution Center took a week to get to the Dealer and about 4 hours to...

EPA surface water control was against counsel of the Army Corp of Engineers and Coast Guard who jointly control "the waters of the United States" much like the FBI they themselves admit that they cannot do their present job without more agents or authority. So "I am from the government I am here...

From what I have read in the Trades the EPA has placed all Light Duty Diesels back through certification process. Even to the extent of renting existing vehicles for comparison testing. At last reading only one major manufacturer approved, but grapevine supplies that Ford has been approved and...

My wife's 2013 Charger also has a capless system. Noticed Geno's Garage has a nice aluminum green anodized dust cover in their latest catalog. I plan on ordering, keeping the $.15 plastic cap until it arrives.

Update, I have noticed the best mileage on the long runs, 3hrs, my best mileage on trip from Skiatook OK to Plano TX. I noted a 1 mpg loss with my new tires, have not compared tire weight or rolling resistance numbers. I have noted lower mileage at speeds above 75mph. For me I am quite...

Well according to my purchase dealer the oil spec change is only for the 2016 models. However we can read the disparity in information flow in the FCA dealership network. One note my wife's 2013 Charger has experienced the key FOB deny issue along with additional bugaboos which entailed...

Old school hand figure each tank. Also use a Corp. fuel card and I print out a report monthly when I pay the bill online to double check. My daughter uses Fuel Minder on her phone, the format looks good, it displays daily, monthly, and annual usage for $ and mpg also can track total historical...

Cash and financing! Still have my 95 Chevy Z71 with 360K on original drive line, yah lately when attempting to pass at 70mph it downshifts and slows down. Also I don't wash the mud off cause then the rust will fall off. I did sell a 2006 Ford F150 4X4, Crew that I bought from my daughter and...

Three days of light to moderate rain without a complaint. Although without that raining cats & dogs thunderstorm wet traction is still a partial unknown.
