    AEM Flash Review

    it doesn't cover the main bearings or tranny. I wouldn't worry about the tranny but the engine I would. I know where Patrity is coming from and if this was a hemi I would blow off the warranty. But, its an eco so I would not - spend the 85 bucks.

    Official Report: 2020 EcoDiesel specs and updates

    It all depends on what you paid. Ram trucks typically sell at a large discount, usually 25 to 30% off sticker. As a result, they depreciate 40% from sticker price when you drive off the lot. So if your sticker was 60k, that would mean your trade is now worth 36k towards a new truck. If you...

    Unhappy with Performance after Emissions Recall Update

    The pro is $3,077.00 and the extended warranty. The con, in your case, is having to swap out your ECM with GDE and pay the shipping plus $50.00 to get it back to how it was. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

    The Legend of the Missing Coolant

    "My truck leaks about a quart of coolant INTERNALLY a month" (dealer says) "coolant leaking at that rate is a normal operating condition" Ha ha! I think the EGR cooler is leaking too. Remove the EGR diffuser tube and see if it is all sticky / sloppy. If it is, use a flashlight to look into...

    Bulletproofing

    All Ram warranties transfer except for the 5 year / lifetime warranty. All stated years / miles warranties transfer without having to do transfer paperwork. Here for example is their statement on their 5 yr / 100k mile warranty: What is different from your Lifetime Powertrain Limited...

    Greetings

    We have been deep into that issue lately. Seems like the best approach is to start with the glow plug module and leave those individual plugs alone as long as possible.

    2015 1500 ED with 97000 miles

    I would get to the bottom of the turbo code before I did anything else. The service electronic throttle is quick to fix by cleaning the MAP sensor. You have warranty coverage on the turbo with the extended warranty so wait to tune it until that is cleared up on Ram's dime.

    Extreme Hesitation Before Warm Up

    I think then, that the new software just makes it very slow until the truck gets hot. I would look at one of the two major engine tunes. They both eliminate turbo lag along with many other benefits.

    First time on site, 2016 ED with 25000 miles

    I would skip the full delete and get the www.sofakingtuned.com engine and trans tune. It should make you happy. Do the full delete when the warranty is gone, if you still want it.

    "Service Electronic Throttle Control"

    Others have mentioned it. I would ask them to draw out 6 ounces of fuel so it can be sent to a lab for analysis. Then, since it is the ETC error, follow the procedure in the video below. You can do this yourself or have the dealership do it for under 100 dollars. It should fix the ETC error...

    2017 Eco Diesel Caught Fire

    No automaker is going to cover a fire that burns the truck down until the insurance company sues them. No not one. Recommend the rest of you remove those foam sound insulator pads from the top of your engines & inspect your engine periodically for injector leaks.

    Did you clean the MAP sensor though?

    Ecodiesel longevity

    10.75 quarts of low cost dino oil won't do the engine a whole lot of good. But as TC Diesel will tell you, if not any other engine builder, that may cause excess engine wear but not main bearing failure. There is a significant fault in the assembly of some 7 to 9% of eco engines. It is my...

    Service Electronic Throttle Control

    Keep your MAP sensor clean too

    Extreme Hesitation Before Warm Up

    Take out the MAP sensor and EGR diffuser tube and clean them. Then report back and tell us if it worked. I think it might. Thanks!

    Nice Eco Stuff for Sale!

    I have a few things for sale. The first one is sooo frustrating. I had hoped my Revolver X2 tonneau cover would fit my new truck. But, Ram narrowed the bed rails. So this, my favorite cover ever, is for sale. It fits a 2008 to 2018 or 2019 classic Ram 1500 with the 6'4" bed. It is new...

    Unhappy with Performance after Emissions Recall Update

    maybe Sofakingtuned because turning off the EGR valve is optional. You want to turn off the EGR. Once tuned though, i understand you will still pass California emissions

    You should be good. Clean that MAP sensor and EGR tube like the dealer did every 3 months or when you do an oil change. The MAP sensor is not all that sensitive to filth on it, but being essentially a barometer it needs to be able to sense atmospheric pressure. It can't do that if it is under...
