well, it's an eco diesel forum so....

I was offered to buy a 2019 Ram Quad Cab in Longhorn trim, 4x4 with the V6 and lots of nice optional goodness at just 32k, 15k off. My truck is an HFE with vinyl upholstery with no options so with a trade difference of 14k after 4 years and 77k miles, I am jumping. If you want to know why your...

12 bucks for two LED bulbs and another 6 for resistors. I let the dealer do the 4 free oil changes and they have not seen it since!

Hopefully it is the module and not an individual plug. You have a '19?

even better!

what is HER? I would go with the Sofa King tune and yes, get the 2nd ECM. That way you have one for future dealer trips.

77k miles. I had a rear light bulb blow out. That's it.

I am not saying it is absolutely 100% but no one has said it has not worked to clean the EGR diffuser tube and the MAP sensor. The ones who do report back say it fixes the issue. So this seems to be a reliable fix. Be careful removing the MAP sensor. Pull it straight out after you remove the...

I believe SFT sells to California. I also believe GDE checks registration of the VIN so that Arizona thing would fail.

Call FCA customer service, tell them your problem and ask them to approve the repair. The number is in your manual.

true. But there is a good argument to be made that any repair that should now be covered has a coverage date as of the date the agreement was signed by FCA, way back in January. Before that you would be at the mercy of FCA.

I like the Pentastar engine. It has plenty of horsepower for me and gets 24 mpg on the highway. Dealer here is selling new 2019 Ram Longhorn 4wd, quad cab that I like, etorque Pentastar with a sticker at 47k for 32.5k. I think I may make the jump myself - my eco HFE has vinyl with power...

Get an extended warranty to cover you if the engine goes. It is the only protection against a 10k repair bill. Since it's a diesel do the normal blow-by test. Pull the oil fill and with the engine running see if any air is coming out of the hole. Light breez hardly enough to move a tissue is...

Are you the original owner or could they be waiting on the original owner to file first?

You can do the ECM purchase option and keep your ECM. $500.00 upcharge, but worth it if you want to be able to easily get dealer warranty service in the future.

what is the common problem TC?

no argument on a zero build. No argument on a hero build. But maybe on a 80% build. And as I say, it is my theory.

I don't go by miles. The Ram's oil minder is some very good tech that considers your use of the vehicle. If no tune, I would take it to 50% life and then change it.

I am going to give you my theory on what can be done to avoid some engine failures, but not all. I am not saying this is the solution to an improperly assembled truck, but I think this is part of the solution to reduce engine wear on a truck that has a known history of (weak? bad?) main...

TC, I do not support deleting except for those who understand the risks. I think the DPF and DEF SCR systems are good tech that help us all breath clean air. If someone wants to delete the emissions equipment on their truck they know that the warranty is done, finished, caput!
