    b&w gooseneck hitch

    Your 1180 lb payload capacity includes 300lbs of passengers and full fluids. If your going to have more than that move it to your trailer if possible. Ive had as much as 1400lbs on the ball of my truck (bumper pull) which I wouldn’t recommend but it worked fine. The factory air ride well handle...

    b&w gooseneck hitch

    With factory air ride you dont have coils just air bags so no need to upgrade the suspension. Looks like all your numbers are lined up well and it should tow great.

    b&w gooseneck hitch

    Yes it fits the ecodiesel Etrailer has confirmed that. Im going to advise being careful with the idea of towing a fifth wheel with a half ton. Fifth Wheels typically have a tongue weight of 20-25% so it would be very easy to overload your truck. Air bags or stronger rear coils would be needed as...

    ecodiesel oil in coolant

    ecodiesel oil in coolant

    The P04DB code means your truck has excessive crankcase pressure. One thing that can and well cause it is water in the oil. When the engine warms up the water turns to steam and causes excess pressure. A simple hot plate test would confirm if your oil has water in it.

    3 Months of Problems and Now sending a RAM/Chrysler Engineer

    Not trying to be negative but I would talk with the dealership owner about a buy back or trading it off. Something is wrong here and it maybe your driving conditions or style. But it's likely just something thats weird and getting overlooked. Hopefully Ram well come through and fix this for you.

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

    Actually the report is correct. The ecodiesel engine was slated for updates for 2018 anyways, so it might be a while tell we see it.

    Oil in coolant

    New oil cooler, coolant expansion reservoir, and lots of flushing. Personally I would recommend switching to an aftermarket oil cooler setup that cools the oil with air instead of coolant. Like the kit from D&J or cft performance.

    Anyone have issues with overheating after TSB update on the PCM and TCM?

    The tsb just changed programming of your ecm. It wont directly cause your overheating issues. It's possible that your egr cooler failed which can cause idle and under throttle issues. It can also cause excessive pressure on your cooling system. What does your coolant expansion tank look like...

    Grill shutter delete

    If you remove them you well need to either have them shut off via tuning. Or mount the motor out of the way and limits its swing.
