Don there is no clear fix. Just slow down, take your time. Let it cool if comes down to it. I tow a fair amount of weight with mine. I have never seen oil temps over 242. I use crankcase flush just before each oil change to clean out the oil heat exchanger/cooler and turbo lines. Also run 5w40...

Check the o-ring on your map sensor. Make sure it is not broken and the sensor is seated fully. If it is broken or not seated it will suck air in. Not saying it is the issue, but could be part of a larger problem.

Did you replace the three way valve with a Mopar or a knockoff brand in an attempt to save a few bucks? Cheaper valves seem to be faulty/problematic. Even the four seasons brand does not do well with this engine.

I have to agree with TC. Sounds like they got you. Can I ask what you are out? $$

Gotcha. My factory warranty is up in 500 miles. I'll probably remove the junk too.

Man you're asking for trouble. Any good mechanic would be able to drop any motor in any car as long as there's room, but you might consider putting the 3.0L straight six in there. It'll be a lot more reliable. But the eco diesel, I'd pass. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the one I have.

How does removing the def increase the mileage? That's like replacing the tires to get brighter headlights. Doesn't make sense. Are you talking about the DPF/EGR system?

I believe your code is an exhaust leak. Use tow haul mode. It helps your transmissions life span. If you do not use it, you can risk burning it up. As far as limp mode, I do not know.

Was it the EGR?

You will get a good reading just after you drive it. Freshly charged from the alternator. Let it sit overnight then get your multimeter out in the morning and check it. It will not have to the same reading in the morning if it is going bad. I'm not saying it is the case with yours but it will...

The battery was a Mopar battery from the dealer. They said it will last a good five years like the original. Comparing it to the parts houses, you will come off better with a deal battery when you consider the length of warranty.

What was the temperature?

I had a very similar problem with mine. I called the dealer. They said when the battery voltage gets low it somehow screws with the controls. My battery read 11.8 volts. It was 5 years old. I checked it myself. Drove to the dealer and had the replace the battery. Everything went back to normal...

It's probably time for a transmission filter. It is a good idea to service it at regular intervals. I do mine ever 50k on all my vehicles. You might give it a try. DIY about $450. Either way at your mileage it's a good idea.

Oh they're replacing a lot more than just the EGR. Okay that makes a little more sense but if that's the main cause, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Sounds like you need a new dealer.

That does not make sense. You had it replaced under the recall (free), but you had to pay for the replacement?

That's crazy. John I did not know that. I was under the impression that the same parts were used. My dealer said they are including all the eds since the parts were on them. All I know is what I was told. Makes me wonder what else is inaccurate.

I was wondering how long they last. What is your mileage and year?

Pull the tube from the EGR to the intake manifold. If it's wet, it's the EGR. If not look at the line I told you about. The cracked EGR is why they have the recall. They should replace it no question.
