    R.I.P. EcoDiesel / NEVER EV

    I'd like to see that - what's the timeframe of that going national?

    R.I.P. EcoDiesel / NEVER EV

    Next year's model is getting the Straight-6 Hurricane engine. In all honesty, it's a smart move. Thanks to the EPA clearly proving it has no clue how diesel engines work, the diesel engine's days are numbered being deliberately poisoned with EGR valves. I bought mine back in September, and in...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Latest update : I cannot get the dealership to confirm or deny power to the pump - they seemingly ignore me telling them that I had removed the fuel pump relay bypass wire before it was sent over there (something I specifically, and repeatedly told them so they can find the fault and fix that as...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Small update : The fuel pump, filter housing, and filter were changed to the tune of $3,000+ dollars. They told me just before New Years that it didn't solve the problem. They have yet to confirm if power is even getting to the pump since I took off the fuel pump relay bypass before taking it...

    Engine failure

    I think it was another thread on these forums, but it was confirmed that GM owns 50% of VM Motari, and their logo was on the oil caps. The 2.8L Duramax is their collab engine too. The thing I find a little strange is these engines on the other side of the pond supposedly don't have the multitude...

    Engine failure

    The failure is generally caused by the EGR system sending soot down the intake, which will eventually clog up the runners, work its way down to the cylinders, score the walls, get down into your oil pan, clog up the main bearings, and seize up the engine. This is what happens when idiots with...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    I damn-near had a heart-attack just now. I finally received word from the dealer about what's going on with my truck - they've had it for 2 weeks now. This is what they dropped on me : Our technician was able to identify the concerns with your check engine light. We were able to duplicate the...

    FCA. HPFP RECALL

    I was told 5 month backorder on the parts - mine's in for something else so I told them to just add me to the list.

    CamShaft failure related to Bosch CP4 fuel pump failure????

    I was told at the dealer today that the HPFP is part of a newly issued recall this year - may want to inquire about that before they stick you for 18-hundo. From what they told me, the parts are a 5-month backorder though so it might be a while.

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    As coincidence would have it, there was - recently issued but it's for the cam-driven high pressure pump. There's a 5 month backorder on it, but I told them to put me on the list. Truck's at the dealer now - they can't get into it for 3-4 days due to the backlog, but I made friends with the new...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Update : Well, I built the bypass harness yesterday and ran out to my truck at my shop this morning. Popped the cable on, still no fuel pump whine. Twist the key and it has a runaway crank as usual until I key it off (what I mean by this is I turn the key to start and let go so its in 'run' but...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    ...so now after seeing this video a few times I've realized the TIPM on my 16 is laid out differently than this. I've written the creator of the video to ask if they are aware of this or if there's updated info for the later models. This absolutely sounds like the problem I've experienced twice now.

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Okay, so I've had a few hours to calm down and think about this rationally, and it sounds like this problem is pretty common with a LOT of Mopars from 07 to 21. :cautious: There are lot of videos about TIPM fuel pump relay bypasses and the like - I'm guessing this is what the wire someone ran...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    I bought my `16 9 weeks ago. About two weeks ago, I take my dad out for his 87th birthday for his usual beer and chili. When we leave the pub, the truck would crank over and over and over and not stop until I keyed it to the "off" position (imagine a runaway starter). If I turned the key to ACC...

    Your oil pressure numbers

    I grew up in the age of building Small-block Chevy engines in your garage for a friend with nothing more than a couple manuals, a few JC Whitney & Jeggs magazines, a few websites on the screen, a couple packs of cigarettes and about 100 2-liter bottles of Dr. Pepper, then later beer as I got...

    Soft "De-coking" of the top end...

    I went ahead and pulled apart the top end yesterday - my insulator and engine cover weren't with the truck when I bought it so I had a miniscule head start. The T40 bolt holding the map sensor wasn't hard to get out and the sensor itself wasn't as dirty as I anticipated. There was one blob of...

    Soft "De-coking" of the top end...

    I'm curious if anyone's come up with a method of doing a soft de-coke on the top end - you know, something like a metered fog of B12 or Seafoam at idle for a few minutes every couple of weeks to gradually eat away at the horror show most of us are certainly going to find in there. I'd love...

    Service Electronic Throttle Control.

    What a coincidence, this is exactly what I'm doing this morning! I've had the little red lightning bolt on the dash 3 times now. The first time was a week after I bought it, and it went away after keying off and doing the shopping. Keyed on, it was gone. Friday night on the way home from work...

    Greetings from a new Pasta-diesel owner

    Hello everyone, and I'm glad to have found a pretty specific group and not just the general Ram forums. I've recently acquired my 2016 Lone Star - it has 107k on it, 1k of it came from me in the last 7 weeks or so. If my username or avatar seems familiar to anyone here, I used to be fairly...
