Assuming the truck is stock, and depending on now the vehicle has been driven, the entire intake and ports should probably be cleaned every 100,000 - 150,000 miles for optimum performance.
I'm using Rotella T6 in my 2015 and Pennzoil Platinum Euro in my 2020. Once I use up all my Pennzoil stock, then I'm plan to switch to Rotella T6 in the 2020. I just changed the oil in my 2020, so this isn't an updated picture.
If your truck isn't throwing any codes (no check engine light), then the system isn't detecting a problem. The EcoDiesel has enough sensors that it usually lets you know when there's a major problem. There shouldn't be any visible smoke coming from your tailpipes, though. I just don't have...
That's sad. Just a year ago a new OE intake was $220 dollars. It's now over $700. It's getting ridiculous. I'm hoping that prices drop again, but I have my doubts, at least not for another year.
It was $6,400 before inflation became a problem, plus free shipping and no core charge. Just like everything else, it's going up too. Anyway, the price is now $7,895. Here's the link: https://moparpowertrain.com/product/5158048af-3-0l-eco-diesel-complete-running-engine/
Yup, it's under the intake. You have two options. You can either replace the entire line with another OE part or you can just replace the rubber hose with a high temperature hose. Since you have 278,000 miles on your engine, you may consider buying a new engine, or saving money for a new...
It's fairly common for the turbo coolant hose to leak on higher mileage engines. The leak is typically the short rubber hose attached to the hard line.
@Jaski, as long as you're under the AEM warranty, then yes, you're covered. In your case, it doesn't sound like you have any warranty left. If the AEM software was installed at 200,000 miles, then your warranty expired at 248,000 miles.
"The warranty term is the greater of (i) 10 years from...
As long as you are still under the AEM warranty, then yes, you are covered.
"The warranty term is the greater of (i) 10 years from the date of initial sale or 120,000 actual miles on the vehicle odometer, whichever comes first; and (ii) 4 years or 48,000 miles from the date and mileage of...
Call the EcoDiesel settlement and speak to one of their attorneys. They will get it resolved. The other option is to contract Ram Cares. They too will resolve the issue.
I run Platinum DEF. It's a synthetic and doesn't leave deposits like normal DEF. I had a clogged DEF injector on my 2015 three years ago. That's when I switched to Platinum.
