Data High levels of Wear metals, Iron , Alum, cooper. here's a good report form My 2015 . Do NOT condemn any power plant on one or two bad reports, it MUST be a Trend, of increasing wear levels.

Why Not Thomas16 know what health and condition of your rotating mass. Most fleet owners do OAs from new and in many cases it adds to the value when selling or trading.

No..... It's just that in a few very rare cases the 2n and even 3rd Motors have failed, OAs will tell if it's a hero or zero Rotating Mass...its inherited risk all VM3.0 owner incur. I do find it alarming that most VM3.0 ignore OAs as being necessary, In the Decades of using OAs as the...

Thomas16, The loss of time is something that ALL VM3.0 have to prepared for, Also when you get that New Motor Buy a Six Pack of OAs sample kits and the fumoto Valve. Of course, this is contingent on You doing your own service, Please Keep in Mind, there are VM3.0 owners on 3rd and 4th Motor.

I would Dia-electric the entire Male Connector and the face of the female side plus the grommet and Double ZIp-Tie, secure it to any face so it cannot wiggle... If that don't work, take the deal

You will Need ALFA + OBDII to add those functions, And You will find ALFA a Necessary Device owning any Ram 2006+ Don't know about the NAV.

Add fumoto F106 We have used The drain Port for years, when running, You just need use brake cleaner to clean the Valve otherwise yes, .I will post a sample of one I took W/O cleaning Sure enough My sodium was High ..We live in MN so it was no surprise to Me.

I tried that it won't change the Bold.... Well, it's working correctly now all good

Thomas16EDRam, unfortunate, what warranty is covering the $$$$, interested in knowing If you paid for extended warranty, that's another option for the VM3.0, it won't cover the away loses but sure makes the pay pill allot easier to swallow. 126 Why is My font dark.

Its the same rate of failure, I'm not going to provide My sources. This I can share, our dealership is selling 87 Gas Jeeps Rams to 1 equip with VM 3.0 DSL 2020 to Current. This ratio was 63 to 10/12 2014-early 16 it went up and down during that time but that was the ratio, Right Now we...

Hmmmm, So the 3rd Gen VM 3.0 has NO , ERG, DPF, DEF, SCR , Turbo, a completely NEW rotating assembly, The facts are 3rd Gen is even more over engineered and less developed. In long term ownership in DD use it will cost more to repair and more down time.

Donesouth don't play that Card, its your lack of concern for the OP Mlinth situation. He was NOT prepared for the cost of complete failure, left him stranded, Its overseas MFG so repairs and down time are considerably more, And what do You want him to do possibly buy another same power plant...

Its My blood and skin I left on My VM3.0 the years of baby sitting that Power plant the 4.25 Years I own it. The 100s of owners that have call Me with tears because they don't have the $5-10K for repairs without no help from Fiat. Now bring on your 2020+ My 2019 5.7L will out perform it in every...

DoneSouth..No, Not ignorant at all, The ignorant are the ones that have no clue or concern themselves with 6 Years of Failures, 4 billion in losses and the untold misery of 10,000s VM owners have suffered the last 7 Years. I just used another source that has an open mind that's intellectually...

2020-22 rate of failure is equal to 2014-19. The VM 3.0 sales continue to fall....2020 Plus are the same problems (Rotating Mass failure ) and will be more prevalent and costly as the 2024+ rolls around. https://cararac.com/blog/2022-ram-ecodiesel-problems.html

Its 50/50% if it's in the policy, Many Insurance Carriers (NOW) Only cover fuel contamination when it's related to vandalism. Just check/read Your policy.

Biodisesel Commercially refined Is the Best diesel you can put into your Tank. MN has 20% Mandatory May-Oct 3% the rest of the year, BD has come a Long ways in the last 15 Years.............

Biodiesel Nice report, If you have established trends that have the same results it's a Hero👍👍👍. Nice to see Rotella started increasing the Zinc again, I would like to see the Moly at higher levels, but it had no effect on wear with this sample, How Many Miles on the lube?

Over the decades I've seen many puke engines most are competition under extreme RPMs and load, We spec our engines to the lube we recommend, it's that tight...or loose... You don't have cranks flexing for very long Hrs or miles. Before it pukes itself to death. I'm not going into details on My...

Augiedoogy ,I would agree But The Dealership I'm Patterned with has Associated Chev Dealer and after I contacted them and ask to see if LM2 3.0 could be ordered it stated pending. Thier was 3 LM3.0s available on the lot, they are NOT selling.
