Data, I Foamed My Intake 3 Times in the 45K miles that I owned My 2015, The EGR and the Plenum needed replacement at 45K miles... 008 at 371K miles on Factory OEM virgin components seems unbelievable to Me, If 008s VM 3.0 went 371K miles HOW in the heck did this owner get this Truck to 371K...
So...You have 371K miles on ALL Factory Virgin, engine, Trans, exhaust Intake parts and ....Just to be clear...In order for Me to verifiy ..You can PM Your VIN# to so I can check the History.
1shadow You may be asking spiderman11, this is what I did.
1Shadow, being partnered FCA, it was another Ram, although My 2015 VM 3.0 never left me stranded it did require New Plenum and EGR at around 46K miles June 2019. Same time the AEM was done and returned to Dealership. It was replaced...
Early on 2014-16 2000-to 2200 Eco's per month production rate, So Most Powerplant makers would stop production at 1 Per 1000, Fiat just continue production at the likely hood of owner's failures at rate 200 times more likely than the most MFG, heck some makers are 1 per 2000 Rotating mass failure.
What! 1shadow are blind and cannot read or is it the since of it you cannot comprehend? Hmm this engine has costed Fait 5 billion in loses...countless VM 3.0 needing complete replacement in some cases months, in others leaving the owner with debt it will take years to recover..So to many...
IMO your Axle tubes are likely wrapped and cannot be fixed. Replacing the bearings will be OK just don't place more than a 400LBS in the box again for long periods of Time.
Payload, once you surpass the Vehicles GVW (Of course within Reason) overloads the vehicles ability to stop and Body roll is the main cause LOSS of control. All The Airbags Whatever, cannot change the Frame distribution of the payload.... It's a Big long explanation on weight distribution...
It's the 10% that's 99% of the time that causes all the wrecks and loss of life on North America's Roadways. Buy a truck THAT'S above your GVW PAYLOAD.
Mike46, If even if the O-ring was seated in correctly there should have been enough Lube/pressure to for the rotating mass lubrication, it certainly would not destroy the mating surfaces in 50 miles of driving. Its the same failure that has plagued VM 3.0 from 2014, its either QC or that darn...
You need the 4 digits security code, either get form the Dealer or use Alfa to get the code, and the OBD dongle to communicate with ALFA . https://alfaobd.com/
No...2020 still puke...the numbers are down because sales #s are down...You can place whatever Gen you want it's the same rotating mass....2014-22. VMs 3.0 2020+ technology is just pushing the repairs farther away from assembly, the same costs will show its ugly head.likely in 4 to 5...
No VM is current maker and started production for Ram in 2014...the engine was designed By GM, VM ,Detroit Diesel. It's original use was for European GM Caddys.. VM has been partially owned GM ,Penske ,Detroit. Fiat....Fait is currently sole owner of VM Motori.
It will eventually trigger rationale codes. In OEM operation it's a dirty filthy engine. Some do well in 90%+ Hwy Use, Mixed driving will at some point cost $$$$ in repairs.
