Z. The fanatical EPA and the current Admin were served a BIG blow buy the SC, they no longer can just set near 0 Measures or make wild claims like External EGR are required.... Once this is challenged in COURT the EPA will lose, it to risky for them to pursue right now. The current Lie-O-Cratic...
The problem with CP4 (regardless of Ver) its unforgiving and very destructive unlike the CP3. Feed the CP4 with good lube and clean fuel it can reach 500K miles, why do I say that, because I have confirmed that on several CP4 replacements.
I would not trust anyone other than trained Techs for OAs... Big truck Shops have specific methods to gather the sample, The One Sample that shows High level of Sodium is because I did NOT brake clean My Fumoto Drain Valve and just the residual MN salt on the exterior surface on the valve from...
OAs will allow time for decision(s)...We used them for years, never has a trend been false, also you do NOT condemn powerplants on 1 result, at times they are flukes. If the motor goes out of production you're really screwed, It's not like millions have been produced for the aftermarket to jump...
Its a Hero / Zero Motor, If the entire rotating mass is machined and tight tolerances are met it will last with proper maintenance. You still need to deal with all the other short comings on the 3.0VM. Is it worth the risk to You?
Its likely that the New Hurricane Motor will end the VM 3.0...
Ryan check out that head...if the valves are warped. It's very common on OEM heads.. also I'd that plenum is gunk up replace it...here's what happens the swirl valves get all cake up stopping the cooler air from entering the intake port...the valves get hot from lack of incoming air.
We'll its to late to tell Ya, this is not the engine for remote operation. leaving it sit for 3 months creates all sorts of problems, and likely will required someone who knows the work arounds.... AK is a long ways from MN.
First check the in tank pump, remove the COV Cascade overflow valve...
John the required additive Ratio to make a difference is 4oz per gallon, Your better off buying Bio-diesel and adding NO additives when possible. Check you local station drop sheets for Bio-diesel, in the Midwest its everywhere. MN is 20% Biodiesel May 1 to Oct 31 and Nov 1 to April 30 3%.
If it was repalce under the 5 Years 100K mile warranty and purchased in 2016 Your warranty ended at the 5 Year Mark. You now join the 1000+ of others on 3rd motor.
Hmmm never seen a CP4 throw " Check Electronic Throttle Control" on the screen. and oil pressure light" generally it triggers Rail Pressure codes.... and there's NO Aluminum Parts that rotate in the Direct Injection fuel system use on any Ram 3.0VM ( more like metallic debris). only the...
AO Oil Analysis, Thier are reports of 2020+ failures, improved possibly resolved NOT likely. Its very over engineered power plant, The exhaust after treatment and EGR system was dropped by most other DSL power plant makers. Once the Hurricane motor starts production that will end the 3.0 VM on...
It's too late for my words of don't buy it...Do NOT treat it like the LLY, The Duramax LLY engine is 100 times more reliable. So don't keep it past warranty IMO. It will not like Grocery getting So in long term ownership it will cost $$$$ in repairs. They seem to do OK in 90% HWY use.
The...
