Follow post 21, But I here Ya, it actually should use much more to Meet COC. DEF at 67/33% (%) is NOT needed for 95% of actual driving, API is hand holding with EPA and the climate fanatics.
OK ,Robert it does sadden me to Make such statements , I bleed DSL and I had great expectations of this engine.
Just to be fair 6.7 Cummins Turbo actuator is problematic, So I carry a spare in the Truck at all times, With My Alfa and MX.
I begged Fiat in Late 2016-2017+ to change out the...
I have lost count on the same event happening to 3.0VM owners, In My 40 years career in DSL repair why do 1/2 Buyers NOT investigate before buying? or even after the purchase. loving objects is something that should require years of faithful service First......
$8000.00 somewhat High its about...
If it hits 100% limp mode will result, Do You have the skill and the tools to force stationary De-soot? if not acquire the skill and buy Alfa-OBD MX2. place the truck in De-soot mode at least twice then change the oil.
Does the tune shut-down DEF system? If not it will still consume DEF.
If you have 2014-16 you are able to run 90% Distilled water,10% Urea/DEF , those years only have a common senor for DEF, 2017 -21 have Quality sensor that's triggered at 23% or less, just Mixed 2.5 Gallons DEF to 1 Gallon...
Ram now has Token flashing, That means, even changing the VIN will not change the date and latest Part# for both Module and OS.
The mileage will mis-match.
I don't see WHY Dealer or Ram would be concerned with the change UNLESS the motor required major repairs or puked.
This is Ram's latest...
Here, I will use your methods.
The 3 Most Common Duramax L5P Engine Problems

OK......... I see why You have no problems, its Your observations and connections.
Social LMBO , its the same media that praises the VM 3.0....Its already cost (Estimated) Fiat 4.5 $Billion in losses, yet , many on social Media claim its a good power plant. These are the (Only) Sources...
Fireline....That's not acceptable to Me, A large part of WHY your having such a go of it with FCA is because of the its OK generation. These failures are acceptable because of low level of acceptance.
The product is the root cause Fireline, its failure rates are pushing Stellantis to tighten...
LMBO, Forums are the worst place to gage a motor Status .
The VM 3.0 is the poster child for the how forum ratings are misleading.
The electronic media uses feeling to control their thought patterns.
Should I do some paste & copy... Hmmm I'm on My second engine love the Truck ,Hmmm the Turbo...
Injectors....fail at the same Rate as any other HPCR system, the difference is removal time for 1 Injector is the same as all 4 on that side. The HP4 is just as fragile as any HPCR pump when poor fuel is used, the only exception to this is CP3/CP6.
Fireline, GM will fair no better, The LP5 motor with Denso Fuel system for repairs cost more and Wait times considerably longer.
V8 DSL in long term ownership costs are much higher then current Cummins 6.7. If you can wait Truck cost are shocking high as of NOW.
Rumor has it the 6.7 Cummins...
Buy Alfa OBD and MX2 , Run the turbo through diagnostic tests, Place the vehicle in Stationary De-soot with hood open, observe the engine behavior while preforming these tasks.
You also may have boost leak somewhere.
I do support the mechanic in that guessing just sucks up your wallet, but it...
You should NOT just blindly hope for the Best, Hope is NOT a plan of action. " Pay attention will suck up your Bank account" If the Turbo pukes you will be looking at SCR, Plenum, CAC , EGR, Etc in cost of repairs.
Back in 2013 Holiday served me this Fuel, Fortunately I have auxiliary Transfer and Auxiliary filtration in addition to the Factory Direct Injection filtration.
