John, That work both ways, I know of owners on 3rd & 4th Motors that have never type a single letter at any forum. Weather You believe the VM 3.0 % of problems out weigh its benefit, it Numbers are dropping , its only Time before Fiat Dumps VM for another power plant or The Diesel Ram 1/2...

The problem is the Truck will self-level, when in tow with battery connected, Even when you place the truck in Exist/Entry or any mode except transport. No thanks I leave My Air ride on its internal rubber stops when in tow. You are welcome to tow how you like...... W/WO Battery connected and...

If the Shaft nut is TQ correctly its not necessary, DJ's in UT has the fix, Last I heard its required to bring the engine to them. If your that concerned you can remove the CP4 and Check the TQ on gears CP4 and Cam/Drive Bolt/Nut.

I have 1500s, I sold my 2015 VM.30 and replace it with 2019 5.7 Limited, it out tows the VM 3.0 in city towing I used it in. At the GVW I would Buy 2500, I rarely tow with My 1500s, once you tow with more iron its more safer and enjoyable. The VM 3.0 has performed OK in HWY use , even...

I would disconnect the Battery before towing anyways, with doors unlocked, if you have air ride that need to be set at transport mode. If disconnecting in Your opinion is to much hassle buy and install disconnect ground switch.

In a lease theirs no advantage to the VM 3.0 Vs 5.7L the $3200.00 less cost in itself makes it unattractive Plus all the risk of AECD that are known to be problematic for the VM 3.0, The Eco has been removed form all of FCA and VM all campaigns it now call just a diesel for good reason. My...

I just don't believe what Ram Cares Says, its this simple its the Dealer that does the repair, Ram cares is NO more then a spokesman for Fiat, has has little to no control at the Dealer level. I do share your views on how screwed up things have become on the 3.0VM.

My Sources state You can opt out but... NO AEM warranty or repairs until CAA COC. Only the OEM warranty, My guess is if you wait and your tone Ring fails, and the New update is available you will get the new parts and flash, We are talking only 2014-16 3.0s? 2018+ are all CAA complaint. So...

Its no surprise.....the Powerplant is supplied by VM Cento Italy. All The R/D is done their then transmitted to the N/A Branch to implement and execute. That leaves a lot of speculation for interpretation.

One's software Flash so the OP can use the Cam sensor to operate Injection events, the other is for Parts and labor.

I will the next time I open My Tech Authority Account, Fiat Charges for the time used today. If I was 25+ Years Younger I would open brick and Mortar Stores again, The whole darn repair Industry is lacking Skill and Knowledge. The Dealerships That I'm vested In takes Billions $$$, Some people...

Its My understanding that Vehicle's that are NOT AEM 2014-16 certified cannot have any recalls performed, the reason being its against the Settlement to perform work on any non-Approved vehicle. Example: If AECD are decommissioned it violates the agreement, it would be liken to releasing a...

2019s are exempt from the AEM, with the same flaws 2014-16, its likely your 2019 is just a re-flashed/Badged 2017.

Fill cold and mark the level then drive until warmed up and mark the Hot level and keep an eye on it, Do You have OAs? if the sodium is high or getting higher, or .01 or higher Antifreeze % , Trade it in.

Yes...... And remove that worthless sound foam and the CP4 cover. Practice good engine hygiene also.

Some owners I've talk too related that the the engine develop a surge or pulsating at start, would diminish as you drove, This leads Me in believing the valve(s) were warped just prior to the Fire. The turbo and leaking oil is another common fire starter. There has been decommissioned AECD...

The EGR is is only 1 of 4 causes of the fires , They are Turbo, Plenum, electrical, EGR, the majority of fires in My investigation are Plenum related due to soot accumulations and Valve warping, this causes the Flame to enter the intake after the combustion Stroke. Melt the plenum and ignite.

Joe, You need a fire Truck, One owner had two EXTINUISHERS and garden hose, He was lucky it did NOT burn down his House. He had just enough Time to back it out of the Garage before the electronic shifter lock up in Park. Once The Fire burns up the wiring it defaults to Lock/Park.

Joe, I myself Do crash and fire Investigations, Although ONLY on Commercial/Hazmat Crashes / incidents I have 100s of 3.0VM Fires/ pictures, I also Public posted that the Update would NOT stop the ALL the fire's Joe ,I will Share this with You, most 3.0VM owners Turn a blind eye to all of the...

I posted reply were the filter can be purchased For $50.00, or mod the cap and use the 2014-19 , it seems it was removed or deleted. I'm out.....
