    Regen

    NO........ You still will be creating Soot, if you cannot drive HWY 15% at 8 Miles plus problems will develop, In other words 24 miles city Stop and go require 8+ miles Hwy Speeds. or your Bank Account will be taking big withdraws in long term Ownership.

    Ecodiesel engine failure

    I just don't sponsor pulling wagons (Van) with 1/2 Tons far and fast over 6000, its just not enough Iron IMO. That being said 55MPH on flats and skill at pulling is up to the individual. Take the 6000+ wagon (Van) across ND,SD,MT,WY,UT,ID,MN,IA on 30+ Winds will diffidently change your mind...

    Ecodiesel engine failure

    The 3.0 Seems to do OK in HWY, if everything checks out before you leave you should be OK, I would change the lube and both Fuel and oil filters, and make sure you have ALFA+ the MX OBDII. On Edit, The 2016 will allow lower concentrations of DEF Mix 2 Gallons Distilled water to every 1 Gallon...

    Exhaust filter 100% full Service Required

    Dirty fuel filter related to DPF % is equal to a hurricane in MN in January. The fuel creates the soot that plugs the DPF, lack of Fuel= less Soot, Plus lack of fuel would lower the Fuel PSI to the Point the COV in The CP4 would stay closed, and the Truck would NOT start or have performance...

    Fuel Particulate Filter

    Yep...gofishingup, Their are the naysayers but in the end, at some point the 3.0VM sucks on your Bank account into 1000s in long term ownership in DD Use. HWY use reduces the risk considerably and missing parts is mandatory in long term ownership.

    Alpha or Taser for minor programming

    The ALPHA can be used on any Ram 2006+ The Tazer looks appealing, I could not find the option to Stationary De-soot on the Tazer IMO that's required for all 3.0 Owners (ALPHA) works on all Ram 6.7 DSL's 2007.5+

    A Tune won't change what failed, and if it is a new engine who knows who rebuild it, The 2014-19 motor is out of Production.

    DEF pump out at 42k miles

    No its NOT, unless it the Urea sensor, and that's NOT the pump. In the end they will be asking for another $500.00 for the DEF Injector thats integrated in the Mixing Chamber and the Mixing Chambers another $600.00. Why do Ecodiesel Owners allow themselves to be Shafted?, Its like owning the...

    Guide to buying a used 2nd gen ecodiesel

    I returned My 2015 3.0VM for 2019 Ram Limited 5.7, The limited a Keeper, Great Mileage comfort and ride. On a serious note The 3.0VM is problematic, I will not buy another 1/2 (Ram) Ton/1500 until they change the powerplant to more robust, dependable engine. Less parts upgrade definitely lower...

    CEL and Codes After Oil Change

    Trans, Coolant, Oil, Temps are Actual and it would seem the 3-way Coolant Valve is working correctly, The Oil PSI is L-O-M and should never be trusted.

    Should I buy an Eco-Diesel?

    Its not Ram reliability, its VM Motori of Cento Italy. The 2017 Does Not have AEM warranty so its your problem and cost at 100K Miles or 5 years. They seem to do OK in HWY use, mixed use and you will have problems. Its very timely and costly to Own VM products when they fail.
