A guy who has rebuilt a few EcoDiesel engines told me this:
"There is a texture on the factory pan that absorbs some of the RTV. If this pan does not have the texture (looks like it doesn't), then I'd say you'd probably want to go with a little less than the factory pan calls for (3 mm). I'd...
I've seen other EcoDiesel owners mount in the same spot. I agree that it's a perfect location for those who don't have tow hooks. My 2015 didn't come factory with tow hooks, but I'm thinking about adding them.
I use the block heater approximately 6 months of the year. I wish I had a quick...
A few seconds after plugging in the cord, I can hear the block heater gurgling. I could hear it on my '06 Cummins and I can hear it on my 2015 and 2020 EcoDiesel trucks.
I haven't seen pictures of the third gen engine with the intake removed, but I wouldn't be surprised if the turbo coolant hose has been removed from the engine valley.
You won't need to replace the sensor unless the tone wheel fails and takes it out. Here are two links. I don't think this is the updated tone wheel, though. I'd be looking for the new 'updated' part...
I'm in remote areas a lot of the time. Mopar covers towing under the powertrain warranty, so I haven't worried about the towing cost, yet. Does the AEM extended warranty cover towing?
I think the new updated tone wheel will be easy to find here in a few weeks when they are released (assuming they haven't already been released). I have the crankshaft position sensor software on my stock tune and GDE tune, so at least the truck won't leave me stranded on the side of the road...
As I mentioned above, the tone wheel is only covered under the powertrain warranty, not the AEM. So, if the tone wheel fails, but doesn't take out the sensor, then you're paying the bill.
I might just bone up and pay for the tone wheel and labor. The cost might be worth it to me.
Dealers are supposed to charge you for the tone wheel if the sensor fails. The sensor and labor would be covered under the AEM. The powertrain warranty would pay for the tone wheel.
You're correct. I should have clarified that. It seems that the sensor frequently gets taken out when the tone wheel falls apart, so that's what I'm banking on. With that said, it would be much more convenient to have it replaced under my own terms than have a failure. Not every failure is...
That would be my guess. We have two batteries and two 30 gallon propane tanks on the front of our travel trailer, so the tongue weight is pretty heavy. It makes a huge difference if we really tighten down the bars on the WDH.
That's a nice setup! I love the large rear window that you have.
There are more camping spots for smaller RVs.
If your payload is 1,370 lbs, then you have 100+ lbs more than what I have on my 2015. The WDH will actually reduce some of that tongue weight. I need to buy a portable scale to...
