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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
Upgrade to less Parts, or sell and buy Gas. If you like hassle and money withdrawals monthly Keep.
Your driving style is not recommended for Bluetech DSL's
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+
Urea is mixed with Deionized Water at the rate of 33% Urea 67% DI water. the DEF injector is house in the mixing chamber in the exhaust downstream of the DPF and is Part of the SCR (Selective catalyst reduction)
Now if its the Urea Sensor its the 1st one ever. I've NOT read 1 failure in 3...
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...
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...
I've heard the same 1000s of times, Your Coolant found its way into the lube and destroyed your Engine, WHOEVER told you it was the EGR is an idiot, EGRs don't leak coolant into lube, They leak coolant into the intake ( OK if the EGR a gusher Coolant will find its way to lube VIA cylinder Rings...
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.

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.
