Unless it has maintenance Records its risky, at that mileage its going to need some repairs, in addition to the possibility of major failure.
Now that being said $17K No, Your looking at 2-3K in maintenance and the possibility of $8k in motor replacement. Now make sure you have the funds for...
Bill and Kristi, The VM3.0 is your problem, I dumped that VM 3.0 and Purchased Ram Limited 2019 with 5.7, the Mileage is great the ride and comfort is 2nd to None...
A good part of Why the 3.0VM continues to have major failure, Many owners are just blind to the facts that it fails prematurely...
Why would you install the kit. You cannot (Should not) extend the Service intervals, and that 1st time that any dealership see that bypass your engine warranty will be terminated.
Re-designed? Weaknesses were NOT removed in the 2020.
Is this your 1st DSL.
The 2020 just is not selling, and the 2020 is still manufactured in Cento... MX, verified the same QC in 2020... Very few pervious 3.0 owners are willing to Trade to 2020.
On Edit Most dealers stock is 100 Gas to 1 DSL 1500 2020. 7 6.7 Cummins to 1 6.4 3500, 5 6.7 Cummins to 5 6.4 2500.
GDE, WOW you got that right....why in the heck is Fiat still prostituting's itself with VM 3.0 is beyond hideous. They could have retooled VM R&D another power plant for what 500 million. Fait has the resources to correct this and regain the 1/2 Ton market ...I only have one word for it Fiats...
MX, I now support missing parts upgrade... So true on giving the motor a fighting chance...If VM controls the QC it would be a power plant worthy of My support. I just don't see how VM going do do this W/O FPT intervention.
O I need to add, I owned 2015 for 4.2 Years, My maintenances was Stellar, Yet at 44K miles it needed New Intake/EGR, it was sooted up bad.
I just check the record on the 2015, it just had the Tone ring and turbo replaced, at 54K miles.
I have over 40 years of experience in combustion engine, both Gas and DSL, I left gas decades ago and focus on DSL.
3.0VM (Motori) is a rats nest at best, its surround by QC and designed flaws....Also if you do a search you will find My posting on the 3.0 back in 2015 all care true, the...
Unless its used for HWY, its only time before it sucks up your wallet.
2020 has technology that was dropped by most Power plant Makers. Now change out to missing parts will be a big plus, The problem is you have 2 EGRs to cap plus the DPF routing... and sensors My Guess $$$$$
No Tune will equal Hemi.
If warranty is important don't tune FCA , will be releasing tokens per VIN for Flashing, So that token will be gone. Its going to work like this. I pay for the token to flash VIN# X its good for a year, then you have to repay. My Guess FCA will know if module is...
Shawnmower87, I would like to see the Analysis, So if your up to it please post it, its one one the most informative doc's posted. Trends are what is needed so don't get to Xs, if the first one not a Stellar report.
Yes... I have left vehicles sit outside for Days at -0 temps. DEF freeze at 18/12F, so what the difference if it freezes at 22/20F.
Many owners have been practicing this for Years. It does surprise me to see how easily People are fooled today in believing things....against their own...
If it has the sensor, it will not be triggered until below 22%, So for every 2.5 Gallons DEF, 1 Gallon DW puts you at 24% code and injector problem free.
I ran distilled water in My Eco at levels 10% DEF and 90% DW, Their is No urea sensor in the tank until 2017, The NOx senor will not trigger codes, even at that level 2014-16. DW is way better for the entire DEF system than DI.
In fact I have been running DW in My DEF Trucks for Years error...
It does increase the possibly of water, That's why Every DSL I own has Aqua-Zorb or incapsulating water, ( No water separating Filters) Aqua-zorb get 100% of standing water and some emulsified Water. Its not a question if pumped BioDSL, its how many times, its sold on the open market all over...
