It's an EPA problem. These things had gasoline engine tech force-fed on them, including the EGR, which eventually clogs up the mains and rods and creates a GIANT lump of useless steel. They discontinued this engine simply because they couldn't Dodge (pun intended) the EPA, which is now...

Your question can only be answered by your tuner really... It depends on what functions and sensors they turned off. If you're deleting and tuning your EGR, DPF, and SCR, you may still need an EGT1 sensor. While deleting these components is common for performance gains, you might need the...

FWIW, most have found that tunes tend to mitigate the headaches for the most part. The engine is what it is, by doing away with the dpf and egr, it helps the engines longevity by stopping it from recirculating exhaust into the intake. Sounds like a tune would fix your regen issues also. Not sure...

Running out of DEF won't damage the engine as it's only a treatment for exhaust gasses. The ECM is programmed to progressively limit the trucks speed when DEF runs out. I have heard of some tunes turning off the DEF system. That would also appear to make it possible for someone to turn it off...

I really wanted the transmission tune. I hated the way the stock transmission shifted. The truck runs good. The big difference for me is I was driving 32.5 miles one way to work 3 days a week, so I would see Regen's about every 800-900 miles(with old tune). Now I have a new job and only drive...

Hi all, I’m new to the forum and the ecodiesel engine. I’ve been reading a lot on here since I bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with the 3.0 ecodiesel and 100K km, and there’s a ton of great information. I have one big question for the folks out there who know a lot about this engine and the...

Get a tune. MRTuning is very good. I’ve run several tunes and I like MRTuning best. Also recommend their trans tune. EGR causes the lag. Try unplugging the EGR and see the difference. You’ll get a CEL but it will run much better. Be sure the engine is off when you unplug the EGR to ensure it is...

A friend of mine just lost the engine on his 2018 @ 81000 miles, no tune just stock, how is your engine doing?

We have documented all of those things. For example, RussellandCissy with 433,323 miles (engine and truck) is 100% bone stock. Others have listed their tunes, maintenance intervals, driving habits, etc. Send me a private message if you want to see more information.

Do you have any aftermarket tunes or equipment on this truck? I am curious because it sounds like I have the same thing, but I have a tune, so I'm not sure the software update will work on my truck?

Well I bought my 2015 brand new and it has been a fantastic truck. Most people who are in one for the long haul would tell you to consider a quality tune that will likely increase longevity. There are numerous tunes available but the GDE EPA compliant tune is well regarded and the EOC tune from...

So, most of us know that whoever came up with the idea of cramming soot back down the throat of our Ecodiesels should be tortured... slowly and painfully. Here's a thought though - the forums here and elsewhere all talk about EGR cooler deletes and tunes and the like, but what about taking the...

Well I have the SFT tune with the rally tune. It's not worth it. All I've had are problems sine I installed their tune. And can never seem to get someone on the phone. The mileage is BS no increase at all. When the tune isn't jacking up my ECU it's awesome. Powerhouse!!! But I'm in the process...

I've never heard of a dealer changing the stock tune, that's a big EPA violation. A second improved AEM recall software update/flash improved the delay for most owners, but not for all.

Hello. 2017 Eco. Yea I had that delay and dealer performed tune it’s like night and day. Service writer actually drove truck himself 20-25 miles after first tune, didn’t like it and had mechanic go thru again. 56000. No charge from dealer. My best mileage 28+ with a tailwind. If I’m pulling a...

Who did the tuning? That is what most likely lead to the engine failure. The delete tunes on Gen3 ecodiesel are made by clueless people. Most are just turning off egr and def and sometimes dpf. There is high pressure and low pressure egr on this engine. Turning off the egr effectively...

The failure is generally caused by the EGR system sending soot down the intake, which will eventually clog up the runners, work its way down to the cylinders, score the walls, get down into your oil pan, clog up the main bearings, and seize up the engine. This is what happens when idiots with...

Good plan. The Hemi's are great trucks and ton of fun to drive. My brother and I rented one for a week and it was a blast. Drove it all over southern Ontario including a trip and some 4x4 to the family cottage. Contrast to the 2015 EcoD and it's like what the hey. Probably the worst $$ per...

11k? That’s the cost of a new engine… Find a small private diesel shop to do the delete and tune. Should be about $2500. Or less.
