    PSA: FCA Changes Oil Specification Requirement for Ram 1500 EcoDiesels

    I'm currently on chat with fca getting some bullshit excuse my truck needs to be serviced by a dealership if it's under Warranty

    New EcoDiesel owner guide

    Ok to be honest I haven't pulled off my rotors and looked but I think that our ecodiesel trucks have the new style that he explained. I was unaware that wheel counters and the ABS sensor is now integrated into the hub assemblies. New technology I guess. Not something that I was aware of until...

    oil change

    My question is when is fca going to have a service bulletin go out to all owners? And what if someone prefers to run the old 5w30 Ms11106 oil? I found an oil I like and stock at home, so why should I change to 5w40 now?

    oil change

    I guess I kind of new this I just didn't realize the weight would change. As previously stated here when I went through what I did with champion oils they informed me that they had designed the high performance Blue flame diesel oil specifically for the change coming in 2017 trucks to be cj-4...

    Leveling Kit

    Well as long as you don't mind a 10ply rated tire and the associated price tag and ride quality then the 275/65 is a good choice and because it's f250's standard tire size it's available from nearly every tire manufacturer and style

    Leveling Kit

    That extra half inch is another x amount of degrees on the cv axles which causes undue stress on the factory axle shaft. If you have coil suspension the blisten leveling shocks are a better method though more expensive. And you've got 33's from the factory! Congratulations. With a leveling...

    How many miles on your ecodiesel and have you had any problems?

    I'm with you, 31k still on factory treads. Something new by the time snow flies. Milking summer miles out of the last of them

    #1 is your axle shaft which drives the hub #2 is a dust shield for the inside of the bearing #3 is the non contact wheel speed counter

    New EcoDiesel owner guide

    Well considering the wheel speed sensor hole and axle counters are on and against the spindle, and you're trying to grease the wheel bearing which is sealed and pressed into the bolt on hub, (which bolts onto the outside of the spindle) which then accepts the axle shaft where it is bolted to the...

    New EcoDiesel owner guide

    Try as you might, I'm in salt country and I've never had an issue with a free moving part not being caked in grease. There's no contact there, so greasing it is pointless. To each their own I guess but it's not doing anything except trapping dirt that would otherwise come out

    HS Oil Cooler Kit

    So you purchased the h&s cooler kit as a simpler alternative with less points of failure, but you had no success with the simplicity of the system and in turn had more failures. Not cooling sufficiently because of limited air flow and no forced air or hd option. Failed lines, and now you're...

    They're sealed bearings? So why on earth would you pack the ABS/wheel speed count splines full of grease?

    Speedometer recalibration

    Thanks for the information

    Speedometer recalibration

    You have no leveling kit, no spacers, factory rims and you don't get any rubbing correct? Factory coil suspension? What specifically is the brand tire you have out of curiosity?

    You have some pictures close and far with the 65 series tires on to share?

    Tire profile size

    If you've already added a leveling kit I'd assume you to be just fine, height isn't really the problem section width is what will make you rub. Only way you'll know is trying it. Worst case scenario maybe a 1/8 inch spacer would be necessary. Which is very inexpensive. Or if you're planning to...

    Tire profile size

    If you have any reason to get a load rated truck tire a 65 series 20" rim is a great option. It's a half inch more profile on each side of the rim, one inch total larger, significantly deeper tread, they're readily available because it's Ford super duty's standard 20" tire size. A 275/65/20 also...
