    my truck

    Bought the truck from Canada and imported to the states I think. Took advantage of low Canadian dollar. And bought Used. But yeah factory powertrain should be regardless. My father in law had just bought a 11' Silverado with 36k from insurance auction that was totalled but it's still under...

    average MPG towing with the ecodiesel

    Hauling fencing home for a spring/summer project. Was a 2 hour trip got 18 or so pulling the trailer empty with bad crosswinds but hit a 20MPH headwind coming home and it was pretty rough. About 12MPG. But comparing it to a gas truck I won't complain. Pulling empty was same MPG you see in a gas...

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    Oh yeah just a new door and some kind of heavy rocker panel Repair. That's almost less damage than the deer that ran into me did

    Oil change not taking 10.5 quarts

    I never heard anything about a guy having his truck lowered on him but I go under the front not under the running board. I can fit in normal it just makes it roomy in offroad. Though that would suck. Consider running an engine with too much oil can do as much damage as running it with too...

    Oil change not taking 10.5 quarts

    I guess I don't use ramps because I have factory air I just put it in offroad2 and slide underneath on a creeper. But the drain is on the rear of the oil pan so elevation sure as hell isn't going to hold a quart and a half of oil. And do not put 10-10.5 in regardless. Too much oil ruins...

    DRL's do you have them or not???

    It is possible the dealership just needs to transfer a code to be active in the truck. Most techs will have no clue what you're talking about but look around on the regular ram forums and the codes are out there for different styles of the drl whether it be running lamp or half power high beams...

    mileage between oil changes and do i really have to use euro

    The computer will never calculate a change based on duty cycle that's solely operator discretion. So be aware of what you're doing to your engine. Better safe than sorry. And Shop around for oils that meet spec. It can be had much less than the $200 dealer oil change. Mine run about 80 for oil...

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    May I quote? Because nobody knows. But "contact d&j diesel to have them bulletproof your ecodiesel and to see what they do/did" ~trade secret~ Honestly unknown why Shawn is so secretive of whatever he did

    ecodiesel motor failure

    I got extremely lucky and I actually travelled 350 miles to a dealer that provides lifetime powertrain Warranty. But it's for original owner only unless you trade in to them under 100k they can resell with the same Warranty below 100k. That being said I still bought a 7 year 100k bumper to...

    Oil Types

    Kendall seems pretty popular. Alternative the penzoil or liquimoly which are the cheapest available oils, On the higher end of the spectrum is the Mobil 1 ESP. I personally run champion syngold from Autoanything. They provide a little better price than advertised for me and I've had no oil...

    Leaking oil filter housing after oil change

    Mine reads right on the money after adding 10 1/3-10 1-2. Don't even check the dipstick until a few days to be honest.

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Using a different weight oil and mopar warranty just sounds like a nightmare. But to each their own. I guess there's guys out of warranty running t6. Which is a very good oil but not spec. Shawn what are you running now that your engine has gone through everything that it has? @moparecodiesel

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    I haven't seen any failures that I know to have used aftermarket Filters other than yours and I don't know of anyone that has had failure that has run non 5-30. Though dealers hung failures pending proof of spec oil 5-30.

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Trust me don't expect to keep your engine warranty if 5w40 touches that truck. If that doesn't effect you then I'm sure it will handle it fine. But pending there is an issue you're strictly out of pocket. And you can't compare an 06 powerstroke to this engine in any way when it comes to...

    Factory spray in boxliner, what brand?

    Same goes for ultimate liners which is what is sprayed at the factory in Warren. It does not blackwash or get chalky. I know what you mean. Every dealer will send you to line-x to Repair factory spray in and they are wrong to do so. But linex is cheaper. 75/tailgate. But there are many places...
