I have no idea why Boost deleted the comment, it was truthful, and was not hurtful in any manner, their are 10s of 1000s current and past 3.0VM owners that agree the learning curve is brutal. Its is unlikely without changes to make 200K miles without major repairs OEM. The only 3.0s VM that I...
Not Yet...1964 keep all your documents and report the fire to FMCSA. Their are owners that this has happen twice. Insurance is another expense in owning the 3.0VM, My 2019 Limited 5.7 is $240.00 per year less then My 2015 loaded Laramie Ecodiesel.
Stand Your ground, unfortunately in America to many for to long have remained silent,.... the everything's is OK, and you have NO right to challenge matters is prevalent and practice everywhere.
This is the foremost reason why the VM3.0 has 6 Years of the same continuous problems and...
No..........the engine itself is 15 Years old. It seems to fare OK in HWY use, couple with missing parts it fares better. I keep reading 2nd gen+, the engine is the same 2014-19, the minor changes 2014-19 are cosmetic IMO and have little to no link to resolve the major problems.
Only those that want to be helped.....Heck I wanted this engine to be stellar.
My Opinion is going to differ from those that allow themselves to be comforted by smooth talk, Theirs's still postings of the 3.0VM being Wards top 10 best engines...Hmmm If this engine makes the 10 Best that's some...
I removed it within days of ownership. Heat is a killer of all HPCR pumps. The CP4 noise will never be heard over the engine combustion knock that all DSL have, the noise level of the engine is considerably less with EMHPCR. IMO the cover only stratifies the eyes only LOL, and has no value.
It varies, Some times they covered it, other times NO, at any rate the engine is out of production and unless you can find a crated 2019 your SOL, and times are lengthy on Remans.
Yep... The Dealer sold you the The truck in any type of ligation the Dealer is legally mentioned they are the required contact on take backs. It seems their not being upfront on the matter. I would hope you have a loaner?
The Dealer has a lot to do with it... What's your relationship with selling Dealer. Fiat being hard nosed on VM products...that just makes it more difficult for Warranty and Take backs. Generally the Dealer can push through the take back on grounds of re-sale Not so with VM products, Fiat not...
This thread is no surprised to me, I was at Cat when engineering attempted dual EGR, it was simply dropped due to to operational complexity. I have no sympathy for 2018+ owners, its well documented and published the quagmire of problems of VM3.0 over development and under engineering. That...
StevenB, I was going to post this in the Hemi Section, Hmm You touch on MPG, I just finish 541 Miles Mixed Hwy/city on 2 Tanks, it was 15.8 MPG HC, That's only 2-1.5 Less than My Eco in 2019, and with Gas being .80 less then DSL Plus 3K less out the Door,, I'm saving $$$$ Big time. it cost Me...
To make things clear Ram, Dodge ,Chrysler, Has 0 to do with the VM3.0, Its All VM Cento Italy design and engineering along with GM, The engine original design was for 3200LB GM Euro's Caddy's 2005. The 3.0VM seems to do OK in HWY use, if its used for DD Family , missing parts is required or it...
jrw21, The info you requested is removing a required AECD Auxiliary emission control device (AECD) even Banks Site does NOT support such an act https://official.bankspower.com/customer-support/owners-manuals/?_ga=2.67631249.1616057926.1589334976-1235888026.1587089240 , Good luck were ever you...
