GearHead, Enjoying the conversation, I never thought about the exhaust event (Fuel) . Now the 3.0 has the EGR Valve and Bypass actuator, the Actuator even when closed has a circuit bypass, now that would require the EGR valve to be 100% shut, if it gets sooted up fuel may find its way in the...

GearHead ,In your Professional View are these Number of fire extreme, or Normal #s

Gear head You had better carry at least 2 More, One owner had two, and He and another person could not put out the flames. Another had a garden hose and Fire extinguisher and it still burned down to the ground.

Melted Eco, Please reach out to https://www.nhtsa.gov It now seems that every 3.0VM is potentially a fire hazard. 2014-19 are all the same except for some piping and external sensors/cooling valve changes.

PatP, any pictures you would like to share.

Ram19, the fire requires a heat source the plenum is 100s* short of this. Mostly likely turbo related IMO. The incoming air from the CAC is 10x more then the exhaust gases from the EGR cooler. I have recorded 1500+F temps (Often) at turbo, the 3.0VM Flame Temps are remarkably high.

In America Most owners have never even wash the engine compartment, or ever even check the oil now days.

Gap011, Just revisit Ram gas vehicles, the 2019-20 is appealing, and right now more Truck for less cost than anything thing Ford has.

Its very clear were GAPO11 fire started,its not the ERG in this case. I see you removed the Sound foam on the riders but NOT the drivers. Unless you pratice good Engine hygiene , as the engine compartment becomes older it will collect debris increasing the risk of fire's...this engine in this...

Wishful thinking, the Only trucks with Bypass are on commercial lines class5+....every truck 1500-5500 Dsl I've owned I had to add it.

As long you keep it separate NO warranty would violated.

Known Fear call Me. I was vested into Dodge Franchise some years Back, Now I'm vested in FMC corp. I love Ram, and I care deeply about this site and Boostn future. I am now Challenging VM with all My contacts at FCA (FCA is NOT the problem its VM/Fiat) Stay away from 1500diesel.com.. stay here...

The VM3.0 is not the Dsl you want to be your 1st experience. the 2014-19 If future repairs are needed will problematic. Its also under mandated Safety re-call, so the dealer is selling you Illegally in America, Yes their is the USED-CAR=Loophole. unless the dealership signs that they are...

Yes. https://www.ecodieselsettlement.com/content/dam/fcacourtsettlement/pdf/V08V11%20AEM%20Extended%20Warranty%20Document.pdf

Gofinhingup, Please post the Stealership Name.. No doubt they be swindling owners for how long. I've never came across any Ram 3.0 in the pickup without one.

Great engine's go 500K miles with routine manitenence, No 3.0 in its entire history (every 3.0VM Made) has never come close to 500K miles on Routine manitenence, 300K the high mark, gas engine do that. Trying not to be critical........ but claiming 46K miles its a great engine is not the...

If you own EcoDsl you need Alfa.(y)

Yes...Alfa still the best for Ram.

The Alfa Does NOT flash or capable of Making Keys, Also it will not add to the Sales Code/Line sheet, only to vehicle, So if you change the setting(s) in the module that get's the Update (TechAUT at Dealer) you will need to re-do.
