    regen

    You just need to set the parking Brake place ED in (N) and run above 1000 RPMS. If you have the monitor (Banks CTS ETC ) just watch your DPF temps (Not EGT temps) temps raise to 1200-1300. Unless you can place the vehicle into stationary de-soot 1000-1500 RPMs is the sweet spot for Active...

    Cleaned map sensor and egr tube wow!

    Check inside the intake Plenum to see if the swirl valves are cake with soot, when they get caked to the point of blockage the intake head valve(s) will warp, from excessive heat.

    Cleaned map sensor and egr tube wow!

    Follow the recommendation in Post 21 to have both the Plenum and EGR replace, have the tech check the intake valves for warping and if they are you should demand engine replacement.

    Cleaned map sensor and egr tube wow!

    Banks does not add to the soot, take it to dealer and complain that its surging and loosing coolant, the EGR and Plenum will be replace, do this every 30-40K miles (BC it will be completely sooted up) and hope your rotating mass survives until 120K and dump the bit***. Make sure you collect...

    2018 Problems??

    Some EDs have lasted, over 300K miles, those are 80-90% HWY miles. The ED was marketed for Family use and sold for DD grocery getting, FCA underdeveloped the power plant for this use. Now the Matter is more problematic with the NON-recognition of Cento QC. Now comes the cheating on emissions...

    Exhaust filter 100% full Service Required

    The filter is located Mid frame , The Cover will do nothing for Fuel gelling, The real issue in the cold is VM again and the poor programing that does NOT allow the VGT ( Turbo Back Pressure) vanes to engage at Idle. Your CAC temp will raise installing that cover in temps above 30F, that equals...

    I would switch T-6, Penn's oil 5-30w is loaded with CAL, any coolant finds its way to the lube MS11106 will self-destruct the rotating mass in short order. Over the course of Time MS11106 Penn's will increase wear do to the lack of additives' , Zinc, Moly, Mag.

    Yep.. the owners with Maxcare should crunch the #s Forest lake Ram was selling Eco's back in 2014 with lifetime lubricate parts warranty and with the New Settlement those 1st time buyers that still Have their ED would be sitting good for 10 Years/120KM

    OK.... and if you ask is this settlement mandatory the reply would likely been different..... And most attorney's will tell their clients until your compliant is before a Judge in the Court of Jurisdiction any thing can Happen. The only area I believe a Lower court has to follow the render...

    Justlucky, Its doubtful your attorney would have stated its an Order, its a settlement at owners acceptance, with court approval. The settlement is generous in many cases for owners that want to Keep their ED, it will also increase the value IMO, and give owners another card to play if they...
