    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    Ram still has to honor the warranty contract...The area I find most concerning, If the ED 3.0 go's out of production being overseas Motor it will cost 2-3 times more in repair(s) past warranty ,Being only 104,000 3.0s in N/A its doubtful that aftermarket parts will be available .

    REPORT: EPA to hold hearing today about new cheating allegations

    Ford spent millions on development. FCA took a motor that was designed to be implemented into a 3200LBS car, ask it to push a truck that 6000lbs and pull another 7500lbs... My guess it will 4.0L+ the 3.2 @185HP just won't sell in the F-150.

    REPORT: EPA to hold hearing today about new cheating allegations

    Awesome.... I really wanted this ED platform to be successful, I was critical of the issues in the name of getting FCA to fix the stuff before it was to late... Now its a ugly road to hoe. I don't see FCA getting out of this one anything short of buy backs. if they don't lawsuits will ensued...

    REPORT: EPA to hold hearing today about new cheating allegations

    1&2 were give a way's, Many High Mile 3.0 intakes were pretty clean, when the Family use intake were cake up badly. The ease that GDE disable the EGR Valve is another give away , heck I unplugged the actuator and it only throws P0245 occasionally. I disable the EGR Valve completely VIA...

    REPORT: EPA to hold hearing today about new cheating allegations

    Bobcat I believe you are correct, their is some indications that the investigation has been ongoing for 12+ months. The software is overseen by teams of software engineers I doubt it just leak by, its more likely it was never disclosed on any documents and just pushed through and made to look...

    REPORT: EPA to hold hearing today about new cheating allegations

    Trumps administration is certainly NOT going to exonerate any corporation from pass violation on EPA and Gov requirements. They will/May focus on lessening future requirements. As this unfolds FCA will sink deeper into trouble.

    Warranty and service contracts

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

    Ugly that for sure. But The Day My 2013 , 2014 Rams 6.7 and 2015 ED arrived I purchased a $1.50 1.5" plumbing cap shave it down on to fit . No way was I allowing that cap less fill neck open.

    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    The ED was off restrictions for 4 Days and Dealer were able to Take orders again, Today I tried and they we back on restrictions, Don't know what to think of that. The Duramax in 2017 is New develop motor With GM as the Sole maker, Bosch lost the contract to Denso on the Fuel side, So I can...

    Class Action Lawsuit just filed (FCA/Cummins)

    This Law suit is frivolous, Yes the makers had years of development notice and failed to bring reliable long term products to the market. I've seen this system last years WO failure, driving habits have a big impact on the survival rate of any Vehicle, and the Facts are if your a dart driver...

    Class Action Lawsuit just filed (FCA/Cummins)

    This has already be settled, Check EPAs enforcement actions. The 2007.5 -2012 had some problems, By 2009 they were well known, If you bought after that it was foolish on the buyers Fault to take the risk. After owners were fed up with continue failures, they just deleted and Most like the...

    Banks intake manifold

    Don't buy any Banks Products on Ebay, Banks strictly forbids selling on Ebay , If warranty arises they will require Place of Purchase. Last time I checked (last week) the intake was on backorder. Its seems odd for than 10 available.

    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    You may have received the new system under warranty already 6.73.0 ram. Both My 2013 & 14 3500s have never returned to the Dealer except for R46 Track bar bracket failure.

    Ram has to recall most of the 2500/3500 6.7 2013-15, and replace the entire SCR ,FCA is suing Cummins for 200+million

    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    My sources/rumors are, its going to go down BAD for FCA, Theirs is NO distinction form 2014-17 3.0. So its possible that the EPA will demand backwards compatibility. Just like the 6.7 Dieselgate. A another and yet Bigger problem is with new test methods it much more difficult for small...

    fuel contamination issues

    How would you get mud down a 2 gated neck ? Seems not likely and would be time consuming to hold open both gates and poor mud/dirt.

    fuel contamination issues

    X2 $2.50 2' vent cap form Home depot works great, just a little trimming and fits nice. I posted this at 1500.com so I will post it here. Most Insurance companies require daily reports inspections on under ground Tanks, that means privately owned station must comply, Now Corp Station may be...
