Welcome to the site @Jerry Hefley !
Congrats on your new EcoDiesel, as far as the reduction of engine power for the first few thousand miles.. That's the first I've heard of that, but I'm not a Ram Engineer to say yes or no to the theory.
Was released today, but is the same price as the OEM (Factory) filter.. with no price difference I'm not sure you can justify going aftermarket. Thoughts?
It depends on how the person sees it.... Some would see it as this "Hey, it's got a newer engine!". But that brings up more questions... was the owner rough on the truck, etc.
Unfortunately for you.... I personally think it's a negative impact on the carfax no matter how much you look at it...
I've haven't seen or heard any info on FCA fixing the oil in cooler problem. Seems they put a new one on to bandaid the problem according to a few posts here.
