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...

As far as the DPF taking increased Active/Stationary Regens/Desoot, the material used is rated to take 2200F 10,000+ times, its equal to Gas Cats that run 1400-1800F their WHOLE life. In others words it will not wear out before the engine does even if hits 1 million miles, LMBO..... it may get...

I would just move on and not worry about the bullet that missed you. OP its not even worth the time your going to spend for this answer, No we have no idea how that bolt was in your sump.

Clean MAP/ Boost sensor, and You will need WItech/ AlfaOBD to remove the Message.

Even if the CAP was off, explain how it manage to find the fill Hole and all the way down to Sump, the Valve cover may have been off, theirs not a lot of room in 3.0 DOHC heads for that bolt to work its way around to drain ports, in the picture it looks to big to fit down the head drain ports...

The solenoids on EMHPCR injectors is a big part of why they are so Spendee $$$$$... I have never been a fan of CAL Codes, it absolutely makes it much more difficult when problems arise, Commercial Engines are more lethal, Some Commercial Injectors cost over $1000.00+ US.

Boostn , I'm pessimistic about this engine also, it has the similar EGR system as the 2020 3.0VM VM is even more complexed. This technology was dropped by many DSL Makers. Also the Denso pump is New and its bolted in the rear and couple with dual sprockets to drive Cam and Pump, all kinds of...

The belt drives the oil Pump, and only the pump, and yes trans separation is necessary to replace it, its schedule change is 150,000 Miles. Its has a butt load of new Technology...

Yep, if you are going to keep it missing parts is mandatory, do as shadow suggested

No and Yes. If the the EGR was leaking internally the Coolant will mixed with the lube VIA combustion chamber, If you are Doing OAs like I have recommended for years on the 3.0 the coolant would have showed on the the Analysis. The OAT/HOAT will mix with the lube and create the lube to become...

Buy ASAP, I'm thinking the EPA is going to come out swinging when the COVID-19 Pandemic is history, O Wait no need to worry its going to be around for years....On a more serious note , its seem No one knows which way this COVID-19 goona end. I can only hope the Summer heat kills it ,and that...

Just buy the whole command center, Edge CTS is reasonably priced, Banks has discontinue the IQ. You probably still have the post/pre Turbo thermo-couplers to use

I say sell it, the engine is out of production, if you think 60 Days was a long wait, it will be longer on the next major repair. What disturbs me is the next owner risk. The 2020 changes are just the dressing, same original design, Many other makers dropped Dual EGR to to it complexed...

That improve your chances of less cost in long term ownership, but it won't stop the engine form puking.

Dogma, their are many happy owners, the problem is the bar is so Low , because of that. Example: I demand 200K miles with just minor repairs, Gas motor hit this target with eases and proper maintenance, very few Eco owners expect that, because they own one, My experience with the crowd of Eco...

That's the Update to AEM, Need more info. Mileage, missing parts, etc. What makes you think the MPG is going to be worth it , and if you used for DD use W/O changes it will suck up your wallet.

Their not normal use, the intake and EGR was under developed for normal use.
