    Electronic throttle control 2nd time since June

    My 2014 RAM and my wife's 2015 JEEP GC both have the GDE tune. Wouldn't drive without it. No "Service Electronic Throttle Control" error messages. Better power curve and torque curve along with more hp and torque, improved fuel mileage. Only draw back in the EPA Compliant Tune is that DEF is...

    Major Electrical Issue or something else?

    Wow!! Assume picture. I have only witnessed this type of wiring "repair" when the gang plug has corrosion or bent connector pins. I would agree partially with Tremper126, You have additional electrical issues. First: the first three codes if not corrected at the source, will result in a "Limp...

    2014 ED in Jeep GC

    NIck welcome to the board. Including my 2014 RAM my wife drives a 2015 JEEP GC with the ecodiesel. We both have the AEM recall and she just got the EGR recall completed. We both had the same issues with the AEM, just to different degrees. Hers less than mine. We both had been running a Green...

    p0193 p0106p0641 p2016 p2021 engine run fine cold but stall when running for 5min

    Wow, what a plethora of codes and a common running issue. Let me start out by asking who did the delete tune? We have run up to multiple programming issues from switching from CNG only to dual fuel or CNG to gasoline only, with a time period of running then the issue exactly as you described...

    Hello, I'm also from Michigan.

    I have the GDE tune and I love the power and torque increase as well as mileage increase. My Oil Analysis has shown a continued cleaner oil sample since the tune install. GDE claims a lowering of soot through the EGR diffuser due to improved fuel mapping, I have not inspected my manifold since...

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    I just looked up the Pennzoil Euro Full synthetic, it is now available in the required 5w-40 for both the ecodiesel and the Cummins. However of the multiple specifications listed by RAM the oil only meets one the ACEA A3/B4. I am not sure if one is enough, the verbiage from RAM is "meet Material...

    EPA Report on Diesel Tuners Leaked

    With the advances in electric mileage between charges it looks like that may be happening by default as well as local government fiat. As long as no looks behind the curtain at the abysmal environmental impact of mining and production of Lithium Ion batteries and definitely not at disposal...

    EPA Report on Diesel Tuners Leaked

    You refer to and yet denigrate the success of the EPA air pollution controls since the mid 1970's. Vehicle exhaust emissions have been reduced by a factor of several 100's, yet you state that vehicle exhaust is still the big bad source. What you may have missed during the years is the change in...

    3.0 IS A PIECE OF CRAP

    This is true, GDE explicitly states that their tune is EPA Compliant and is 49 state available. It appears that the existing EPA lawsuit to decertify California as able to issue and enforce standards more stringent than Federal standards will be dead in the water in January, your situation is...

    3.0 IS A PIECE OF CRAP

    It has been a minute since your post. If you still have the truck the tune is the answer. The EPA compliant Green Diesel Engineering program is what I have changed to from the earlier GDE tuned ECM which was not compliant. So much for that. The new program stores your OEM tune and then programs...

    DEF pump out at 42k miles

    The dealer makes a big difference if they have a competent technician. If your dealer does not have a competent technician I would recommend a change in dealerships.

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

    My only concern with FCA is the lack of logistical support in the parts department.

    OVER HEATING

    Please fill out a NHTSA report for this incident. My EGR recall notice went to great lengths to state that this was a "voluntary recall" due to "the low rate of occurrence" of engine compartment fires. It is deplorable that a company as large as FCA would announce a recall in April and my parts...

    OVER HEATING

    Brother you should be inline for the EGR Cooler recall. Get on the list at a dealer you trust. The EGR cooler leaks one of two ways, internally or externally, but both end up with overheating and coolant loss. Then tune it afterward, you will be amazed at the difference 20 or so HP and 40 to 50...

    90k Mile Now Need a New Engine

    I share your desire to see root cause, but according to my V08 recall paperwork in front of me, this Authorized Emission Modification entails a ECM program download only. The extended warranty, additional 4 years/40K miles includes, among other items, Cylinder Head Assembly, including valves...

    EcoDiesel oil cooler

    I do not know if there is a max temp on the probe, I do know that when my oil temp achieved 270F my engine down tuned HP, flat on the floor, 30 mph, 3rd gear. until I could pull over and let temps fall. That was with the OEM tune. I should have added that my final cure for high temps, water...

    Overheating?

    I had these issues with heat as well, with OEM tune and configuration, pulling 6,000 lbs flat ground with headwind. Added the now no longer sold oil cooler and remote oil filter and lowered antifreeze temp to 210/212 but oil stayed in the 270 range, trans still 220 and above for short periods...

    EcoDiesel oil cooler

    I was lead to believe that the oil cooler failure was predominately effecting the 2014 model. I installed a delete with external filter and cooler from D&J Diesel, they no longer sell this item. I found that removing the oil temperature load on the engine coolant dropped the coolant temperature...

    Any dealers correcting the VB1 recall on 2017 Ram EcoDiesels?

    Sorry my dealer in Oklahoma is doing them. You have to put yourself on the waiting list as FCA is only shipping parts to dealers with customers on list, and then in a trickle. Notified in July that parts were coming in and got into the dealer for install the first week of August. Terrible...
