    Hey GTA CANUCKS I'm cheap but want quality. Here is what I've found.

    I have only found DEF at the pumps at truck stops as well.

    oil pressure reading

    The reading on the dash both analog and digital are a representation of what the ECM programing calculates what the oil pressure should be at the existing engine temperature, RPM, gear selection, throttle setting. So it means that the on/off engine oil pressure switch shows oil pressure above...

    Banks derringer +1.8

    I got my EGR Recall replacement the first week of August as well as the 2nd version of the AEM. It didn't have as bad a turbo delay as the first version but it was still there in cold run. Down on power from my GDE tune. I drove it three or four weeks and installed the EPA Compliant GDE program...

    January 2020 Poll: Would you purchase your EcoDiesel again?

    TC I have looked and rewritten these numbers to try and completely understand your logic and I truthfully don't get it. That being said the upfront option for 3.0 ED in a new truck is too high in my opinion, it does run the break even for cost of ownership way out on mileage. Even when my...

    Howdy? Has anyone received compensation from FCA due to the emissions issue?

    I sent the paper work for my RAM and my wife's Jeep on the same day, had some errors and corrected about a month later. I received my full check shortly after getting the first AEM installed, My wife however hadn't received a check for a year, had to reapply and select "Partial payment" and wait...

    Thanks for having me!

    Welcome to the club. I forgot I have replaced one inner tie rod end at 112K miles at front end alignment but consider it as maintenance. Did not go with OEM parts used heavy duty MOOG part. If you must, use OEM filters, oil, air, fuel, if not I recommend WEX, MAHLE, Amzoil oil and fuel filters...

    What TC said.

    Thanks for having me!

    Well I have to agree and disagree with TC. I love my 2014 Laramie Longhorn for all the reasons that he likes in the RAM truck line. Yes this is my first personally owned diesel, not my first to drive. Have driven Class 8 trucks down to 2500 diesels and I love this "modern" diesel. I have had...

    Settlement/Extended Warranty Parts Covered

    My DEF tank sensors failed shortly after the AEM install my dealer did not hesitate to install new one under extended warranty under the AEM. Waiting for the appointment date to have the Updated EGR installed, note if you have a CEL outstanding FCA will remove the intake to inspect for...

    Def / won’t start soon

    First is your DEF tank low or is it bad sensor? If a bad sensor the DEF tank must be replaced as the sensor is an integral part of the tank. The two codes are for low performance threshold of Selective Catalyst Reduction and high NoX emissions, which are coupled together as the SCR reduces the...

    (MPG) 2015 laramie longhorn limited 3.55

    I would bet on that sensor is bad as at no time should the EGT be that low. There are four EGT sensors at different positions in the exhaust system. I would bet that you are still running winter blend diesel, as well as the intake manifold may be full of sludge from the EGR at this point and may...

    Egr parts available

    Got a recall notice for the EGR kinda blaming me for not having it done yet on Monday this week. Called my dealer and they apologized profusely for dropping the ball by not calling me earlier. Parts on the way will be in the shop next week. Will decline the AEM fix. Presently my 2014 is not...

    Engine oil

    I would continue to use the Rotella T6. Although I have not read any recommendation for the 2020 eco. The SN rating is for automotive engines with a smaller ZDDP package and is insufficient for diesel engine use. The Euro Blend in 5w-30 was removed from use by FCA in 2016. Like you my 2014 and...

    Normal/abnormal carbon FCAs new word

    Compared to the Cummins EGR diffuser and intake the eco is dirty, yes it is a dirty intake due to the EGR, Post exhaust fuel injection for the Regen cycle, and according to GDE the fuel map and timing. You will find several members of these boards that will agree with your assessment.

    2017 EcoDiesel FIre

    Yes the process is NHTSA takes a report, once sufficient reports are tabulated, for cause and origin, and if there is common cause a recall order is issued. It sometimes is a slow process but with the growing number of failure incidents resulting in fires the process should speed up.

    2017 EcoDiesel FIre

    Did you report your incident to NHTSA? With a definite cause and origin determination that will factor into any NHTSA decision to leverage FCA. A large number of "Undetermined Cause" allows NHTSA to leave decision in manufacturers hands. We have our recalls and the dealer we use has stated that...

    When to use fuel additives

    I use the OptiLube for added lubricity due to the dryness of Ultra Low Sulfur diesel, it also has a cleaning action. Have used Diesel Service products, BG products, Amsoil. Everyone will have a favorite. I prefer the OptiLube and BG. I do a lot of research and run Oil Analysis each oil change to...

    2017 EcoDiesel FIre

    FCA will dodge and have you use your insurance, report incident to NHTSA, NHTSA is the only Federal agency that can force FCA to take liability. Fire cause and origin needs to be determined. If your insurance can tie it to FCA they will come back on FCA.
