This code will send your truck into Limp Home Mode which unfortunately stops the active regen cycle which causes a whole new set of issues. I would not recommend driving the vehicle at all. Options are purchase an adequate scan tool and learn to discern if you have an issue or not and clear the...

Very pleased with mine. That being said my SCR/DPF was replaced under recall 2014 specific, my DEF tank was replaced a couple months back under warranty. The AEM made my truck a real turd, so I tuned it. I did install an external oil cooler with secondary oil filter in response to the 2014...

I have only seen it available as 5W-40 but I see that it is also available in 15W-40 as well, it just hasn't hit the shelves here in the lower 48.

File a complaint with NHTSA, FCA will dodge and make you claim on your insurance.

Reminds me of the 305 SB Chevy, the first 5 years nothing but spun rod bearings and flat cams. GM changed cam profile, hardening process, material, 5 times in 5 years to no avail. Many warranty replacements. Clevite/Michigan 77 made the OEM bearings for this engine, a Clevite engineer teaching a...

There is a recall out for an updated AEM, I have the recall here. I will not participate as I have tuned and love the truck the way it drives now. The AEM was supposed to be the same tune as the 17 and up vehicles, the big question was why did it negatively effect so many vehicles and not...

I got a code for Erratic or Missing Sensor Signal which is the level sensor, right after I filled the tank, DEF tank replaced under AEM warranty, all good now.

You would be correct the wealth of knowledge the topic has been covered but sometimes it is easier to go straight to the point without reading for hours. 1. Use good oil, many good suggestions on this forum, I use Rotella T6 since before FCA announced the change. I change at 10K miles but I also...

No problem TC, I too believe that non EGR is the future of Diesel engines. Although I do not blame FCA totally as I know the efforts that Cummins undertook to convince the EPA that the Mandated EGR was not needed. I also agree that lacking meaningful redesign that the VM motor will fall behind...

We have received notification of a new program for the AEM which is to address the turbo lag. Or you can investigate the Gayle Banks Power Products Derringer, the Sofa Tune King program, or wait until Green Diesel Engineering comes out with their CARB/EPA approved program, to take care of turbo...

You should be fine with the eco 1/2 ton, when I pulled our old Salem FSX toyhauler, about 6.5K lbs. loaded, I averaged 13mpg, we just traded to a heavier XLR toyhauler and in two weeks will take a shakedown trip and will see what the mileage is. Now for the disclaimer, I unknowingly bought a RAM...

Dag nab it. I guess the wife and I are in the minority, my RAM just turned over 117K and my wife's Jeep just turned over 145K!! When we were at the dealership picking up my RAM after the DEF tank replacement a salesman asked my wife is she was interested in trading in and she replied "only if...

Welcome to the forum CAVEMAN. First the transfer or use of technology among the FCA brands is not universal. My wife's 2013 Charger the oil change monitor would vary based upon driving conditions, just like "hossman" referred to. However my experience with my RAM and my wife's Jeep GC eco is...

Hey I'm old too, just installing a straight pipe and uninstalling the multiple sensors involved would not entail a stop every 200 miles to reset. I am sorry but several of the codes that would be tripped would place you in "Limp Home Mode" that would not be reset except by dealer. Your best...

I do not want to sound like I have my head in the sand or a hater on diesels but if you research all diesels in pickup trucks using the SCR/DEF particulate exhaust system you will find that ALL are having issues when driven in Daily Driver Stop & Go activities. There are a few issues that are...

I will echo the poor lubricity of Jet A. In the day there was not a real issue as the diesel of the time had sufficient sulfur content to allow for occasional low lubricity levels (15,000 ppm). Todays ultra low sulfur (15ppm or less) does not tolerate low lubricity levels for very long. Example...

Report to NHTSA. Call the firm managing the AEM lawsuit settlement. The second AEM program, we have the recall statement for that, is to address issues with the original AEM, such as turbo lag, poor power, poor fuel mileage.

Really weird, my tune works perfectly with my transmission. The AEM tune does change the transmission tune, earlier downshifts later upshifts. As I stated earlier my mileage went up approximately 2mpg average. Of course it improved enough that the 2.5 hour drive to OKC and 2.5 back doesn't use a...

Well the next question would be why? Jet A runs about $1.00 a gl. more than #2 Diesel.

Complex answer to Quick Question. I could not give a succinct answer to additives needed to bring JetA to Diesel #2, however, they are both mixtures of crude oil refinement. Jet A is closely related to Kerosene differentiated by purity and additives, normally a long chain molecule ranging from...
