    New Software Update Rd 2

    I will attempt to attach a file scan of my letter, like I stated my wife's Jeep GC eco and my RAM both have the 2nd recall notice on the same day.

    Def fuel gauge stuck on 100% full

    The DEF tank is sized to be filled at oil change interval as calculated DEF consumption or 8gls. of DEF in 10K miles. The largest DEF tank on the market.

    Coolant Leaking

    From the best of my research there is an official unofficial understanding that the Jeep eco is covered under the VB-1 recall. The right dealer the right service manager and verifiable condition is key and vehicle has to be down. Parts are in short supply, surprise right, so no official...

    Eco Diesel engine fires

    I am still confused over this issue. The EGR failure recall is in response to the engine fire issue as well as engine internal failure. Yet FCA wants to deny knowledge of every engine fire. I would be lead to believe that reports to NHTSA of engine fires may change some minds. I did not report...

    January 2020 Poll: Would you purchase your EcoDiesel again?

    Caveat! I would not have bought my 2014 if it ran like it did post AEM. It ran great before, a little weak towing 5K to 6K but normal driving great. Post AEM horrible. Within two weeks went with GDE, better than original, especially towing, same tow with no issues. My only real reoccurring issue...

    Just a thought....

    My 2014 always is slow to warm up. I have the radiator louvers, but I have modified to allow for external oil cooler fan. I will plug in block heater anything below the low 30's. Mine tends to get to about 147 and hovers until highway speed then warms up to 201. I have replaced my thermostat and...

    The o2 sensors location

    That looks like the DEF Injector. I have had to replace the #2 sensor which is described as the Carbon Level Sensor, still an O2 sensor, in my wife's Jeep GC eco. It had set a code, cleared, set again, replaced with OEM as the aftermarket did not cover, that was two years back. $185.00.

    2015 Ecodiesel Cruise Control

    Mine just quits out of the blue, while engaged it just quits and will not turn back on. Or will not turn on at all until I stop and restart. No amount of pressure, sequence. Replaced the touch pad and all was good for awhile then back to intermittent function. My next stop will be the steering...

    2016 ecodiesel exhaust filter full

    I have replaced the Carbon Level Sensor on my wife's JEEP eco which solved that code. The regen normally occurs at 2K and above rpms and normally occurs without any notification. Heavy foot does equal more soot but with sufficient highway driving regen takes care of it.

    New Software Update Rd 2

    We got our update recall this week. It is notable that FCA downplayed the number of complaints and the severity of the issue. It is good to hear that someone has had a positive result to an updated AEM. No we will not be participating.

    Throttle hesitation

    My wife's Jeep GC eco had delay but not as bad as my RAM. My truck would only make enough power to slow roll, when light changed I was still in intersection. When delay stopped the engine hit redline, wheels spinning, let off throttle to control, back into the throttle to the same delay. My wife...

    Throttle hesitation

    I have read on other forums as well as this one that FCA programmed up to a 4 second delay of the turbo on cold run to "protect the engine" damn near killed me in traffic, there is a 2.8 second delay in turbo on warm run, not sure why. My question is why have a variable vane turbo, which by...

    GDE Tune Experience & Performance please share

    Multiple answers: yes hand calculate EVIC varies as to accuracy. Pre AEM I got 24 average on Summer fuel and 22 average on Winter Blend fuel. Post AEM I got 22 average for the two weeks before I installed GDE. Post GDE, hand calculated, 26 mpg average Summer and 24 Winter Blend. No throttle lag...

    Electronic throttle control

    Sorry to hear of all the drama. With the year of your truck and the low mileage I am at a loss as to why the Dealer is giving you the run around on repairs and rental. I agree with Boostn that a call to Corporate and get a Case number and Supervisor on board to clarify Warranty coverage for the...

    How many miles on your Ecodiesel ??

    Update. Successful transplant of new DEF tank. Three day total. Cost covered under AEM extended warranty. The tech notes indicated a very good check sequence occurred with a visual inspection for crystal formation at fill neck, sensor area and scan tool for input and output before a new part...

    MAF Sensor code

    Could the plow initiating a heavier engine load requiring more air flow? I believe so, kind of like when I am towing my toyhauler. I have a OEM style K&N and it only reduces the inline air flow restriction, if cleaned properly and at each oil change interval. I remember my surprise once during...

    My adventure with SofaKingTuned

    With my GDE and pulling my 28ft Toyhauler Travel Trailer I am averaging 14mpg. Set cruise at 65mph and enjoy. When I pulled the same load to Montana with stock PCM, pre AEM, I averaged 13mpg, but suffered a few down rating due to heat in the high passes and could not even begin to think about...

    Service Engine - Electronic Throttle Control Warning Light

    Can happen. The EGR has a pressure sensor installed, when the EGR diffuser tube becomes clogged then the pressure sensor reads it and codes. Diffuser tube removal and cleaning is simple, can be done in the driveway, so the dealer should have no problem with cleaning. As an aside the clogged EGR...
