The new updates incorporate the parameters from the oil specification change. My truck has done the same thing since my reflash for the oil spec. it drives me crazy 60mph up a less than 2% grade and I have to pull back just a little on throttle to get 8th, then have to be real ginger to keep...
Now I am going to assume that you reset the Oil Service Life when you changed oil, but for the ECM to note 40K since last oil change vs. reality of 22K that this step is irrelevant to the issue. Just a guess but I would be looking for a replacement ECM from the dealer. When I changed to Rotella...
PCM is the worst case scenario, self help is the cheap, easy, items first to eliminate the big bad ones that only the dealer or reputable shop can handle.
Good Luck.
If your message is 100% Full and you have driven with engine at operating temp. at highway speeds for 15 to 20 minutes and message does not go away, the vehicle will eventually go into Limp Home Mode. At that point you will need the Dealer or Witech equipped shop. The Witech tool is the FCA...
Welcome to the Community.
I would agree to a point with TC about first diesel, as a mechanic my 2014 ED is my first diesel as well, but I have a stable of customers diesels to have experience with prior. You will need a good scanner to winnow out the false alarms, most FCA dealers have little to...
My 2014 had an "Over Air Update" this last summer, radio functions did not work the whole 39 minute drive home. Instructions at end stated turn off vehicle and restart to reboot, did so, only issue is I lost all my programed radio and Sirius/XM channels. Now the maps in Nav are a different...
Wow, multiple possibilities. First and foremost as long as the Electronic Throttle System Service message is displayed you will be in Limp Home Mode and your Regen Cycles will be STOPPED, thus filling your Diesel Particulate Filter creating another problem, so do not drive the vehicle. Now you...
I agree with TC. Based upon where you live the Dealer would be your best bet for Wytech. However based upon forum history and personal experience the service delivered by your local Dealer may not be satisfactory, or inexpensive, so be picky, talk with other RAM diesel owners, check feedback for...
I know it has been a minute since this post, but I wanted to weigh in. First and foremost a disclaimer, I have used K&N air filters on all my street machines for years and all my professional racing motorcycles also for years. Also for years I have been reading Laboratory tests after Laboratory...
I had seen the Ecoguard line but was hesitant, yes due to the low price, good to hear they are up to par.
My OA mirrors yours, good to see I'm able to keep good company. My wifes 2015 eco Grand Cherokee is also showing good OA even with us purchasing it with 70K miles on the clock.
My eco came with trailer brake factory option with the tow package, after running aftermarket brake controllers for years the smooth, seamless operation of this RAM was almost breathtaking. You should completely enjoy the system, if installed properly.
Just a few years ago Bio-Diesel was the rage. Now only location I know of near me is in Oklahoma City, I have found two locations there selling 5%. Truck runs great on it but loses a mile or two in mpg.
After reading the study posted I remember reading it years back after the comment period for...
Actually it is good to hear that your first repair lasted two years.
However the Service ETC code sets several parameters to Limp Home Mode, which includes no DPF regen, lowered boost, shortened or limited injector pulse, limited gear selection, which sets a code for Implausible Gear Selection...
2014 Laramie Longhorn 4x4 bought used with 20K miles in 2016, now have 74K.
Recall on DPF and Catalyst, several Service Electronic Throttle message which, so far, has been a glitch or bad sensor connection, a couple of Intake Manifold Runner sensor low, which has been a bad connection and I am...
What I use are a couple of products and there are several good products on the market. So, I use BG All Season Diesel Fuel Conditioner at 4oz per tank and BG 245 Fuel System Cleaner at oil change. I have also used Diesel Power Services fuel conditioner and Lucas Diesel Fuel System cleaner with...
Radio comes on whenever the truck is on, I would like to turn it off. Back up cam has time out selection available through settings on the UConnect screen in center console. No mirror or window controls on keyfob. Between my 95 Chevy and my wife's Jeep I am constantly trying to find the gear...
I use BG Diesel Fuel Conditioner in each tank, about 4oz. At each oil change I use the BG Fuel System Service, 457 if I remember correctly. Have customers that use the Power Service brand with no issues.
I was plowing the Ford Factory website and could find no Average Fuel Mileage claims. According to Ford the 10 speed has the top three as overdrive ratios. The ZF 8 speed has the top two gears as overdrive ratios. This is interesting as the Ford F150 lost quite a bit of weight with the aluminum...
