Thanks, good to know we are still on a handshake basis. So the manufacturer(s) have since recorded time recommended against using fuel or oil additives. I can reference certain British motorcycle and automobile manufacturers shop and owners manuals. After discussions with Corporate Engineering...

Received my notice in the mail Friday, June 30.

In legal news. Again reading a hard copy, July 2017 edition of Car and Driver magazine article entitled The Fix Is In, I'm sure they are on the internet. Story relates an EPA and CARB approved software fix for ALL GEN III VW TDI vehicles, test drive showed NO loss of performance but an increase...

Excellent! You categorically state that you use a fuel additive and state that you do not use oil additive and then quote the owners manual that states not to use either! Not wanting to appear smug or snubbing your post, by all means use, or not use additive products as you see fit, which is why...

Well lets think about it for a minute. You cannot completely control your drive cycles or the weather so I recommend oil stabilizer at each oil change, for protection against not only fuel but moisture and acids. However if you are starting with a new clean engine and injection system why do we...

OK John and all other readers. I stated that I have seen 12 qts out of a 10 qt. engine. I have actually seen 30qts in a 22 qt. engine as well. Yes a over-fueling injector can be the cause, a failed seal in the injector pump, worn piston and rings, and now regen cycles can be the cause. Yes we...

Yep my four wheel drive model summer time avg. 23mpg, highway 25 to 27mpg, winter time is 22mpg avg. 22mpg highway, go figure!

John I, I may have answered some of your questions in another forum, but will reply here as well. I recommend and use a diesel oil stabilizer additive at the same time that I use a high quality full synthetic CJ-4 standard diesel engine oil. Research and pick a quality product available in your...

OK, some amount of diesel fuel in the motor oil is unavoidable, however as indicated by the excellent AMSOIL videos posted by MSP548 the regen cycles tend to increase the amount of fuel dilution being experienced. No the fuel is not pumped through the crankcase it inadvertently ends up there...

Sorry no. I am one of the anachronisms that is old enough to still like to read a hard copy print format. I have the magazine in question on the desk at the shop. I am sure that the publisher has a web presence but I am unaware of it. I thought it was quite relevant in the discussion of engine...

I am going to side with TC on this one, as an article in the May Diesel Power magazine relating to the oil change in the ED, which a FCA engine development engineer stated that the oil change was due to fuel dilution levels being unacceptably high in the ED. Stated reason, the regen cycle...

Hate to jinx it, but 2014 now with 45,000+ miles. Warranty replaced DPF and CAT, occasionally get the Throttle Position System service code which results in Low Turbo Boost code, which then results in Low Injector Flow code. After scanning and reset not able to recreate for a couple or three...

That would be funny if it wasn't so unexpected. When we first purchased our 2014 my wife hit the shift mode trying for the Cruise Control, she got a message of "unable to perform function" which quickly went away. When I scanned for all codes there was a Transmission code of "implausible shift...

That is correct a lift pump in tank and the high pressure pump on the engine run off a camshaft gear. My 2014 shot the CEL within minutes of a fuel fill up out of town with no running issues. When I got home to my shop I read the same code, looked up running issues and fixes, since I had no...

Agreed! Timeline, it took three to five years to transfer technology from a GM project to an FCA project. I read about possible RAM 1/2 ton diesel as far back as 2009. The same emissions issues would appear on both platforms. After reading all the EPA documents, much berated on other topic...

They use the same systems and procedures as that is mandated by EPA, big difference is they use a proprietary ECM, FCA in both the Cummins and ED use a BOSCH ECM which is the same ECM that VW used. EPA, by their own statements, is "investigating any and all users of the this ECM". So EPA is...

Actually the dealer I bought the truck at wants $250.00, we have since changed dealers.

I have a 2014 and yes I got a new catalyst and DPF on a recall, but other than that the normal nitpicking stuff fixed under warranty. Dome lights go dim, replaced, air leak at drivers side door upper rear corner, only on cross wind, dealer could not duplicate. Go figure. Man, I was a Chevy guy...

The lowest dealer cost for oil change on the ED here is $200.00, I did it myself for out of pocket expense of $99.00 so your cost of $110 is a pretty good deal. Our Dodge dealer will make the multiple oil change reduced price for my wife's Charger but not for my ED. Go figure!
