Affirmative, same shit, so every 115k give or take you'll have a failure and have to split the transmission

Also curious what you mean by unexpectedly high maintenance costs? 100$ oil change at 9k interval, and a 40$ fuel filter ~annual? Differentials, and well that's all. Other than getting screwed with diesel prices the actual maintenance costs are at or below norm

Yeaaaa ain't got one of those, my used oil isn't sooty bs. And it goes straight back into the clean 2.5 from the past oil change. Accounting for that and the pretty fine filtration of the ecodiesel's fuel filter I wasn't worried to much about causing injector issues unless I tried dumping it in...

January I was having excess noise from my pump especially if below 1/4 tank like it was cavatating. Late winter after a few months running #1. This was back in February and I had the dealer order a pump, was supposed to be a week ended up being 3 months. I said screw it honestly wasn't worth (to...

I just came to chat about this; I was having excess noise from my pump especially if below 1/4 tank like it was cavatating. Late winter after a few months running #1. This was back in February and I had the dealer order a pump, was supposed to be a week ended up being 3 months. I said screw it...

Well cold engine and a patient hour racking my knuckles I got er done. Bunch of wd40 did the trick. 1/4" breaker bar with extension and 8mm deep well (Make sure the hex is full length or most of the socket to fully seat the hex, Stanley's weren't, ol harbor freight Pittsburgh was though.) The...

And dealer installed crate engines get 3 year Warranty to boot

Well just ticking 163k had this little guy show up. Guess I'll order one up and try it..

Yes sir that would be tone wheel or crank position sensor failure. You're at the target mileage.

It doesn't hold up in cold climates, it's a flawed system with no dryer. Vacuumed and nitrogen charged but atmospherically vented, so temp swings it brings in moisture which corrodes the valve body of the compressor, freeze thaw cycles and not fully seated valves constantly screws up the pump...

Absolutely Work them. Mine went on a diet about 80k so egr cooler can't leak from a box in storage 🤣 dealer bugs me about open recalls for that and aem though gets a good chuckle. After a year off heavy tow duty I finally had to see if old girl still had it. Miss the factory air suspension though.

About 1600 idle, 3400 driving 154k and the only actual failure being the tone wheel I'm not complaining much but the cost effectiveness of Repair definitely goes out the window when the crate gives so much more bang for the buck. I wouldn't have much problem throwing a fresh motor at it knowing...

No it's cp4.2 with hardened internals so less prone to failure, the pump is like 1700 or so, I was quoted 2500. So that price with rails is not bad. mine is getting noisier, can feel on the line to the rail it's banging fuel in so maybe cavitation occurring? And it will start squealing like...

Motor dies no restart, dead crank position sensor so crank no start until diagnosis and transmission split for Repair. The tone wheel is cheap but sensor if damaged or just doing it while it's open was like 600$ as well.

Only if he's certified. Otherwise they'll maybe reimburse parts but that's all

It's possible yourself but with the recall and extended reimbursement it's Best to let a ram dealer Repair it. They had mine done in 2 days I believe. Also replaced rear main seal while in there

Same replacement part, has not been subbed yet. I wouldn't mind for the 200$ Bill you had, but no aem for myself as I'm deleted so I got it in the shorts. I'd assume that's the same composition transfered to the new generation engine

I'll be honest, I have coils sitting in my garage just waiting for it to fail again this winter. I can't out of pocket 2k for a compressor assembly to do it again in a year. I absolutely love it, but it's flawed by design.

Yeah me too. That hurt my feelers. But 5 years and 115k, it's not a new vehicle anymore. One failure can't have me too sour I guess

Well, $1,331.70 later I have an operational Truck again. Ouch. First actual breakdown, only other problems i've ever had were air suspension winter related. Dealer confirmed tone ring magnetic pieces missing and crank position sensor code. Both were replaced along with one time use hardware and...
