At that point I would try draining the def tank and cleaning the sensors, also the def injector in the exhaust could be restricted. Should all be simple stuff to do yourself. I had seen some def crystallization on the exhaust injector causing problems when I was researching low temp def years ago.
Honestly it won't hurt the truck either; even with the update. Fca outright said to me on the phone that I could run out my 5w30 oil change without any harm. And no flash is going to Make a certain oil weight all of a sudden insufficient. Assuming by this point you get where I'm going.

Yes that is correct, but the front differential is an oddball weight from mopar, every bit of research that I did people just switch to 75w90. Also is that the bottle does not fit to fill, you can either use a gear oil pump or what I did was put a section of hose on a gear oil cap and basically...

These are what I have Used, so I have a little over 50k running them. There is also a 3x pack which is what I normally get for 29.99
Personally I will be using champion synthetics global trans atf that is rated for 10 speed. Running it in my other vehicles with positive results, even correcting issues in an older transmission with a previously shuttering TC on another brand of new fluid, has since been corrected. I have been...
The irony behind that is I only know of one or two guys that actually do have 2 ecodiesel's and they're happy and problem free with both as far as I know.
One bad egg and guys are quick to dismiss the lot. And people just like to vent on the WWW of course
Very simple mechanical answer to this, Jack up your rear end with truck in Neutral, rotate one Tire by hand, if they both rotate same direction you have lsd, if they rotate opposite it's an open or standard Differential. Or I suppose a guy could do a burnout and check that way lol (powerbrake...
Had an issue with my drivers window refusing to Auto Up the last few days, not really sure what triggered it but was really bothering me.
Anyways simple fix, I had a 2001 Mercedes clk, frameless window coupe, if the battery was ever disconnected the windows would stick 4" from close, (they Auto...
Most of my commuting is small town 1-2 miles. Lots of idling with Minnesota winters. But I get a lot of highway miles also, I only run into high dpf issues if the truck doesn't get out of town for a week then it bitches it needs some drive time to burn off. No biggy. That's the "don't buy a...
Laramie longhorn has the painted bumpers. I have the white gold 2 tone and really like it. Only chrome is grill, door pulls, and tow mirrors, oh and a little chrome clad on the wheels but with the white gold painted inserts it's nothing flashy
so a few things wrong with the fuel filter procedure,
1.) book states to cycle the key with the Phillips drain open to drain without having to open it and break the vacuum. (I have not done this yet for a filter change so I'm not positive how thoroughly it drains and I have a solid drain plug...
