Some of the Chrysler service and just associated time with any Repair process really adds fuel to the fire of anyone's complaints in a forum. There are thousands and thousands of ecodiesel's out there now and we dwell on the negativity of the 20 that are spread across the forums that they're all...
No you can't, there's a few options, relatively inexpensive scanners like the one @moparecodiesel Used to show in his videos are basic options, or there's an "edge cts" scantool available that's a lot more high end and there is a pillar mount available for the module. Nice digital display.
I...
Yeah if you spend a lot of time running around town and the soot content in the exhaust gets high you can smell the DEF burning off in the exhaust as it wants to do a regen. I'm in a very small town so my everyday errands promote no highway time and very little full temp time so occasionally I...
So oddly enough I contacted Champion Oils regarding the Blue Flame Diesel Oil which is a new line with 5w30. They clued me in that it's actually the same exact formula as the low SAPS syngold that is Chrysler MS11106 spec for the ecodiesel, except it has Blue dye for the "Blue Flame" product...
looks nice, I like the ecodiesel badge relocation.
You haven't put any mud flaps or rock guards on yet? At least the front? My tires beat the heck out of my painted running boards the first couple days driving before I got some.
Anyways welcome to the forum! We'll try to help answer any...
I know and in a sense I do trust the truck. In another sense, I dread the failure horror stories and there's not enough engines out there and enough use that I know of going 100k and no failures so where does that put all us? I'd just rather be preventive if I do keep it in the all knowing...
Hd leaf springs and a 9.25 rear end were factory available options and the dakota was already classified as a half ton capable truck with a midsize platform. So with available hd options equipped owners considered it a 3/4 ton dakota. Still only a heavy half. And still a midsize platform but...
Also in mn, the ecodiesel has been good to me. I just passed a year old last week and just turned 29k today. I use Lucas oil most fills but I can't tell you the difference. I fill up at Holiday virtually every time with their seasonal blend I've had no issues though the winter was mild...
You just would've needed a little extra steel and some variety, and a whole saw. You know how you extended the uprights a second time? Then instead of using a single cross member use two, an upper and a lower. Use two inch square or rectangle, have the upper one pass all the way through and the...
I personally would've Used PVC for the tubes and then utilized a metal frame. even being well painted and whatever you do, the metal will retain water more and rust inside the tubes. And unless you're using very expensive DOM (drawn on mandrel) steel then the weld seam is going to tear apart...
