    just wondering how often the fuel filter needs changed?

    Agree. Before winter and after winter. $50 annual maintenance to your fuel system. People spend that in a couple of months on additives so what's the big deal

    New tires

    I was seriously considering going to the 65 series tire also but in the Cooper atw It's an all season but winter siped version of at3's. You're MPG calculations aren't considering that you're actually traveling more MPH and more miles than your Odo is reading because of the larger tire. I'm...

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    Replace maybe; but is it working? Is it actually engaging after replacement or just a new one thrown in and assumed it's ok? What pieces of that puzzle were the ones replaced?

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    I don't know about anyone else but my drain pans are far from clean. Gear oil, transmission fluid, oil, coolant. You can't just pour that oil into your rig. Oil touches that drain pan and it's garbage

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    Neat trick with the ez valve, if you recycle your oil and save the containers from your previous oil change you can drain it quart by quart with no mess at all back into containers to bring in. No oil pans, no mess at all. And if anything happens and you need to redo an oil change same thing...

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    I still do not understand the topsider method of oil changes. Even on my old Mercedes Clk where I had to remove the entire splash pan to drain the oil that was still my choice. At least you know what's going on under your engine. And the ram works great with the ez drain valve

    Ram EcoDiesel Oil Change Information

    For now this is still my choice and was my 3rd round of oil. Considering the Mobil ESP though. I am a fan of Mobil1 synthetic and have run it in all of my other (mostly German) gas vehicles for years.

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    If it's any consolation you're the only person I've ever heard of having this issue. But a day late and a dollar short I guess

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    Unfortunate scenario and I can't believe the dealers would leave you in that position. What about your purchasing dealer at home? Will they after the fact provide a loaner or won't they touch you without them physically doing the warranty Work?

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    I'd have flipped beyond your current state. Filing lemon law at this point and notifying Chrysler of doing so is definitely your best bet right now.

    It's Winter Here!

    At least someone's seeing snow this winter

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    Considering that is the only one on the ecodiesel yeah probably.

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    @renewal101 @01TwoForty you are right the "oil cooler" is only a heat sink that is moreso an oil warmer to get oil to efficient operating temps but it does virtually no good to actually cool the engine temp only capable of bringing it to coolant temp. If you look near the oil filter there is a...

    just wondering how often the fuel filter needs changed?

    A fuel Filters life is extended by simply draining it into a bucket. A gallon ice cream pail or the bottom half of a washer fluid or other frequently used gallon size jug sits perfectly on top of the drive shaft to catch any spillage. The factory drain plug takes a long time to drain. It vapor...

    2016 eco and no heat

    I've seen -35 below and the only issues I have is the blower not quite keeping up with defrosting the windows if there's too many people in the truck. But then again I've had a winter cover on at least partial since it's been 60°F and dwindling. I do know that if your climate control is on Auto...

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    I've heard of the throttle control. Maybe just a nox sensor for the exhaust. It's not been cold enough to really foul anything in the DEF system except maybe the injector is just plugged

    What exterior accessories have you added?

    You do get quite a bit of room to alter and Work with the quad reflectors. The factory projectors are super tight. I've managed to squeeze my ballasts and ignitors into the housing though and it's clean. All I have is two short wires coming from the seam of the rear cover for my HID power input...

    High idle?

    That's not GDE that's ram factory. It idles higher when the fluid is cold. There is a high idle switch available after market. It's compatible for the ecodiesel but designed for the Cummins. Regardless it's just plug and play on the rams fly by wire. But it runs almost 200$ but has many high...

    Most miles on a EcoDiesel

    @seiko you just stated in another Post for Fleet operators 350 hours to an oil change and at 25 miles/hour of wear that's 8750 miles. So not seriously that much of an increase over driving. @55MPH you'd put on 180 hours/10,000mi. Calculate 10,000/350hr it's ~28mi. But 350 hours Max on oil is...
