John, click the link, when you do that you are IN the correct thread, at that point scroll to post number 715. You can find the post number in the upper right corner of each post. I’m out. I’ve been accused of posting fake news and basically called a liar. My intent was just to forward some...

Click the link I provided and then start reading at post number 715 in that thread. How can I spoon feed this to you any better?

Start with post #715 https://www.ram1500diesel.com/#/topics/62406?page=72

It was posted directly by GDE in the “other” forum. Take a look for yourself.

But don’t believe me, call GDE and visit with them before scheduling your dealer fix.

Everyone be careful planning a easy ECM swap. GDE is saying they have to analyze FCA’s new software and then come up with a completely new tune program. They say it could take months to develope. You will NOT be able to just throw your existing GDE tuned ECM back in the truck when you get...

I doubt it because all those items are covered in the 10 year warranty now. Good luck finding a taker.

Whats your opinion on Amsoil, TC Diesel?

I think half the problem is people using them like a 3/4 ton diesel. That said, I use a friction modifier (Archoil AR9100) in my 2016 since bearing lubrication seems to be the Achilles heel with these things. Mine has 30,000 miles on it now and no issues yet. I also have the GDE tune.

I would change the oil. Lots of short trips in town isn’t the best either. Fresh oil at least annually seems like good advise.

Put me down for no. My next truck will not need a $800 ecm tune the minute I drive it off the lot just so i feel like my odds of it breaking down will be lessened. My truck has been trouble free for 18 months since new. I like the truck very much, except the sub par headlights. I just don't...

I wanted that tire in the worst way, but I wasn't willing to risk it rubbing in the front so I stuck with the P rated stock size. How do they fit up front, any rubbing? Is your suspension altered at all?

If I wasn't going to upgrade to an all terrain, I wouldn't do anything at all.

I do use Archoil AR9100, which is a nano friction modifier, so who knows, maybe it actually does what it says it does.

I have 20,000 miles on my 16. I've had two OA's done and my iron was 16 in the first sample and 20 in the second sample. Is 44 high for this motor, I'm not sure, but its more than double my highest reading so far.

Since your truck hasnt even arrived yet, I would think if you expressed your concerns with your dealer, they should offer you a pretty reasonable deal to trade the OEM tire for one you would be happy with.

The ones I have are P rated also, but they do have E rated options as well if that is important to you.

The load on the P tires will be fine in my opinion. The problem is the tires that will come on the truck will be Goodyear Wrangler SRA. They are really cheap highway tires that suck terrible bad in snow or really on any unpaved surface. I traded my stock tires in on a good set of Toyo Open...

Where does all the crud go? I would assume it goes into the crank case.

Great post John. Shows FCA in near panic mode with a 90% engine failure rate increase in 2016 alone to an FCA report 215 failure average per month. Anyone know what a CNS is as it was referenced in the document?
