Hrm... okay, so something like this would still involve a tune to do something about the EGT sensor. What about re-routing the pipe to a catch-can? (I know, this sort-of does away with that whole "keep it looking untouched" idea).

So, most of us know that whoever came up with the idea of cramming soot back down the throat of our Ecodiesels should be tortured... slowly and painfully. Here's a thought though - the forums here and elsewhere all talk about EGR cooler deletes and tunes and the like, but what about taking the...

A good tune and a Banks intake will do wonders. The DEF injector is an afterthought. My intention was to stop what kills these engines by ridding myself of the EGR system and running the above, but the DEF injector doesn't really have to go.

I had a similar issue about a year ago.. it literally happened 10 weeks after I bought the truck. The stealership claims the filter housing was so clogged up that the pump burned out. They replaced both, along with the HPFP and the TIPM module under the hood too because the relay was burned out...

For those of us with 40-thousand dollar lawn ornaments like I do ... This morning I found this ... for the princely sum of 11 dollars. "Rammos Flexible Magnetic Tape 1 inch Wide x 10 Feet Magnet Strips Roll with Strong Back Sticky for DIY, Craft Projects, Motari Tone Rings, Whiteboards &...

Photograph everything - and write out the timeline. Then send it to your local News outlets "Consumer reports" divisions. I'm beginning to get the feeling FCA has deliberately failed to train technicians on this engine, or the nuances of them.

I'm half tempted to call Holley or Haltech and asking them to look into this - even if it's a custom job, the potential for ALL 3.0's is too hard for them to pass up if all they need is a bit of wire, a reluctor, a sensor, and the original wave-pattern of the original setup. ALSO, rename the...

My truck has been down since December - I was bilked out of $5,300 dollars for most of the fuel system, and the problem wasn't even fixed. I still have no start, no electric fuel pump priming when turning the key, and a runaway starter when I key it to "start" until I literally spin the key back...

My pump failed in tank according to the stealership I took it to. Then they said the filter housing/heater never had a filter change and it contaminated the entire system. Then I receive a 15-thousand dollar quote on a truck I made 2 payments on. Warranty would not cover it. Then I negotiate the...

It's time like these I wish FCA would go under federal investigation and "Settle" out of court by replacing all these Pasta-diesels with 4BT's. I can dream... right?

Importapart - guy is on Youtube as "IdoCars", really easy to work with - and stands behind what he sells. He did a teardown on one of our Ecodiesels a while back before he knew what causes their failures. He has access to get more if necessary.

I'm just curious - my dead after 10-weeks Lone Star is now 3 months disabled. The new mechanic I have working on it is fairly confident I have a tone ring failure (like many of you also thought). I've placed 8 orders for them, every time they're cancelled because their websites are out of date...

Pushbutton or keyfob ignition? If keyfob, when you turn to "Start" and let go so it rebounds back to the "run" position, does it still keep cranking away until you manually turn it back to "off" ?? I've run into that issue, and most are suggesting the tone ring failed.

Two small updates : 1. I submitted my information to RamCare - trying to detail as much as possible to them about 5 days ago. Tuesday morning I received two replies stating that they opened up a claim case and are investigating the dealership I took my truck to. I basically told them I just...

So, I've been reading around here and several other forums, and in all honesty it really sounds like I may have a delaminated tone ring. That is going to *seriously* piss me off because the dealer carpet bombed a repair that had nothing to do with anything I experienced. From what I understand...

You know, that's what I thought too. My original one did, my new one doesn't. This is after they changed the PDC too which if I'm not mistaken includes the integrated fuel pump relay. I wrote FCA yesterday and informed them of the practices of said dealership and what I've doled out so far, and...

107k - right about where the failure interval is. When I brought it in there, I requested that they run my VIN against the recall database, and do a history on what's been done on this truck since I recently purchased it. According to them all recall work was done aside from the upcoming HP Fuel...

Doesn't that typically throw you a crank position sensor code?

I'll be cracking open the the drain and the line heading towards the HP Fuel pump, and anywhere else down the circuit systematically to ensure flow. They were adamant that I have a clog somewhere. I was adamant that the day it died, I drove it to work perfectly fine at highway speeds with no...

My truck went in back in December, some of you may have seen that thread. I took it in because I no longer heard the electric pump or what I thought was the electric pump in the back make what I thought was typical electric pump noises. I thought I had a fuel delivery issue. It'd crank like a...
