EoC were willing g to ship to me 3 months ago, and I live in New Zealand. If push comes to shove, have it divered to a shipping agent on Canadian side of the border then shipped to CO from there.

170k miles is pretty decent. My 2014 RAM EcoD failed at 103k miles, but only becasue I overheated it (my fault), but perhaps it was on the way out anyway. Currently rebuilding my engine. I am gonna get a stage 1 EoC engine/trans tune, but before I even start the new engine, I will be blocking...

So, I am rebuilding my engine atm. I am not sure what a wet EGR Pipe is (assume one of the 2 rubber hoses that connect coolant to the EGR Hxer, in which case is an external leak and would not put coolant into the oil). I can understand a leaking oil cooler putting coolant into the engine. But...

Spoke to PDR Diesel in BC, Canada. They said asbolutely this pipe can be plugged off, so that's what I'm gonna do.

So, there is no way I wanna put the Exhaust Gas back into my now clean inlet manifold. But I haven't got the EoC tune with EGR deactivation, in yet, and won't before I restart the new engine. Can anyone see any raeson why I can't just put a blanking plate in this joint arrowed in this pic? I...

OK, Thanks. Any idea where I can buy a new crankshaft from? The Local RAM dealer here in NZ wants NZD4350+ 15% tax, and of course delivery is who know when. I am a bit weary of buying one made in China....

Has anyone ever dealt with these guys? https://www.ecodieselusa.com/ I would like to discuss their crankshaft (givenm I need anew one) with them, I understand they make their own. But their website only has wensite type email contact (and they have not replied), and no phone number. Does...

Thanks John, good to know. What does MRT stand for?

I started o clean my manifold yestrday. This is 163,000km of heart attack......... GDE wont do an EGR delete due to California law. But it seems EOC will. I want to do an EGR delete but keep the DEF system. Will let you know how that goes.

So, have you done Girdle Mods to VM 3.0?

Yeah it's too late for me, I own the truck, complete with blown motor lol. So I just get to fix it. Interesting your comment about girdles/Billet mains. Is this a mod you did to the VM 3.0? Or some other engine?

Yeah I have been told it is not a great design, and it's not. But thinking about it, is it really that bad? Normal engines have individual main bearing caps, on the Ecodeisel engine these are just all joined together as "the bedplate". What''s more, the bed plate has 4 bolts per main (so in...

Hi Adam, I have a 2014 ecoD and am in Auckland, NZ. I was about to get a tune early July when I overheated my engine and fried it (spun 3 mains). But before that, I was dealing with GDE, they seemed to know what they are talking about...

So, mine is a 2014 Eco Diesel. On July 5th I blew the engine (due to overheating I suspect), at 163,000km (101,000 miles). I had the engine removed as I did not have the facilities to do that myself. That was NZ$2,000. However, I did strip it myself. In fact, the top end is mint, even still...

For steering wheel heater, that sounds like the clock spring (located behind the steering wheel and airbag). I lost cruise control when mine went. It's a bit of a mission to replace, but not too bad, just takes a bit of time, and mirrors to see wat you are doing in particular to unclip the air...

I have a 2014 Eco. The DEF tank in mine is 8 US Gallons. Seriously, mine takes up around 15,000 km to burn 8 USG! So not unusual to have no movement in only 350 miles. Another thing these DEF systems do (it's not just Dodge systems): DEF is basically 50% water and 50% Urea. This stuff...
