    Oil Presure

    Good news/Bad news kind of answer here. This engine has an off/on switch for oil pressure, once oil pressure exceeds 12 psi the ECM/PCM says all is good. The pressure you see on your dash gauge and the Vehicle Data Center is a computer algorithm estimating what the oil pressure should be at a...

    AlfaODB and DPF Regen

    I have used my Alfa and the OBDLink MX to force regen a couple of times, my 2500 RAM and my wife's Jeep Eco. I have the PC version and on the Plotted Data selection you can select the processes that you want to view. I believe around tab 11 there is a urea level although it is MM not percent of...

    Service Electronic Throttle Control ( Intake butterfly valves and Motor controls)

    I would like to correct a miss-statement, the Select Catalyst Reduction uses the DEF, the ammonia reduction and catalyst reaction reduces the NoX content in the exhaust. With a tune to eliminate the SCR or both the SCR and the Diesel Particulate Filter the tune should have removed the...

    Service Electronic Throttle Control ( Intake butterfly valves and Motor controls)

    Yes a long read. I will try to provide some insight but may not be able to answer all questions. To start I own two ecodiesels, one in my 2014 RAM and one in my wife's 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My RAM has 180K+ miles and my wife has 200K+ miles. First the Service Electronic Throttle System...

    Any up to date Ecodiesel rebuild parts and advise

    Manuals non-existent. Best option is the personal use ALLDATA subscription. Assembly, disassembly and specifications for re-machining. The process referred to as line boring the block is one step in what we call Blueprinting. Too complex to explain on this space but basically ensure that the...

    100% Exhaust Filter

    Awesome news. I use Green Diesel Engineering tune.

    100% Exhaust Filter

    Since you state that you are new to the diesel world I thought a few tips that were not mentioned until you got a resolution. Once you get the message of 100% Diesel Particulant Filter you are now in non Regen and Limp Home Mode, no top gear, down rated HP. Never shut down the engine if you have...

    Regen ?

    It depends on the code. The Service Electronic Throttle System message, which is set by some 88 conditions, will stop all Regens. Any code that sets Limp Home Mode will stop Regens. And then there are other codes that do not effect Regens. It sounds like your code, which you did not name, may be...

    2022 Ram tuners

    Am using the EPA approved Green Diesel Engineering Hot Tune. Very pleased with it, more HP, MPG and no turbo lag with lowered engine temps while towing. If you are looking for a "Name That Will Not Be Said" kit, good luck all U.S. developers and dealers have been shut down by the EPA.

    Introduction

    Welcome to the Forum. The low voltage code can be diagnosed with a battery load test and charging system stress test, all performed with the dealers scanner. Replacement of the alternator, battery, voltage sensor on negative battery pole or ECM update can resolve this code. On a side note, the...

    High pressure fuel pump

    Great plan. Now the OEM HPFP is a BOSCH CP4.2 which is a twin cylinder high pressure pump. The warranty replacement will be a BOSCH CP3.0 a single cylinder slightly lower pressure pump.

    2017 3.0 will crank but not start. Has no codes.

    Several possible issues, crank sensor, cam position sensor, HPFP failure, lift pump failure. Many times would not throw a code, you may only see an anomaly while actively scanning during start cycle. A good diesel mechanic is paramount for diagnosis. Good Luck.

    Prevent Cam Gear failure on EcoDiesel

    Sorry for your issues. To answer your question, multiple issues, wiring harness, ECM, transmission swap, easier to get the gas engine truck. FCA has misrepresented inventory as well as re-builders available. Research independent shop re builders for your eco, you may have to travel but there are...

    P026C again

    I have not had the HPFP replacement, we are still being told indefinite backorder, and I have received this code several times. My lift pump was loosing its flow rate, wearing out, once replaced I have not had that code repeated. Since you have had the HPFP replaced the fuel injectors and fuel...

    Manual Regen

    If your reader can differentiate between upstream or downstream sensor it is fairly simple to replace the NoX sensor. I had the same issue with my 2500 RAM with the Cummins 6.7L (279K miles and change) and I identified the offending NoX sensor and replaced, no more codes. The nationwide...

    Fuel leak after turbo coolant line replacement

    The dealer replaced my turbo coolant line last year. This summer we began smelling diesel fuel occasionally through vents. Then an acrid smell when coming to a stop. Progressively got worse, finally had a small puddle of diesel under the truck while parked for four hours, while out of town, upon...

    Swirl Valve/Manifold cleaning

    I have been using the two part BG Intake System Clean to keep it from building up. My wife's Jeep eco is getting the same code, I missed several services, and I am having limited success with an already stuck swirl valve system. Short of pulling the manifold that would be the best bet. Question...

    Poor mpg 2016 eco diesel 3.0L

    Have read the thread and you have received some excellent answers, so I can only add my experience. My 2014 eco is stock except for the K&N air filter and the GDE EPA Compliant tune, I am presently running LT 10 ply tires in stock size, no lift. I run 23 mpg in town and 26 hwy. I consistently...

    CV Axle issues

    My 2014 has presently 183K miles and my right side boot has torn, may be my fault, OK it is my fault, so I am expecting to replace in the near future. I was removing the airbags and installing shock spring struts and may have pinched things while forcing my way vs. the trucks way. From my...
