    Engine Block Heater

    Yeah. I was thinking I read in the manual, or the guys at the shop told me there wasn't any reason to heat the DEF. That the only think you needed to make sure of was not to fill it full. Because then your looking at a tank bust upon freezing.

    RECALL R51 - FCA Recommends a Winter Front Cover for Colder Climates with EcoDiesels

    Hey guys. Supposed to get down in the low 20s this wkd in southern Indiana. I just put my cover on they sent me. Make sure if you install this, the side tabs have to slide in behind grill, and in between headlights. Lower tabs just slide in between grill and bumper. Then place hooks over top shroud.

    RECALL R51 - FCA Recommends a Winter Front Cover for Colder Climates with EcoDiesels

    I live in southern Indiana. And received one of these covers in the mail today. I didn't even know it was coming. I saw a post somewhere, where someone was surprised they needed it in Missouri. The info that came with it said any consistent weather below 30° needs to have the cover on to keep...

    engine failure @ 148000 miles.

    I work for Cummins. I have seen all parts before assembly. I don't know if the gears are from same supplier, or if they have same procedures for making parts. But the crank, cam, and fuel pump gears are heat treated. Many times we would see parts come in different shades of colors from the...

    Oil leak.

    The salesman told me he would probably do a couple. The dealership owner only offered one. I got more value out of oil changes, and things don't always go as we would like them to go. I may fall in love with my truck all over again before warranty is up. And that would make the Challenger a bit...

    Oil leak.

    Not you again Shawn, I hope you've had breakfast! Lol, jk. Thx. He even made it sound that if I had problems after the oil changes came out, or after my warranty was up he would take care of it. But I also planted a bug in their ear that now that I have had that issue, and don't trust my truck...

    Warning about OCI indicator confuses me...

    DE filter? That must be something I missed reading my manual. I don't remember seeing a maintenance schedule for that?

    Oil leak.

    For my problems and truck being gone so long the dealership offered to make a truck payment for me. I negotiated oil changes instead. I told him I was in fear of something happening to my truck after having the bad oil change, and a mechanic fixing Mt truck that has never touched the ED, and...

    Oil leak.

    This last week I didn't have my truck was because the mechanic lost some O ring gaskets, and what not. And had to wait for new ones to finish assembly.

    Oil leak.

    Hungry KC masterpiece. Lol 52 days.. I finally got my truck back! It was gone so long the kids. 14, and 10. Forgot what it looked like. I meet with them next Monday to settle my inconvenience, and make sure I return as a customer.

    Oil leak.

    Update: Fuel lines came in last Monday, or Tuesday. Still no call to pick up. I go check on it this morning. Mechanic admits to me that he lost 2 O ring gaskets, had to order new ones last Friday. Here we are, waiting on freaking parts. Oh, and I say I'm running out of patience, I can't wait to...

    Oil leak.

    Update: I stopped by dealer to check if fuel lines had made it yet. They just did Tuesday morning. It's more than a couple of lines.. looks to be around 8 lines. My truck looks like a hot mess. So I'm like, now you got the lines it will be a couple days right.. he evaded the question, and said...

    Oil leak.

    Update: Any time the fuel lines are removed from the injectors they have to be replaced per Chrysler. I was told fuel lines would be in last Tuesday, truck done Wednesday or Thursday. Stopped in today to check on it. The fuel lines are a back order item.. So they still may or may not show up at...

    Oil leak.

    After some complaining the 2nd day it was in the shop, they put me in a 2014 loaded Ram with the Hemi that cost me $8-10 a day in fuel.. It's nice, but not my truck! They have had my truck long enough that I have put 1400 miles on their's, and little over 40hrs run time.. Oh, and they fired...

    Oil leak.

    Ok, so my truck has been in the shop this whole time since this post. I was told that they had to take the timming cover off to fix the oil leak, and also had to change a sensor. Some part was on back order.. now today I got a really confusing phone call. They had to order fuel lines. I asked...

    Oil leak.

    Just had my first oil change a few weeks ago by dealer. 1st one is free. I just noticed today, oil drops on my driveway. Checked plug, ok, checked filter, found puddle. Followed oil trail to oil fill. Looks like oil fill is an added part. Looks like my oil leak is coming from that joint. Don't...

    Engine Block Heater

    My sales and mechs didn't know either, but it was found. It's located front passenger side above the headlight, and under the shroud. You may have to dig around for it. Could they not look at your VIN # and not see if it was equipped? Anyways, here is where it's at if you have it. It is a...

    Hidden Treasure

    Yeah the dealers are not really up to date on these Ecodiesel either, or at least mine. I asked where the heater plug was located. The salesman had no idea. We took the truck into the shop to have a mechanic show us. He didn't know either, but at least he located it. I have a 2015 I bought in March.
