Here is my update. Got the truck back Tuesday of this week (Sept. 24). Been in the shop since September 9. They replaced the entire EGR system, all of the fuel injectors, the diesel particulate filter and the catalytic converter. In the mechanics words the entire system was sooted up. DPF at 135%, frequency codes, fuel at 65% whatever that means. No mention of the turbo boost code or throttle code. So clearly my system was having trouble regening before this and I spend a considerable amount of time highway driving. In all that time I have only seen three regen warnings and one of those failed. So I am a bit grateful for the extended warranty under the AEM since I now have over 38,000 miles on the truck. They billed FCA for over $7k in parts. What I notice is that the engine is louder though I have not seen the hesitation or acceleration delays that everyone is talking about. I am not as yet sure about mileage impacts. Truck seems to run fine, but I am feeling less confident in it if it soots up like this. Time will tell.
Glad you finally got your truck back .

Hi I just bought a 2016 ecodiesel . Whet I bought it oat was 30°c and the truck was driving ok . Now temp has lowered it drives like shit .
What can be done to solve this ? I've heard about GDE , but what is this ? Can't dodge rectify this themselves ? Can the ' update ' be undone ?
I live in Canada so I guess the previous owner didn't collect the 3k but got the updte anyway .
Thx

The EPA shut down GDE and a lot of the other aftermarket tuning companies last month, so I don’t know of any company that’s gonna be able to help you at this time.
