I have 5000 miles on my motor. I haven’t seen any problems with the 2018 Eco diesel does anybody know of any?

Welcome! A few problems do exist for all years of the EcoDiesel. I would recommend reading around the forums, we've got plenty of info!

4000 miles? Man, you need to drive that thing. Drop by Talladega and lets go take it out on the track!

I also have an '18 with 18k miles. GDE hot tune and GDE tranny tuned since 600 mile mark. I did get a recall notice for the tailgate issue. Runs and drives awesome. And living in Florida, I use distilled water only in my DEF tank. Still no issues.

Did you have any concerns with a tune and if it would void warranty. I have an 18 with 2k miles and the warranty is constantly on my mind. Is it possible to buy a 2nd tuned ECM and then swap out for stock if issues arise? Or will hrs and or mileage be recorded? Can't seem to find out details.

You can keep your stock ECM and swap them if you want. Chances of the dealer noticing a bench flashed tune like GDE is slim. It is possible but most have had warranty work done with no issues.

Chaidawgg, if you are concerned about the warranty, then Luc_sko response is what you would do.
