I've had my 14' eco for about a month. It has 23k miles. Second week of ownership it starts doing a regen back to back. As soon as it says it completes one within a mile it says it's 90% full again.
I drive 40ish miles a day, 35 of it on the interstate. Light comes on, I take it to the dealer. They clear the code and say I'm not driving it far enough at interstate speeds. I take it to a diesel mechanic, they diagnosis it and take it to the dealer and tell them what to do. Dealer orders a dpf filter and some other stuff. Takes a week for parts to come in. I've had the truck about a week since they installed those parts. Drove 360 miles with no regen, light comes on. Stop by dealer, they say it'll be 2 weeks before they can even look at it. As soon as I leave dealer a message comes up and says "Exhaust system 90%full" Well my 3/36 warranty expires Saturday, so I need this thing in the dealers hand pronto.
I call Chrysler and lady tells me to take it to a dealer that can work on it. Lady gives me a case number and tells me a case manager will contact me and they will escalate my file.
I took it to the one in the next town and that's where it spent the night. They tell me they've had an eco there a month and have no idea whats wrong with. claim they need a tool to test something that dodge doesn't have. This makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
My local dealer printed out a vip summary report. It shows everything done under warranty, boy howdy if I'd seen that before I would NOT have bought the truck. Here is the list
DPF at 23K
Sensor, diesel exhaust pressure 22K
Converter, catalytic at 22K
Filter, particulate-Regenerate at 21.6K
injector at 19.5K
injector at 19.4K
Valve, EGR at 19K
Module, ECM at 17K
Module, ECM 9K
I really like the truck. Just up in odds on what to do with it. Would a GDE tune fix it? How about a full delete?
thoughts or comments would be appreciated
