Engine let go

[Ram_Diesel_power]

After 90k my 2015 has let me down. Ive owned it since it had 20k on it. I’ve always used rotella t6 and changed it every 6k miles. It must of spun a bearing. Motor sounds horrible and silver flecks now on the oil dipstick and reads no oil pressure. Who makes a built motor. I’ve got full emissions delete. I just won’t a motor that will last if it’s taken care of. My old 93 dodge with a 5.9 Cummins has 358k on it. WTH. New stuff is awful disappointing. Looking for a good crate motor.

It's the inherited risk all VM 3.0 engine incur Hero/Zero status. It will be costly and time consuming to repalce, the replacement will have the same risk.

Is there a replacement oil pump that would give more oil pressure at lower rpm’s?

You could do that I suppose but that is not the problem. Not is emissions, how you drive , the oil you use or how meticulous you are. It has to do with linebore sloppiness, torsional flexing of the crank, skinny bearings and if your truck was built on a Tuesday.
it would sure be nice if FCA fessed up and a class action took over the repairs.
sorry about the loss.

That hasn't been available for a long time and not to mention it's really no different than a regular ecodiesel
