Engine Life Expectancy

[John Pfannenbecker]

Hi all, 2015 Ram Ecodiesel Laramie Longhorn Limited 135K miles mostly highway. No modifications, unfortunately did ERG recall so have hesitation from stop. If properly maintained what do fellow owners think engine life expectancy is?

The VB! recall (cooler replacement) should have no effect on the engine performance. Or are you referring to the VO8-VA7 AEM Emissions recall? That could affect hesitation.
Engine life is effected by so many factors, it's hard to say how long yours will last. There are many running over 300,000 - 400,00 miles

TUNE IT IF YOU CAN! It's getting harder and harder to find a good tuner that shuts off the EGR tho.

Thank you! Encouraging to hear after seeing some of the posts here requiring engine replacements.
