2016 RAN 107,000 MILES NO PROBLEMS AND THEN THE FIRE IN THE INTAKE CAUSED BY EGR THAT THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW THE REASON FOR( BEFORE THE RECALL) FOR THE BURNED INTAKE. DEALER FLASHED THE ECM AND THE TROUBLE STARTED . NUMBER 6 INJECTOR STUCK OPEN AND FLOODED THE PISTON AND BENT THE PUSH ROD. WITH THE INJECTORS COVERED THE LAW SUITE IT COVERED ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY COVERED PARTS. NEW CRATE MOTOR WILL BE INSTALLED BY TUESDAY NEXT WEEK WITH NO PARTS USED FROM MY OLD MOTOR. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH FCA BUT I CAN'T COMPLAIN. MY BE MY DEALER TALKING TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE .

That is awesome, it is nice that some dealers stand behind their products. Let us know how the new engine performs..
Good to hear that FCA is taking care of you. No such luck with me my insurance installed a used Motor. At 59k miles.

PICKING MY TRUCK UP MONDAY. MOTOR WAS INSTALLED ON FRIDAY 20TH AND HAD TO REPLACE A SENSOR ON THE EXHAUST AND HAD TO DO A FORCED REGEN TO BURN OIL OUT OF THE DPF. THEY DROVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 50 MILES AND NOX SENSOR WENT OUT. REPLACED FRIDAY MORNING AND THEY PUT ANOTHER 50 MILES ON IT AND NO PROBLEMS AS OF 2 PM . DEALER DRIVING IT AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING AND THEN I CAN PICK IT UP. IT HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME TO FIX . I HAD TO PUSH ON FCA WITH THE LAW FIRM HANDLING THE LAW SUITE . BUT AFTER I GOT IT OUT OF MY CASE WORKERS HANDS AND PUT WITH ARE MANAGER THINGS STARTED TO MOVE.

TRUCK NOT READY . LOTS OF OIL IN THE EXHAUST .NOX SENSOR BAD, REPLACED ON FRIDAY AND NEW SENSOR TRIPPED A CODE.DEALER CONTACTED FCA AND TOLD THEM THAT A FORCED REGEN HAD BEEN DONE TO BURN THE OIL OUT . FCA TOLD THEM TO CLEAN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND MY DEALER ASK HOW AND WITH WHAT. FCA SAID WE WILL GET BACK YOU AS SOON AS WE FIGURE OUT HOW AND WHAT CLEANER. SOUNDS LIKE A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR ME. FCA COULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR WHAT THEY WILL HAVE TIED UP.

Picked up paper work on FCA motor replacement . No charges , FCA covered everything . Ask about warranty on motor ,3 years or 100,000 miles . That will take me to 211,000 miles. With that kind of warranty, looking at a banks derringer . I know that it does not take the EGR out of service . Any comments. FCA as of Tuesday out $16,000.00 plus $3,000.00 payment and will still need to change EGR when new ones are ready
Sounds like FCA stepped up and took care of you. Did they finally get your truck running right? The last we heard, you were having exhaust system issues.
If I were looking for a tune. I would probably look at the ones offered by HDSupply rather than the derringer. I would much prefer to turn off the EGR system than have a strictly performance tune. I would definitely keep my stock tuned ECU so I could change it out before it went to the dealership for warranty work or servicing. This would give the best of both worlds by keeping the warranty intact and giving your new engine the best chance for long term service by shutting off the EGR.
