Greetings from South Georgia, owner of a 2016 eco diesel Ram 4x4, who was well pleased with the whole package until recently.

"Disappearing Coolant" at 41,500 miles, dealer handed me an estimate for $2800.00 for the EGR cooler replacement, not under warranty!!! Uggggh! Any thoughts? Marvin

welcome the recall is getting close I believe it is covered under that

once you get the recall done they have to replace it for free. Ask the Dealer to open a case with FCA and ask them to cover it.

It is covered in the Settlement, Its My understanding the AEM Settlement repair will be covered under service contract, its NOT an extension of the new vehicle warranty...
The coolant will disappear in various ways , 1st it leaks onto the exhaust manifold and evaporates, 2nd it leaks internally and that's a BIG problem BC the soot returned VIA exhaust will clog up everything Swirl/intake Valves, TV, Map, will mix with the oil VIA combustion chamber and if your using lube with High CAL it a recipe for wear and disasters.

Hang in there 333 it will be covered in the service contract when the AEM is finalized next Month.

Welcome! @Mlwest333

Hopefully you can get this covered under warranty.

Hopefully, we are working with the service manager diligently, also aware of the Class action lawsuit and recall on the emissions system. We will see and keep all advised. Marvin

Don't use the word recall, Because its NOT, and it will confuse and slow down the (Possible) covered repair.

If they say it's the egr leaking don't drive or "baby it" in hopes of making it to the settlement date. Mine is at the dealer needing an engine replacement. A qualified mechanic has to look at it to determine what caused the engine to lock up. If egr was the cause not sure what I'm gonna do. But if it's anything else it will be covered under warranty. My truck has 52k miles

I am in full agreement. If the EGR cooler leaks - either pay to replace it and file for reimbursement or pull it and put it in a box, asking for replacement under the new service contract. Not a good idea to burn coolant.
