nees help with purches on a 2017 eco diesel

[split29]

hey guys want your input. dealer near me has brand new 2017 eco diesels for huge discout they have the works for around 30k. im in the market for a truck and am considering one. what are your experinse with these engines are they the turds people make them out to be? one of my worries is the throttle lag is that fixable with a pettel commander or does it need to be tunes out. should I just go for a hemi

welcome to the group they are no problems if u get a good one but most r a piece of crap it will either burn or put a hole in the block a hemi is great if u own a gas station

Welcome! If you can get a good deal on a new one with a full warranty, go for it.

No matter how good of deal ,its risky, No longer make replacement Parts or engine, Italy is a LONG ways, No tuning, and you only have Factory Warranty.
The aftermarket is going to be NO help.

Great truck, great motor unless you are unlucky and get a lemon. If the price is right I would go for it.

no parts for a 2017. and I know something is going on with gde tune but there others out thwr right?

there r a few in canada

Split29, You will find despite the quagmire the 3.0 is in, many owners have blinders on, It has the highest failure rate that I have seen since the 80s, its manufactured overseas, its assembly is done in a rats nest of old outdated tooling. its current OP cannot get out of its way when cold, its over engineered and under developed.

If it was a limited 4x4 with ever option 30K is an OK price, Ask yourself this question why cannot the Dealer have moved it sooner.

I Paid 35,000 +++ for a 15 with 78k longhorn, vary nice truck. had no problems for 4 mouths, 6000 miles. Had the reprograming done. 2 week later, limp mode. It has been out of service all but 2 days since July 17th.

I bought a diesel for durability and longevity, ecodiesel is neither.

 

[carlhenry]

I paid 37.500 for a 2018 with 22 miles

sounds like id be better of with a hemi from what ive been reading in thw froum. looks like 90% of the problems.come.from the epa shit and the other 10 from bad engineering

 

[TC Diesel]

I would agree bad engineering on the EPA ***** 50% , the other 50% on VM Cento.

Hwy miles it seems to do well, DD use not so good.
