    AC Manifold Gages Issue

    Purging air is a very simple process and must be done every time a vehicle is connected to a manifold set, just very briefly back off the hose connection at the gauge set, same with the yellow charge line. air can be harmful to the system as well as messing with pressures. During my years as an...

    gas mileage reduction when pulling trailer

    Leave the transmission in "TOW" mode while towing or hauling, it's not there for fuel mileage it's to keep the engine in the proper RPM/TORQUE band which will in turn prolong the life of your transmission. If the transmission gets to a point that it's "hunting" for the proper gear by upshifting...

    2021 Eco Diesel DEF Question

    I also have a refractometer & check my DEF occasionally, but I run a mixture of distilled water and DEF. I use SUPER TECH from walmart almost exclusively, but have had to use BLUE DEF recently because of availability. I had a duramax in the past and read all kinds of reports saying NOT to use...

    ram 2500 6.7 2018 ecu clone

    Removing DEF has nothing to do with DPF plugging, DEF is injected post DPF to reduce emissions. Search for a delete tuner for the 6.7 Cummins. You will need a delete kit for the EGR, DPF and a DPF back exhaust kit.

    2021 Eco Diesel DEF Question

    I'm leery about using bulk DEF. There are strict material requirements on piping, connections and nozzles/valves etc. If a repair has been done on the the bulk tank and associated piping it could have costly consequences. DEF is reactive with numerous metals including aluminum. I'll stick with jugs.

    Any advice on fighting a warranty company

    I also enter my maintenance record on the RAM DASHBOARD, problem is I still get email messages asking if it's been too long since my last oil change, and it's tracked in a spreadsheet on my computer, I guess I'll enter the VIN on it also, it's our only MOPAR product, so hopefully between the the...

    Synthetic Oil for a 2015 3.0 Diesel

    OP, you need to be sure that your oil is rated for diesel service, it needs to meet CK-4 diesel specs, it must also be full synthetic 5W-40. I try to stay with ROTELLA T6 5W-40, I used the last of my T6 last month, it's in short supply & nearly impossible to get right now, I substituted...

    SFT has been nothing but great with me, I had an issue early on & it was taken care of quickly.

    Deleting the 2017 Echo Diesel

    You wil probably have to do it yourself as it's illegal, if a legitimate shop does it & gets caught it could easily destry their business. You may find someone that will do it but it probably won't be a shop. Pros: ECM /TCM gets tuned, possible decrease in fuel consumption,no more regens or...

    Ecodiesel Dies on vacation.

    Warranty work is and always has been about 1/2 of what flat rate pays, very few things give a decent return on warranty work, a good tech may make out ok on warranty but would do better on the flat rate.
