    Who do you believe?

    But then there is the 3 weeks to get a new EGR cooler and the intake manifold that got burnt up when the EGR cooler failed. The service (factory trained) fails to replace the coolant lines that run underneath the intaje nanifold that melted so that's another $1000 labor and $7 worth of parts...

    Ecodiesel or Hemi

    I have 140,000 on a 2015 eco diesel. With all the warranty repairs and paid repairs to this truck I calculate a repair cost of near $400 per month on top of any loan payments. Dealer wanted to give me less than $12,000 trade for the truck last year. It's a Laremy crow cab. This truck is used to...

    If it is an ECO diesel it has single axle with single wheel drive because it has another recall and only needs to circle the service bay from out to in. IE goes in circles at dealer service.

    Blacklisted by Dealership

    Humm! The castle doctrine is part of the South Carolina legal bag. The doctrine is not applicable here because it deals with personal protection in your home, hotel or vehicle, i.e. your car is treated like your home. Perhaps it is reasonable to have a recording device with intent to protect...

    What a nightmare

    I got the new flash in my 2015 Ram 1500. First thing I noticed was city mpg went from 21+ to 16 and highway went from 27+ to 22. Then the TCM (P0299), which drops max boost to about 2 psi, problem started happening but no observed problem with coolant temp or fans. Clear the TCM error and then...
