If you have an EcoDiesel and you have the recall notice from last month make sure you get that done ASAP.
I would bet FCA goes with a new EGR cooler and software update, I doubt they change the intake unless they have to.FCA can't do anything to fix this right now. They are (hopefully) manufacturing replacement parts that will probably include a replacement intake (not plastic, hopefully) and possibly new EGR cooler.
My 2016 w/36,000 on it has been in the shop for 47 days so far.
Yeah but so does Total bypass of the system in the exhaust so if you’ve already done one of them Sure. Then it won't smog, and will prolly void the warranty. Won't it?
The 3/4 tons are absolutely more reliable. They’ve been tested and proven for years. However the emissions add ons still seem to be the downfall of any diesel truck sooner or later.Yep, got the notice recently! Got in the truck this morning starting a 350mi trip for work and noticed no hot air with heat all the way up. Checked my temps and coolant running 215+ and oil 220+ and the electric cooling fan making more noise than the engine. Limped to dealer (lucky it was on my way) and they said the EGR cooler has a pin hole. (Last month it was a pin hole in the Turbo!) They filled and bled the coolant system and sent me on my way. They have, under warranty, ordered an EGR cooler but 4+ days for delivery. Truck is a 2015 Laramie ECO Diesel. It is in the shop about every 2 months for something other than preventative maintenance. DEF tank and pump, Tubes, Particle filter, Turbo, EGR....... Is the Ram 2500 with cummins diesel more reliable? After the Flash I get 21-22 mpg on the interstate. What could I expect highway economy to be in a 2500 diesel?
Or, do I go to a 2500 GMC with an Allison Tranny?
The single axle 2500/3500 diesels get 15-20 MPG unloaded.Is the Ram 2500 with cummins diesel more reliable? After the Flash I get 21-22 mpg on the interstate. What could I expect highway economy to be in a 2500 diesel?
