    Hello everyone Finally, it was my turn to have the catastrophic failure happening. Driving on highway, suddenly my truck loses power and starts a rattling noise, dashboard shows oil temperature in 115°C, and 0 oil pressure. As soon as I stopped the truck, could smell the oil. Underneath the...

    So my blackstone report shows 2.5% fuel dilution. I also noticed that the oil level was VERY high on the dipstick after 5k miles. My local dealer sucks and doesn't see a code so as far as they are concerned there isn't an issue. I even left them a copy of the report. How do I get...

    2016 ecodiesel with all available updates from the dealer. Just past 101,000 miles and has been running like a top for quite sometime. On my drive to work this morning (highway the whole way) I heard a loud clunk/bang. Loud enough that I thought I had hit something on the road. I looked in my...

    Hello All. I have a 2018 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel with 59,860 miles on the odometer. On 06.21 I started the truck to go to work and it ran for about 30 seconds before making a pretty horrible metallic crunching noise and then it wouldn't run anymore. I had it towed to the nearest dealership and 18...

    Hello, I am looking for a new engine for my 2015 JGC Ecodiesel. There are tons of engine part numbers out there. Anyone know the differences? 5158050AI vs 5158052AE I can get the first one without a core charge, and the second one has one. Is it because the '52' has the upgraded EGR, etc...

    Hope this isn't a repost. Long story short, at 5.1 years and 95K, I got a low oil pressure warning and lost power. Towed to dealer, they diagnosed that the Turbo isn't spinning up. Turbo is covered under the EcoDiesel settlement to 120k, but they basically won't replace it under warranty...

    Long story short, 1.5 months out of an extended Mopar and factory warranty, the "low oil pressure" light came on and my Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel lost all power. Towed to dealer, $1200 later in diagnostics, they say the Turbo isn't spinning up. During diagnosis, they found "shavings" in the oil...

    I bought a 2014 Laramie ED about 6 months ago with 189,000 miles. This is my first diesel and honestly hadn’t ever heard of the Ecodiesel until I found this truck. I’ve always worked on my own vehicles but since I’ve never had a diesel I’m still catching up on learning about diesels. With that...

    I posted to this forum a little over a year ago when I experienced a complete engine failure. In Nov 2017 the HP fuel pump failed sending metal filings through the fuel system and eventually seizing the #2 cylinder. The tech pulled a sample of fuel from the tank, put it into a plastic water...

    My Ecodiesel engine blew on 12-27-15 at 31000 miles. Chrysler care case manager seems totally inept. Any other ideas would b greatly appreciated. We moved to Texas from Virginia the day after the engine blew so unfortunately I cant make trips to the dealer to talk in person. Thanks, Elliott
