I was going to ask that same question. I bought my truck in Dec of 2019 it has a build date of Nov 2019. It was one of the first revamped ecodiesel motors in my area.

I'll let the group know what FCA offers. Just curious, would you be okay with that resolution offer? 110 days at the dealership, 3 monthly loan payments, insurance, and just paid CA registration. Oh yea, I bought a new travel trailer that I couldn't tow.

I didn't dig too much into the leak before I took it in to the dealership. I noticed oil on my garage floor. That was enough for me to take it in for warranty. I agree. The same part keeps failing (upper timing cover). Thing is the effort it takes to get to the timing cover.... injectors...

You are telling me.......Like I mentioned I'm giving FCA a chance to make this right, so far I'm not impressed.... I'm just glad to have my truck back. Feels like I just purchased a brand new truck after driving a base model Jeep Cherokee for the last 3 months!!!

Sorry to hear. I've been meaning to post an update on my timing cover leak issue/saga. I am in a bit of a battle with FCA so I don't want to divulge too much right now. Short of the long is I just got my truck back this week, after 110 days at the dealership. It took 3 months to get a...

Week 9.... Still no solution. Apparently the dealership is waiting on an EGR tube with not estimated time. I decided to file a Lemon Law case with FCA due to not knowing when the part will arrive. I decided against putting a new motor in my truck. All the research I've done shows that the...

Week 7 update. Still no word on the backordered part the dealership needs to complete the repair. My case has been elevated to high priority and according to my FCA customer care rep they are now discussing the possibility of putting a brand new motor in my truck. This is pending review from...

The first dealer didn't want to give me a loaner so I called a different dealership that would. They gave me a 2020 1500 Tradesman. Far from my Rebel. Call ahead am make sure they have something for you.

Well, this will be the start of week 4 since I dropped my truck off. Few back and forth calls with the service department and my service writer said my truck won't be ready till sometime in October. He said they are having issues sourcing parts. I spoke to a different dealer and sounds like...

Heard back from the service department. They can't seem to find the leak but narrowed it down to the front of the motor and timing cover. They are going to add dye to the oil to see where the leak is coming from. While they have my truck I asked them to look over the A/C system. He found the...

Will do. My appointment is on the 21st. Were you able to get a loaner vehicle? My truck is my only vehicle at the moment. The dealer said they don't supply loaners but will see what they can do when I drop off my truck.

Thanks for the follow up @WXman. Lo an behold I found a few drops of oil under my truck last night. Crawled underneath and the front of the block is wet with oil, similar to your oil leak. I'm at 9,500 miles, lets see what the dealer finds.

I had an interesting observation over the weekend. I am another case of poor A/C performance and I'll typically close vents to areas of the cab that are not occupied. It was 100+ degree day I noticed the fan blower laboring a bit at speed 7. I decided to open all the vents and it was a night...

I had an oil pressure light come on yesterday. Drove home from work (about 30 miles) and pulled into the garage and the oil pressure light came on and the dash was reading 8-9 PSI at idle. I shut it down and checked the dipstick and everything was reading fine. I started it back up and the...
