I’ve got family in Queens, the pot holes ain’t no joke. Even on 35’s I worry about breaking a bead 😂

honestly I'm not sure. I haven't heard much about noisy generators on the ETorque trucks. If it's an MGU or water pump bearing then yes. however it could completely fail soon, or it could fail in years. I'd get it checked out first, see what the shop says, and go from there. Maybe other members...

Absolutely, I think the dealer should check it out if it winds up being covered under warranty, though I hope they don't try to stick you with a fee for diagnostics. I suppose worst case you pay them for diagnosing the issue and maybe they reimburse you if it is found to be an MGU (warranty)...

I want to preface this by saying I DO NOT have any experience with ETorque, however that to me sounds like a noisy bearing on something in that belt drive. Whether it's an idler pulley, A/C clutch, or the MGU. I would consider pulling the belt off (with the truck off obviously) and spinning some...

I agree Spyder, I believe that even with 50k miles this engine is still getting settled and flushing excess materials from manufacturing and just plain normal wear/running in. Don't mean to spark controversy about oil brands. I'm happy with this report though and I'm glad that my viscosity...

Well guys, got another Blackstone analysis back yesterday. Changed oil brands and noticed some improvement to wear materials, though it’s too early to attribute it to the oil in my opinion. I’ll let y’all read it and see what you think. This interval was from 45k-50k miles. Mixed driving in the...

You had two motors with Timing Cover issues right? One Gladiator, and one Ram? keeping my fingers crossed that mine doesn't start dripping!

'21 EcoDiesel here, at 47,000 miles had the truck throw and injector error code. P026C, fuel injection quantity lower than expected (partially clogged injector.) After a little runaround from the dealer I used a store bought Injector additive and ran it through, problem solved. Other than that...

Bottle says 8 ounces for 20 gallons of Diesel. I measured out 16 Ounces for 33 Gallons of fuel. So maybe a slightly hotter mix then what the bottle says, but not overly so.

Very late to respond to you Chris3058, but I did exactly this a few weeks ago upon your recommendation. Ran a hot dose of that on a full tank of clean fresh fuel. drove the truck 300 miles at speeds of 55-70 MPH while locking the truck to 7th gear. Rpms were around 1,800-2,100 most of the drive...

They said I could apply for a reimbursement after the service, if the issue wasn’t resolved or if the fuel system blew up within the warranty period.

FCA (over the phone) states that this injector cleaning service falls under “preventative maintenance” and is not a “repair of a mechanical failure.” Thus not covered under powertrain warranty. Injectors clogging at 46k miles in my eyes is a flat out mechanical failure. All I’m thinking of is...

So, the truck took its second trip to the dealer today for my P026C issue. Service tells me the truck needs the fuel injectors cleaned to the tune of $580.00 plus tax. According to the dealer there is buildup inside my injectors causing this issue. This WILL NOT be covered under my factory...

Sounds a bit early for a battery to be dead, but I’d get it load tested, it could be low. Most chain auto parts stores will test it for free. Low batteries can cause havoc with all the computers and electronic sensors on modern vehicles.

I assume it’s buried under a bunch of stuff right?

So, some time has passed and my CEL hasn't returned after another trip to the dealer last thursday. Light has been off for more than a week now and the truck is running fine. Curious if maybe I just got some bad fuel at the same time this issue came up, or if bad fuel caused the issue.

I've been very happy with the Falken AT3W's E rated. I went with 285/65R20's and definitely felt a little hit to MPG but not huge, mind you I have the Ecodiesel and 3.92 gearing and factory 1 inch ride height increase. Power feels fine spinning the larger and heavier tires. I have 35k miles on...

So mine (P026C) is coming and going, seems to be 1-2 days off, 1-2 days on. The dealer service manager updated me saying that this appears to be just a software issue. I'm not completely sold on it, but my first instinct was also to pop in a new fuel filter. I have contacted RamCares and they...

So truck had a visit to the dealer yesterday. Service manager said they updated the PCM and the issue should be gone permanently. Well the check engine light came on 18 hours later. Truck seems to be running a little down on power but only in certain situations. Turbo lag seems a bit more...
