    New to me ecodiesel questions...coolant color and poor MPG?

    Enjoy your truck. 118,000km on mine and I can't imagine ever going back to a gas truck. Keep up on the oil changes and do them yourself, don't pay ridiculous dealer prices to do a very simple oil change. Welcome to the ED club! Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    Drained Water/Fuel - Forgot to prime fuel pump

    I wouldn't worry too much. Are you sure you didn't just drain a bunch of fuel out? I can't see there being 16oz of water in there or you would have serious issues. Even if you prime the pump properly after a filter change it still cranks for a few extra seconds the first start after. I usually...

    New to me ecodiesel questions...coolant color and poor MPG?

    The coolant colour is normal, mine looks the same. The sweet smell from the exhaust is normal too. It's mostly there on cold starts and it goes away once warm. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    Rusted Oil Pan

    Yeah the Hemi is more work for sure. The ED seems much easier. I may buy a new one and coat it with Bedliner to protect it. Some seriously large chunks of rust were coming off it and I was getting nervous that I was going to puncture it Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    Rusted Oil Pan

    Mine was actually very bad on the front. I used a wire brush and applied POR15 to the entire pan. I will see how this holds up and if it stops the rust. If it doesn't I will replace the pan. On the ED it seems easy because it's just a lower pan that you have full access to. I can't believe how...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    Theres no way they can deny you warranty on the pump when it's under recall. I'd get ram cares involved immediately and find a new dealer. The truck is under recall. Doesn't matter if it's our of warranty/tuned or whatever. They have to replace it. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    Rusted Oil Pan

    My 2020 ecodiesel oil pan is rusting. Not that bad, but my next oil change in a week I'm going to do a full POR15 treatment on it. I think the factory paint is junk and chips easily. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    Docs Diesel Oil Filters

    Nice. I'm just waiting for mine to arrive. If everything looks fine I'll keep ordering from them. The price for a filter in Canada from a dealer is like $110, it's insane. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    Docs Diesel Oil Filters

    Anybody running these in their 3rd gen? I'm using their fuel filters which are rated to 3 micron and seem high quality. I just noticed they have oil filters now too...

    GDE tune review

    You would notice it on the initial warm up phase as it runs through the gears the first time. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    GDE tune review

    Tune feels damn near perfect now. It's amazing how much better it drives compared to stock. Zero hesitation or lag now which is amazing. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    GDE tune review

    The transmission tuning feels much better after this revision. I never had the low speed lurching that Wxman reported. I can say now this tune feels perfect. They said they made some revisions to the tow/haul mode programming as well. Will report back after I tow with this new update. Very...

    Emailed GDE last night and they responded within an hour or so. Now that's customer service! Going to get the new file installed today. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    GDE tune review

    How long ago did that get released? Do you know how I would get the updated tune? Do I have to send my pcm in? Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    GDE tune review

    It makes a massive difference for sure, I was shocked how little brakes I had to use. The extra power is very noticeable with a load too. Getting up to speed was no problem. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

    GDE tune review

    Just towed 5,000lbs of gravel and the tune really shines here. The shift points are nice and the downshifting is agressive while braking and it really helps you slow. Can feel the engine braking working well. It's quite agressive so for a light trailer you probably don't even want or need to use...
