    EDT fuel additive - regular vs. performance dose ?

    I believe the performance dose is 2oz for 25 gallons. So for my 33 gallon, I usually end up putting 3 oz EDT and another 3oz or so of LX4. In south, they dont winterize diesel fuel - I had my truck not start for the first tome during last winters Freeze Temps/wave down south - never had that...

    FCA should cover the Fuel Filters for the life of these trucks. Its has been a couple of years since the recall - I still have not received my recall yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Largest tires for stock laramie

    I ended up doing: Duratracs 285/60/20 Factory (non-air) Suspension (offroad package) - No rubbing whatsoever. Truck still clears 7” height barriers for parking garage at work ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Largest tires for stock laramie

    I have Off-road package, Longhorn w/20" RIMs. Anyone used Goodyear Duratrac's? What is the biggest I can use without spacers, lifts etc. Factory: 275/55/R20 from reading/research, it appears 275/60/20 should fit-without issues. Looking to see if I can go 275/65/20 Duratrac's WITHOUT any...

    Oil Filter for Ecodiesel ?

    Probably would be better to go back to replace-able filters in the cartridge - less cost for consumers. The dealers can get away with cheap aftermarket crap, and DIY-customers are stuck finding and paying for OEM to keep the warranty. This is the classic example of “Screw the Americans”...

    How many miles on your Eco diesel?

    I saw it has LX4 - but after reading about the CP4 and checking with Hotshot people, they said more cant be harmful - I mix 3oz EDT and about 3oz lx4 for refills approx 26-28 gallons (33 gallon tank) Thats my preferred snake-oil formula :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many miles on your Eco diesel?

    2020: 58000 miles. EDT: 3oz every fill-up (I fill up around 1/8 to 1/4th tank) I also add LX4, 3 oz on top of EDT (this I have for the past 30K miles roughly, previously was EDT only since brand new first fill-up)

    Dealership forgot to torque drain plug after oil change - truck broke down on highway.

    Truck: 2020 Ecodiesel Mileage: 58500 (now) Background: Past 2 blackstone reports suspected higher than average wear on motor, so I bought Penzoil oil and Mopar original filter - dealer agreed to charge labor for oil change. I wanted to compare how my engine runs on Penzoil vs. dealership oil...

    Ecodiesel EGR System Service - expensive maintenance at Dealership

    Oil change prices

    That **CAN** be a risky move. I bought my prepaid oil changes 2 years ago - and have used them at my dealer without issues. Just did the 4th/last oil change. HOWEVER, if you read the fine print on the contract for Mopar Prepaid oil changes, it states .... "Plan cover upto $11x.xx dollar". At...

    2020 Ram 1500 ecodiesel with oil leak at passenger side timing cover

    I noticed oil around oil-filler cap/tube even though it was snug tight. Further saw a small area on engine cover - took to dealer and they “wiped it with a rag” - and advised to come back at next oil chabge - which I do at dealers every 7500 miles. No towing - easy highway miles. Really baby the...

    News on a tune?

    Brand new one is blank - needs dealer programing. Question is If you source an ECU from salvage yard - same Gen motor , can we send that ECU to GDE to program with new tune ? Instead of downtime of sending original truck ECU. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gen3 Coolant

    Curious to hear other thoughts. IMO coolants, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid etc - any reputable brand would do. Engine oil/ oil filter, fuel filter I stick to Mopar. Probably will do brakes/rotors stock when time comes. Air filters, brakes, rotors, tires - etc can be replaced with...

    First fuel fill up

    I can hear the clatter difference when I dont put in EDT and LX4 combo after my fuel fill-up. I have run them in my truck since new. I have done mixed driving but alot of highway. In my 15 months or so, I have put 30,000 worry free miles on my truck - so never really worried about Regens, even...
