I just want to point out I this was a bad explanation of CCV function. The purpose of CCV is to collect unwanted combustion gasses that leak past the piston rings into the crankcase (including the oil pan, the valve covers and front and rear gear cases) This is NOT harmful to a modern diesel engine and no modification is needed. Mild buildup of grease will happen in the intercooler (not an issue) and soot buildup in the intake is unavoidable due to EGR. Messing with the CCV is a waste of time and money. Secondly, For someone wanting to ad power to an ecodiesel ram or jeep, the legal way is to look for an emmisions friendly tuner, or the way most will go is to remove the DPF, SCR, and EGR. (I would if I had one. Lastly, in America and Canada the oil certification for diesels with DPF's is CJ4 or higher, rated by the API (American petroleum institute) and The viscosity rating varies. (Probably using a 5w40 full synthetic with CJ4 any brand is fine) 75$ for an oil filter is robbery.
I love the new Ram diesel, except to pay for the option in fuel mileage/def fluid/serivce savings over gas, you need to drive it for like 15 years. So really, unless it becomes more affordable, or price of diesel drops the same as gasoline the only benefit is towing which the hemi can do quite capably. If ecodiesel was a $1000-1500 option, it would be a no-brainer.
Oil filters can be purchased for about $30 US now. I use Kendall Gt-1 synthetic Euro (case of 12) that I buy from Amazon for about $80 shipped. So about $110 for parts... pretty reasonable for a diesel engine.
Great video! Nice to have an honest, real world review of the truck, by someone who actually knows something about it and can articulate it. Dodge is moving forward and making the trucks that we want, but they just have too many small annoying issues for me to buy one yet. Hopefully they can improve their build quality over the next few years.
Well I'm going to have to tell my dealer that you should check around and find out there are some flaws on the seat do you know if there is ever a recall? Or any information pertaining to the Seat cushion failure
I expected this. A bunch of first time diesel buyers who don't know anything with "complaints". Funny how the long term reports on these in the magazines haven't had an issue. And they love to bash Chrysler products. My neighbor has 2014 Ecodiesel, his daily driver and tows his 1/4mi car during the season. 19,xxx miles already and not a single issue. It's a non story. I just left a CJDR dealer as a parts guy, they haven't had any blow by issues on these.
I would suggest that you will give Chrysler a reason to op-out of any engine warranty if you use Rotella T6. I spoke with the engineers at Shell and they indicated that Rotella T6 is not a replace for ACEA -C3 or the Spec fro Chrysler MS-11106 but that Pennzoil has an oil that is a replacement it is named Pennzoil PlatinumEuro-L.
In the US, putting both the catch and the fuel sensor/ tuning on it voids your warranty. Just wait for warranty to fall off and then enjoy banks 800HP kits for this motor. Banks calls this motor a BEAST!!!
good vid - how many liter tank is in it? you mentioned 1000 kms per tank, but on how many liters is that? Im thinking about taking one out this week for a test drive.
Hey pal, like your video - it's different and seems genuine -here's my experience: my BMW 2017 X5 Diesel costs $250 CAD for oil change and so does my 2018 Ecodiesel Outdoorsman (BMW covers the first 3 but RAM doesn't) but cost is pretty much standard with diesel engines - Your DEF consumption at the end is close to normal but it varies not only with breakin but also with your driving habits and how hard you run it (both my BMW diesel and Dodge act the same) - PCV and Catch can points you mentioned though could be secondary to something else - either mine doesn't have it (yet) or you are an unlucky one or you played around too much ... Overall though this engine is worth the money I'd say especially if you're hauling - I opted for the 3.92 ratio and 44-45 box that's in Outdoorsman trim, so that the engine isn't stressed as much when I tow or put load on it - I know Limited and Big Horn's usually come with 3.55 and always with 44-44 box that could stress your engine more under high load....
I like diesel engine, love the Ram with the Cummins engine,but people need to know is more expansive diesel than gasoline when you go to your mechanic.
First thing I don't run 25,000 miles on an oil change maybe 15 , kms or when the change oil display comes on and secondly I do get 10.7L/ 100 that varies may go 11.5 but that's it range up to you if want to believe it.
You can get your oil changed in the states for $90 if you buy multiple changes at certain dealers. Don't complain about blow by and oil changes if you are going to modify.
I've heard tons of transmission issues with the Jeep GC that his this drivetrain. But when I search for the ram I find nothing. Any major issues or is just poor build quality?
Drill a 1/16th hole at the lowest point of the intercooler. All the glunk will drain out and will not collect keeping it dry. Cheap and easy fix. No loss od boost and 1/16th drill bit hole woudnt suck and dust as well.
A premium sticker price, routine maintenance costs twice that of gasoline and fuel about $0.30 cents more a gallon in the USA. Not worth it. Nice try Dodge, but you guys missed again.
Hi there - thinking of buying an Ecodiesel, made me think a little bit harder... debating between a diesel ST and an Express ST with the 3.6L V6... what Mann Provent did you use - 100 or 200? Where did you get it? Thanks for the help! Have a good one :)
The Tundra is an excellent truck however the Cummins option is not available in our area. It appears the Chevrolet Colorado will be North America's next option in 2015.
I've only ever had clicking noises on pavement and that's due to the differential. You should try it on a gravel road or snow covered road. I bet you any money, there won't be any clicking noises as that is what it's designed for. Read the owners manual, it is stated clearly
I would find another dealer We have three in London Ontario and I damn tell you the one was helpful and another one not helpful. They just want to sell you more than you need. Seal cushion is an issue and dealer should replace without question
And this is why Diesels are not cost effective, between oil changes and other maintenance. I got rid of my 05 dodge, great truck but gas is way to go. The savings would take ten years to break even. My buddy just bought one of these, I hope it lasts. Beautiful truck btw.
The newer diesels just aren't worth it. MX costs are through the roof, DEF and EGR are ruining the longevity. Why would someone by a Chrysler product anyways?
No other 1/2 ton has such an efficient diesel. Here in Canada diesel is about 15% cheaper than gas and if drive 20000kms plus a year diesel makes a lot of sense. I'm thinking of getting one myself, sure a Tundra holds value better but you are spending 17000$ every 100k kms while you spend about 8000$ every 100k on a Ram Ecodiesel. Plus its a lot cheaper with them offering 10grand discounts these days.
Don't decide to buy a truck until you go and drive any of the diesels. Diesel engines are 40% more fuel efficient, huge torque compared to gas, they heat less since more of the fuel is transformed into power rather than heat, more efficient more durable when it comes to towing, who tells you otherwise hasn't had a modern diesel. Big trucks are diesels and will never be gas again. A nissan titan 5.0 Diesel is another option if you feel the ram 3.0Diesel is underpowerd for your intents.
Why are you talking about kms and the consumption was in l/100 km when you are in the USA? I'm happy about it because I live in the EU, but I'm asking myself why? :) Great car, great color!
Yeah I put 60 or 70 thousand on my 2011 FX4 with a plow on it during the winter. And I havn't had any problems with it. Im fairly easy on it even when the plow is on. Love the F-150.
I have to say, I’ve been thinking about an eco diesel, but after hearing all this bs, I feel a great Hemi engine sound better all the time! If you really need to save gas get a very good Pentastar if your not towing more than 3k or so. But if you need to tow get a Hemi! Or a Chevy! With the Max Tow Package 5.3, 4x4AWD, that comes with 3:73 gearing. Oh wait a minute! The hill assist mode only helps keeping you from rolling back in a hill for s few seconds as you take your foot off the brakes to hit the fuel pedal!
The noise could be something else. I have a 2006 2wd vortec max Silverado and makes a click noise when turning right. But only happens once in a while. Of course I'm not saying they are no way the same trucks. Obviously they're not but just saying. Noises can always be from a number of things.
Oops. I meant "Hill Start Assist" is not hill descent control. Hill start assist prevents the truck from rolling back down a slope (like a boat ramp) in the brief moment when your foot is moving from brake pedal to gas pedal.
Do you homework people and stay away from the ecodiesel. They don't take the little added cost to key the cam gears, but instead just tighten them down with a bolt that will eventually allow the valve gear to slip and thus the motor blows.
I have 36,000 km on mine -- only complaint is the drivers seat cushion is sagging my butt is getting sore. Dealer knows nothing about this issue - anyone heard anything? I buy Euro oil for about 10$ a litre filter for 55$ in Ontario. satisfied so far other wise. will post more videos soon
Currently from the dealer. There are no aftermarket filters available. You cab find a better price on the net but make sure you consider the shipping costs before jumping on the order.
Yes there are a few people on the forum sites complaining that the seat bottom material is loosing its elasticity and becoming stretched over time. That's not normal. My seat is ok for the time being. Bring it in and ask the dealers to take a walk around cars in there lot with the same seat and see if its the same as yours.
i have the exact same problem in my 2014 ram sport. the seats are garbage, I took it to the dealer 6 times because of the seat and they never resolved the problem. I now have swapped my seats for the sport half and half cloth/leather which is much better but now I lost my cooled seats.. overall not happy
LOL listened to first 5 min of this video and i got 2 questions. 1: Does this guy knows WTF he is talking about???? and 2: Why the hell are you using you're 4x4 in city paved roads???? You are ripping you're transfer case apart. you should only use 4x4 option to gain traction in slippery conditions like gravel mud and snow!!!! I got 16,000 kilometres on my ecodiesel as well got 0 issues so far. only reason i would install catch can on my truck to prevent build up of oil in inter-cooler rest im not worried about diesel is virtually an oil burner i don't see an issue with having more oil going in to intake it will burn. Also where u getting sand from inside a sealed system???????????
HI I HAVE 2015 RAM 1500 ECO BOST PROBLEM AT 400 MILES FUMES SMALL TOOK IT BACK TO RYDELL THEY SAID THEY FIX IT STILL SOME NOWW HAVE CK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALSO THE SEATS ARE SOCKING DOWN LOVE MY TRUCK LOOK LIKE WILL BE LEMON SOON
Ecodiesel not worth the extra money. My 2013 Ram 1500 Crew Sport 4WD Hemi is averaging 10.2L/100 and thats since new. Im using Amsoil Signature Series 5/20 oil and can go one year or 25,000kms on a change. Not knocking the new diesel but wow the price of an oil change!! Time will tell how they hold up.
Only way the Hemi makes 10L/100 is driving flat highway at 90km/hr No way can you run 25,000 miles on an oil change, especially on a gasser, the combustion gasses make the oil too acidic, and will cause premature failure, plus I dont trust a company that Chrysler doesnt allow to make ATF4, that just tells me their processes are inferior.
My Ecodiesel has been nothing but an expensive headache. RAM has admitted it is defective but their buyback offer is a joke. Calling an attorney. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Course I wouldn't listen to what Zsebenyi says either. Called this truck a car. Like really? It looks like a truck, it is a truck, it's registered as a truck, even he dude doing the review calls it a truck, yet Zsebenyi dimbulb calls it a car
These motors have r born with blow by,of course u want to tell everyone your happy with it after u spent all that $ and the dealer gonna bullshit u til your warranty runs out,them the truth will come out u need s new motor, these diesels simply won't last
You just voided your warranty by running Shell Rotella T-6. It is not a DPF approved diesel motor oil for your vehicle. Over 1000 ppm SAPS (sulphated ash and phosporus) www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1537943
Your never going to get rid of that blow by. Check any benz 3.0L same exact issues, combine this with EGR emissions systems on these small diesels along with dime size intake ports, you will have switch over faults which will occur from vario flaps in the manifold hanging up on carbon build up (best part itll happen after warranty CHACHING). Its going to have oil cooler problems/leaks. Exhaust temp sensor failures will happen as there are more than likely 7 sensors. I like the idea but the technology isn't there for small displacement diesels with the current emissions on them vw, benz along with bmw have already proved this. Ram for your sake I hope Fiat worked the kinks outta that motor that was designed for GM by VM Motori. Its just simply too similar to the OM642 benz motor. God bless and good luck Dodge with VM Motori, as Nissan pulled a fast one on cummins should have never let that happen! All those Dodge fans that bought just for the cummins well the door has just been opened! That 5.0L that's going to be in that Nissan will be 5 times more reliable than this VM Motori for 1 simple fact it wont have small intake ports that clog up every 40K.
I know that I won't get rid of the oil in the pcv system completely but adding a catch can will greatly reduce the long term effect on my drivetrain. My family has a mb 3.0 diesel with 160,000km and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the truck. The problem you've heard of is from neglect of maintaining the truck.
AJ Spang I haven't hear of them I have delt with them as I work on them! I have the VMI's on the vehicles while a couple have been from neglect there is countless that have been properly maintained at a dealership and they still have issues. That's why Benz is extending the warranty on the Add blue systems in the sprinters along with the intakes and oil cooler leaks due to lawsuits! Is yours a OM642 E28 or E32? Good luck with the Ram hope it works out for them and you!
AJ Spang AJ you might look into an AirSep by Walker Engineering to reduce the amount of oil going back into the intake. They were originally developed for older diesels, especially two stroke Detroit Diesels, to separate the oil from the air coming out of the crankcase vent, returning the oil to the crankcase and the air out the blowby tube. Detroits were notorious for slobbering oil because of the two stroke design. I don't know whether it would effect your warranty but I sure think it would eliminate the oil going into your intake. My biggest worry would be the oil getting into the intercooler.
That's exactly what I am worried about. Thanks for the info. I'll be checking into that alternative. I definitely need something to capture and the oil and diesel passing through that line.
16 bucks for 1 liter of oil? What a bargain, 1 liter of oil for my 1,6 TDI Golf costs 32 Eur at dealership - that's 40 dollars mate (of course I don't buy it there...). Anyway, i really like your video, also like the truck but I prefer gasoline engines - V6 or Hemi. They're maybe less fuel efficient but absolutely more reliable and much more "issue proof".
Hi AJ, I'm in Slovakia but it's almost the same in the whole Western & Central Europe - car makers are making biggest profits on servicing, not on car sales. Btw. how's your RAM going?
Why do you always use the word "issues" instead of "problems"? An issue can be a positive or a negative item, but you always use it in a negative way. Just say "problem" and everyone will know it is a negative.
euro diesels will never be reliable in the new world because of the greater distances a vehicles travels on a daily basis and on trips. in europe everything is near by because of the small physical geographical areas.
Typical new North American product, don't buy it for at least the first few years, for the most part they should have most of the problems addressed. For the big difference in Canada on the price to a Hemi, diesel costing more per litre, and extra cost on the maintenance. Your wasting your money buying this truck, better off with the Cummins for towing needs and reliability. I have a 2013 Tacoma, I know the only complaint about the Toyota Tacoma is it is dated, doesn't have the frills and extras that Ram has, but I have no issues with 20, 000 kms on my 2013 Taco.
***** I was with understanding the engine is from Fiat, I'll do more research, but if that is the case it is from Mercedes. Sounds like Mercedes unloaded the diesel engines just to get rid of them?
LOL, PCV valve on most diesel trucks?? I hope no one takes this guy as a mechanic, and listens to what he says. EVERY vehicle has a PCV valve. My 05 v8 Hemi does, my 95 Dodge did.
Your right I am not a mechanic but I do know that all diesel diesel engines are not equipped with a PCV system. Saying that in the video would just be wrong since big rigs use a draft tube design and diesel engines before 2004 weren't required to have a PCV system. Check the history of the system and you'll see that there are many different set ups to the design and do not use a valve.
LOL, NO diesel engine has a PCV system, gas engines are different from diesel engines. Gas engines produce vacuum, diesel engines do not, therefore a pcv system does not work. It dosnt take a mechanic to know that. diesel engines have either a CCV or OCV system. closed crankcase ventilation or open crankcase ventilation.
I just want to point out I this was a bad explanation of CCV function. The purpose of CCV is to collect unwanted combustion gasses that leak past the piston rings into the crankcase (including the oil pan, the valve covers and front and rear gear cases) This is NOT harmful to a modern diesel engine and no modification is needed. Mild buildup of grease will happen in the intercooler (not an issue) and soot buildup in the intake is unavoidable due to EGR. Messing with the CCV is a waste of time and money.
Secondly, For someone wanting to ad power to an ecodiesel ram or jeep, the legal way is to look for an emmisions friendly tuner, or the way most will go is to remove the DPF, SCR, and EGR. (I would if I had one. Lastly, in America and Canada the oil certification for diesels with DPF's is CJ4 or higher, rated by the API (American petroleum institute) and The viscosity rating varies. (Probably using a 5w40 full synthetic with CJ4 any brand is fine)
75$ for an oil filter is robbery.
thanks for the review. I've got 18,000 km on a Hemi, and I love the simplicity of the Hemi. strongly considering the EcoD for its fuel economy alone.
I love the new Ram diesel, except to pay for the option in fuel mileage/def fluid/serivce savings over gas, you need to drive it for like 15 years. So really, unless it becomes more affordable, or price of diesel drops the same as gasoline the only benefit is towing which the hemi can do quite capably. If ecodiesel was a $1000-1500 option, it would be a no-brainer.
Oil filters can be purchased for about $30 US now. I use Kendall Gt-1 synthetic Euro (case of 12) that I buy from Amazon for about $80 shipped. So about $110 for parts... pretty reasonable for a diesel engine.

Well I'm going to have to tell my dealer that you should check around and find out there are some flaws on the seat do you know if there is ever a recall? Or any information pertaining to the Seat cushion failure

Did you not get free oil changes with your warranty?
I would suggest that you will give Chrysler a reason to op-out of any engine warranty if you use Rotella T6. I spoke with the engineers at Shell and they indicated that Rotella T6 is not a replace for ACEA -C3 or the Spec fro Chrysler MS-11106 but that Pennzoil has an oil that is a replacement it is named Pennzoil PlatinumEuro-L.
It's amazing how comfortable you are messing with your $65,000. You're lucky they covered your oil pan gasket and the CCV system.
In the US, putting both the catch and the fuel sensor/ tuning on it voids your warranty. Just wait for warranty to fall off and then enjoy banks 800HP kits for this motor. Banks calls this motor a BEAST!!!
The waist gate is set to factory specs so adding more fuel does not increase turbo spool as much as one would expect.
good vid - how many liter tank is in it? you mentioned 1000 kms per tank, but on how many liters is that? Im thinking about taking one out this week for a test drive.
Transport mode disables the air suspension for flatbed towing. Did you ever read the manual?
Cute bracelet!
Awesome review. Thank you
With all that you know now, Would you buy it again?
and thanks for the review.
oil filter is now about $30(U.S.) and you can now use Rotella T6 oil so oil changes are much cheaper.
I wonder if they fixed it on the 2016 ecodiesel
Hey pal, like your video - it's different and seems genuine -here's my experience: my BMW 2017 X5 Diesel costs $250 CAD for oil change and so does my 2018 Ecodiesel Outdoorsman (BMW covers the first 3 but RAM doesn't) but cost is pretty much standard with diesel engines - Your DEF consumption at the end is close to normal but it varies not only with breakin but also with your driving habits and how hard you run it (both my BMW diesel and Dodge act the same) - PCV and Catch can points you mentioned though could be secondary to something else - either mine doesn't have it (yet) or you are an unlucky one or you played around too much ...

xXBurntBaconXx nothing so far
How has it been so far this winter? Any issues with frozen DEF ?
Yup i am making a video for you guys! The def system is not very good.
Drill a 1/16th hole at the lowest point of the intercooler. All the glunk will drain out and will not collect keeping it dry. Cheap and easy fix. No loss od boost and 1/16th drill bit hole woudnt suck and dust as well.

Hi there - thinking of buying an Ecodiesel, made me think a little bit harder... debating between a diesel ST and an Express ST with the 3.6L V6...
what Mann Provent did you use - 100 or 200? Where did you get it? Thanks for the help! Have a good one :)
Hello, I haven't bought the provent yet. I will keep everyone posted when I do get it.
If u want a half ton diesel may I suggest the tundra 5.0 Cummins diesel,this diesel is tried and tru and runs school busses in the state's
The Tundra is an excellent truck however the Cummins option is not available in our area. It appears the Chevrolet Colorado will be North America's next option in 2015.
Check my eco diesel videoJust did cold start at -13c. Last week and not plugged
I've only ever had clicking noises on pavement and that's due to the differential. You should try it on a gravel road or snow covered road. I bet you any money, there won't be any clicking noises as that is what it's designed for. Read the owners manual, it is stated clearly
I have a classic cherokee ,very reliable
Use Wix filters, Rottella ,T6 5 w40 synthetic in the Dmax since day 1
I would find another dealer
We have three in London Ontario and I damn tell you the one was helpful and another one not helpful. They just want to sell you more than you need.
Seal cushion is an issue and dealer should replace without question
A diesel engine is not worth it in North America for daily riding, but only if you are using it for work purpose.
trade up to Titan XD or hd ram
but get a Cummins not a cheap imitation
or you will see blown engines with many issues causing them
And this ladies and Gentlemen is why you buy and ecoboost...
TheReapersRam Please excuse him, he's a Ford Guy.
Angel Garcia He's and ford guy*

MISSISSAUGA!!!!
Is it underpowered I'm buying my first truck in June and really want a diesel but don't want to pay for a 3500 Cummings
+David cordukes Yes, it is underpowered. Very slow and sluggish while towing and un loaded. Loses to every other 1/2 ton in towing tests.
+Thamac15 should i just get a gas half ton
+David cordukes That's what I would do
Don't decide to buy a truck until you go and drive any of the diesels.

Why are you talking about kms and the consumption was in l/100 km when you are in the USA? I'm happy about it because I live in the EU, but I'm asking myself why? :) Great car, great color!
I am talking in kms because I am in Canada not in USA.
Wow, and in Canada you have metrical units? That's a new info for me. Thanks a lot also for this! :)
Bvbb ñ. Bbnnn. Bnnñ bbbbbjñjb
I wouldn't complain about the tail gate lol, already has "lift assist" so it feel like 5 lbs.
I put 80,000km on my 12 fx4 5.0L not one issue and I'm not easy on it.
Yeah I put 60 or 70 thousand on my 2011 FX4 with a plow on it during the winter. And I havn't had any problems with it. Im fairly easy on it even when the plow is on. Love the F-150.
check idparts.com they have the provent 200 for about 150-ish and they ship in canada also.
I have to say, I’ve been thinking about an eco diesel, but after hearing all this bs, I feel a great Hemi engine sound better all the time!

Often clicking noises while turning can be one of the CVT driveshafts having issues.
Hill park assist is NOT hill descent control.
Oops. I meant "Hill Start Assist" is not hill descent control. Hill start assist prevents the truck from rolling back down a slope (like a boat ramp) in the brief moment when your foot is moving from brake pedal to gas pedal.
Do you homework people and stay away from the ecodiesel. They don't
take the little added cost to key the cam gears, but instead just
tighten them down with a bolt that will eventually allow the valve gear
to slip and thus the motor blows.
I have 36,000 km on mine -- only complaint is the drivers seat cushion is sagging
my butt is getting sore. Dealer knows nothing about this issue - anyone heard anything?
I buy Euro oil for about 10$ a litre filter for 55$ in Ontario.
satisfied so far other wise. will post more videos soon
where are you buying your filters ?
Currently from the dealer. There are no aftermarket filters available. You cab find a better price on the net but make sure you consider the shipping costs before jumping on the order.
Yes there are a few people on the forum sites complaining that the seat bottom material is loosing its elasticity and becoming stretched over time. That's not normal.

i have the exact same problem in my 2014 ram sport. the seats are garbage, I took it to the dealer 6 times because of the seat and they never resolved the problem. I now have swapped my seats for the sport half and half cloth/leather which is much better but now I lost my cooled seats.. overall not happy
Dealer. Only bought oil filters so far. C55$
LOL listened to first 5 min of this video and i got 2 questions. 1: Does this guy knows WTF he is talking about???? and 2: Why the hell are you using you're 4x4 in city paved roads???? You are ripping you're transfer case apart. you should only use 4x4 option to gain traction in slippery conditions like gravel mud and snow!!!! I got 16,000 kilometres on my ecodiesel as well got 0 issues so far. only reason i would install catch can on my truck to prevent build up of oil in inter-cooler rest im not worried about diesel is virtually an oil burner i don't see an issue with having more oil going in to intake it will burn. Also where u getting sand from inside a sealed system???????????
HI I HAVE 2015 RAM 1500 ECO BOST PROBLEM AT 400 MILES FUMES SMALL TOOK IT BACK TO RYDELL THEY SAID THEY FIX IT STILL SOME NOWW HAVE CK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALSO THE SEATS ARE SOCKING DOWN LOVE MY TRUCK LOOK LIKE WILL BE LEMON SOON
jajaja no i use to love toyota they burn to much gas
lol i put rotella T6 too in my 2005 jeep liberty crd
Fiddle fiddle fiddle ... That engine is fine ...
Ecodiesel not worth the extra money. My 2013 Ram 1500 Crew Sport 4WD Hemi is averaging 10.2L/100 and thats since new. Im using Amsoil Signature Series 5/20 oil and can go one year or 25,000kms on a change. Not knocking the new diesel but wow the price of an oil change!! Time will tell how they hold up.
Only way the Hemi makes 10L/100 is driving flat highway at 90km/hr
No way can you run 25,000 miles on an oil change, especially on a gasser, the combustion gasses make the oil too acidic, and will cause premature failure, plus I dont trust a company that Chrysler doesnt allow to make ATF4, that just tells me their processes are inferior.
The best i ever got was 12.6
It varies can go to 11.2 bounces back and forth
You can always change the oil yourself and save some money.
Mine are free at dodge and it voids the warranty. my truck is just over 11000kms and it still has 27% oil life due for one soon lol
You should have done your research prior to complaining about the cost of oil changes. ALL diesel trucks cost alot of money for oil changes
The diesel RAM brought over here is from Italy, an engine another major Euro luxury brand passed on, so RAM scooped it up. Meh... no high hopes at all
try looking up jiffy lube. $150.00 here in the us and plus i work there to
Now that's much better. Thank you.
you are welcome
My Ecodiesel has been nothing but an expensive headache. RAM has admitted it is defective but their buyback offer is a joke. Calling an attorney. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You literally are clueless about half of what you said. This video is very misleading and you don't know what you're talking about.
For rich people
After watching this I dont think I want an Ecodiesel LOL
Course I wouldn't listen to what Zsebenyi says either. Called this truck a car. Like really? It looks like a truck, it is a truck, it's registered as a truck, even he dude doing the review calls it a truck, yet Zsebenyi dimbulb calls it a car
These motors have r born with blow by,of course u want to tell everyone your happy with it after u spent all that $ and the dealer gonna bullshit u til your warranty runs out,them the truth will come out u need s new motor, these diesels simply won't last
You just voided your warranty by running Shell Rotella T-6. It is not a DPF approved diesel motor oil for your vehicle. Over 1000 ppm SAPS (sulphated ash and phosporus) www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1537943
Your never going to get rid of that blow by. Check any benz 3.0L same exact issues, combine this with EGR emissions systems on these small diesels along with dime size intake ports, you will have switch over faults which will occur from vario flaps in the manifold hanging up on carbon build up (best part itll happen after warranty CHACHING). Its going to have oil cooler problems/leaks. Exhaust temp sensor failures will happen as there are more than likely 7 sensors. I like the idea but the technology isn't there for small displacement diesels with the current emissions on them vw, benz along with bmw have already proved this. Ram for your sake I hope Fiat worked the kinks outta that motor that was designed for GM by VM Motori. Its just simply too similar to the OM642 benz motor. God bless and good luck Dodge with VM Motori, as Nissan pulled a fast one on cummins should have never let that happen! All those Dodge fans that bought just for the cummins well the door has just been opened! That 5.0L that's going to be in that Nissan will be 5 times more reliable than this VM Motori for 1 simple fact it wont have small intake ports that clog up every 40K.
I know that I won't get rid of the oil in the pcv system completely but adding a catch can will greatly reduce the long term effect on my drivetrain. My family has a mb 3.0 diesel with 160,000km and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the truck. The problem you've heard of is from neglect of maintaining the truck.
AJ Spang
I haven't hear of them I have delt with them as I work on them! I have the VMI's on the vehicles while a couple have been from neglect there is countless that have been properly maintained at a dealership and they still have issues. That's why Benz is extending the warranty on the Add blue systems in the sprinters along with the intakes and oil cooler leaks due to lawsuits! Is yours a OM642 E28 or E32? Good luck with the Ram hope it works out for them and you!
AJ Spang
AJ you might look into an AirSep by Walker Engineering to reduce the amount of oil going back into the intake. They were originally developed for older diesels, especially two stroke Detroit Diesels, to separate the oil from the air coming out of the crankcase vent, returning the oil to the crankcase and the air out the blowby tube. Detroits were notorious for slobbering oil because of the two stroke design. I don't know whether it would effect your warranty but I sure think it would eliminate the oil going into your intake. My biggest worry would be the oil getting into the intercooler.
That's exactly what I am worried about. Thanks for the info. I'll be checking into that alternative. I definitely need something to capture and the oil and diesel passing through that line.
Bbg🎉😂😂❤❤❤😂😂
italians can't design good diesel motors and now chrysler/ram are destroying their reputation because of this specific diesel engines.
16 bucks for 1 liter of oil? What a bargain, 1 liter of oil for my 1,6 TDI Golf costs 32 Eur at dealership - that's 40 dollars mate (of course I don't buy it there...). Anyway, i really like your video, also like the truck but I prefer gasoline engines - V6 or Hemi. They're maybe less fuel efficient but absolutely more reliable and much more "issue proof".
Wow when you put it in that perspective we are getting a bargain. Thank you for the info. What country are you in?
Hi AJ, I'm in Slovakia but it's almost the same in the whole Western & Central Europe - car makers are making biggest profits on servicing, not on car sales. Btw. how's your RAM going?
It's great. No problems. Thank you for the information.
Why do you always use the word "issues" instead of "problems"? An issue can be a positive or a negative item, but you always use it in a negative way. Just say "problem" and everyone will know it is a negative.
euro diesels will never be reliable in the new world because of the greater distances a vehicles travels on a daily basis and on trips. in europe everything is near by because of the small physical geographical areas.
Typical new North American product, don't buy it for at least the first few years, for the most part they should have most of the problems addressed.
For the big difference in Canada on the price to a Hemi, diesel costing more per litre, and extra cost on the maintenance.
Your wasting your money buying this truck, better off with the Cummins for towing needs and reliability.
I have a 2013 Tacoma, I know the only complaint about the Toyota Tacoma is it is dated, doesn't have the frills and extras that Ram has, but I have no issues with 20, 000 kms on my 2013 Taco.
***** I was with understanding the engine is from Fiat, I'll do more research, but if that is the case it is from Mercedes. Sounds like Mercedes unloaded the diesel engines just to get rid of them?
***** However, over all it is a Chrysler product and they can be a hit and miss when it comes to quality.
LOL, PCV valve on most diesel trucks?? I hope no one takes this guy as a mechanic, and listens to what he says. EVERY vehicle has a PCV valve. My 05 v8 Hemi does, my 95 Dodge did.
Your right I am not a mechanic but I do know that all diesel diesel engines are not equipped with a PCV system. Saying that in the video would just be wrong since big rigs use a draft tube design and diesel engines before 2004 weren't required to have a PCV system. Check the history of the system and you'll see that there are many different set ups to the design and do not use a valve.
LOL, NO diesel engine has a PCV system, gas engines are different from diesel engines. Gas engines produce vacuum, diesel engines do not, therefore a pcv system does not work. It dosnt take a mechanic to know that. diesel engines have either a CCV or OCV system. closed crankcase ventilation or open crankcase ventilation.
Why people continue to buy Fiat/Chrysler products is beyond me.
I agree.
i've seen the junk Chrysler made in the past.
the Dart is the least reliable car right now.
