G.M.'s in line 3.0 diesel video.
Have to say I would be hard pressed to buy any vehicle that the manufacturer stated the engine life was only 150,000 miles! I bet Mr. Truck never gets an invite to another G.M. press show again! LOL Wonder why GM went to Italy to have their 3.0 diesel engineered and not in Detroit? It is being built here in the states though. Enjoy ;) Here's another one. Maybe it's the Engineer that will never see another press show! Man what a way to end a career! Don2.7KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Ram 1500 Hemi or Ecodiesel?
No issues with my Ecodiesel and as far as fuel economy my Eco makes 30 MPG all day at 65 mph the best my brother can make in his Hemi is 22 at 55 mph! Mine is a 2015 with 3.92 gears and his is a 2016 with 3.55 gears. I tow a 6800# boat at 70 mph without any issues whatsoever. BTW pay no attention to the blue troll, the so called scandal affected 2014 to 2016 Ecodiesels not the 2017 and 2018 trucks. I like mine so much I might get a 2021 best in class towing, torque and fuel mileage for the 2020 Ecodiesel coming out in the fourth quarter of this year. Don575Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ram CP3 swap
So one manufacture tells their customers to pound sand and makes them pay for a new engine and fuel system due to their defective pump and one manufacturer stands with their customer and replaces everything (talking Ford and GM). And all you can do is bring up some B.S. about Ram/Cummins in hopes of deflecting the focus off of your precious Blue Oval? Give it a rest dude and stand up like a man and admit Ford puts profits way before their customers. As for the CP4.2 pump it is as sold as the CP3 pump of yesteryear! But some of you and keep believing what you want. Don548Views0likes0CommentsRe: Which shocks?
Monroe, most come with a lifetime warranty and they actually gave me two free sets (all four) at 100,000 and 150,000 miles on my 2004 Ram 2500! All I did was buy the new sets, return the old shocks in the boxes and they sent me a check. Found out later I could have gotten labor out of them also! Will try it when I replace the rears on my 2015. Had a rear shock let go under warranty but decided not to go with the OE shocks and just changed them myself.

All one needs to do is Google here let me help a brother out and you will see for yourself. Like ZF said after 8 there just is not enough return in efficiency to make it worth the effort. Ford is using a in house 8 speed for their front wheel drive cars Ford Authority wrote: But Ford has yet to use the nine-speed automatic transmission, despite having just revealed freshened-up versions of the Edge and Transit Connect. The reason? According to a recent article published by Automotive News, Ford didn’t see enough extra efficiency from the new transmission’s ninth gear to justify the extra cost and weight. Ford has instead come up with a pair of eight-speed automatics to serve in the GM transmission’s place. There is a class action against GM over their 8 speed? I thought they were going to use the Ford ten speed? So let me get this straight, Ford and GM decided to team up to defer the RD costs of coming up with their own transmissions. With Ford taking on the 10 speed and GM doing the 9 speed. Now after the dust clears GM is running it's own 8 speed in their RWD vehicles (trucks and big SUV's just like FCA) over the ten speed of Ford? Ford decides they are going to build their own 8 speed for use in the FWD cars because like ZF they understand their is no justification for a 9 speed. Note should read 10 speed not 9. WTH so tell me again why Ford and G.M. supposably teamed up? You just can't make this sh*t up. Bottom line it looks like even numbered gears is the way to go. I did test drive a new Jeep Cherokee with the 9 speed and didn't have any issues with the transmission in it. But it was a 2019 so maybe FCA has figured the trans tune out in the 9 speed now.

I'm waiting as the 6.4 8 spd and a 4.10 from FCA is tempting. But they have let me down on the AEM for the eco diesel. I think FCA is in turmoil, lots of issues at the executive level. What is the issue with the AEM? Had my truck tuned four days later drove up to GDE and had their tune reinstalled, should get my check in 6 to 8 weeks after the dealer gets everything sent in. I love me some free money. Don472Views0likes0Comments
