And one final question, if the Ecodiesel was so superior to the 5.7 gas for towing, why does the manufacturer only have a 900lb difference in capacity between them? That is less than an 8% difference.
Hmm, about half the size diesel engine (3.0L) doing as much work as the larger gas engine (5.7L) with better mileage, I'd say that was superior in regards to the above question.
What part of “turbo” do you not understand…..
Actually the turbo is one of the few parts on the Eco that hasn’t been problematic…. Good thing since step one of the repair is “see cab removal procedure”.
Fuel system hasn’t changed on the new gen Eco…. High psi fuel pump can still eat itself sending metal throughout the system (as proven on a 21 with 3100 miles…. only took 3mos to repair)
I have yet to see a Hemi owner put DEF in their gas tank….
Plastic gear on the intake runner is another “great design”…..
I will also note our scorecard of 16 engine replacements has seemed to plateaued as we haven’t seen one eat itself in nearly a year.
Pull trans to access crank sensor…. Brilliant!
