It is entirely possible to put a piston through the block of any gas engine built. It only requires the correct conditions to exist - like flooding a cylinder with coolant which cause a hydraulic lock, a bent/broken con rod and voila!
Sorry to burst your bubble but in 35 years of maintenance work in heavy duty diesel applications up to 4000 hp, I have personally seen no less than a dozen grenaded blocks with at least 1 and on 1 in particular, 3 pistons right through the block. Inertia and force from a disconnected rod allows...
I think if you check, Mojave and Overland High Altitude have different axles: Dana 210M on the front and Dana 220M on the rear. These are the wider axles.
Iāll add to the conversation with my experience having owned a Gen2 3.0 in a Ram 1500.
First off, the earlier engines were delivered with incorrect oil spec - 5W-30 - albeit the Eurospec oil. In July 2016 the oil spec got changed to 5W-40, and the recommendation is Rotella T6. My truck had the...
My Canada diesel JTHA is on order and I will buy the longest best warranty offered. Why? Because of re-sale value, even on trades. It will add significant $$ to the value, and generally move quickly. Meanwhile Iām well covered.
BTW, I plan on keeping it, hopefully the last vehicle I ever purchase.
Agree. ESS makes complete sense on a gasser, and no sense at all on a diesel - UNLESS - the turbo is allowed to run and is fed oil during the ESS downtime. I will always run my diesel with ESS disabled.
My 2016 Ram 3.0 behaved very well on the regen system. I could drive it on short runs around town for about 20 days and then get a pop-up telling me to drive at highway speed until full regen was complete. I could drive at 50 mph for 7 or 8 minutes, then reduce to 35 mpg for 5 minutes and regen...
Well, I ordered one of these yesterday, Snazzberry, diesel, and yes, the 20ās. I donāt plan to do any rock climbing, but I do enjoy trail rides, open country driving, and getting to remote lakes. These have the same Dana M210/M220 axle set-up as the Mojave. I will get to lift and tire mods when...
Hey, I am curious to know from purchasers of the diesel JT if it comes with a winter front from the factory.
My 2016 Ram Limited diesel did, and it was a very good front.
Thanks
At this point I throw them a āretail to retail; or wholesale to wholesale ā comment. It has got the sales guys overthinking a few times and I got some really pricing on the trade -in.
I have an issue with my 3.6 in the GC.
At cold start-ups only, it runs rough and seems to be a miss in the spark, but I donāt think it is actually a miss.
The condition is enough that I notice it through the seat - a lot of bumps/vibration. I checked the exhaust pipe and it is tight. I also...
