I must admit, I have bought a few vehicles sight unseen. I ordered our 2020 Ram EcoDiesel in March of 2020 from a dealership in Utah. It arrived in Utah at the end of July. I had the dealer ship it to me at the beginning of August, but it was paid for before it left the lot in Utah. We...

Nor is that a Jeep problem. That is a dealer problem. The dealership is supposed to check these things during PDI (pre-delivery inspection).

For the most part, the emissions system isn't too complicated, however, it has the potential to nickel and dime you simply due to all the components. The DPF and SCR might last 300,000 miles, but the sensors, DEF pump, DEF injector, ECR, and ECR cooler might need to be changed out a few times...

Yeah, I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought an emissions compliant vehicle. I'll keep my modern diesels emissions compliant for as long as the law requires me too. I don't like it, but the law is the law.

The EcoDiesel also specifies a cooldown time.

I wouldn't be surprised if your dealer misdiagnosed the issue. A turbo failure on the EcoDiesel is extremely rare.

I've been told by the filter gurus that the Doc's filter is just as good as OEM. The Baldwin filter at Rock Auto is also just as good. The Baldwin is actually the same filter as Mopar or Docs, but I can't remember which one.

I buy a lot of my air, oil, and fuel filters from dieselfiltersonline.com. Sure enough, the fuel filters are currently out of stock. I usually keep at least a few fuel filters on hand, so I'm okay for now. I think I'll go ahead and buy the complete filter housing, though. Just the...

Thanks for verifying. It looks like I'll be waiting for Jeep to issue a recall/TSB. If not, then I might have to see if @1945gpw would like to help a brother, for a fee of course. 😎

Me, too. I hope to own one eventually. They are hard to find. I was actually in the process of buying the one pictured, but the dealer had just changed management and they would no longer let me buy the truck via internet/phone/mail. I had to come in person, which I didn't have time to do...

Is this the part number for the housing and filter? 2020-2023 Jeep Fuel Filter 68382328AB | MOPAR Parts On Sale That's not a bad price considering you get the filter housing, filter cap, and filter. I think it's a good idea to have an extra housing on hand, especially a replacement cap. At...

I think Jeep would sell the regular cab long bed like hot cakes. With a higher towing capacity and payload, it would be the perfect utilitarian mid-sized truck. I've been looking for a regular cab long bed Ram EcoDiesel. Those were very low production numbers. The used ones nearly sell for...

It would be neat if Jeep only made 400 regular cab long bed Gladiators each year. The low production number would be enticing to the enthusiast. However, production would be high enough for Jeep to justify going through the engineering and SAE J2807 certification. Over a course of 4 years...

I've been a Mopar guy ever since I was in college (1995 - 1999). Chrysler was changing America with the Dodge Cummins. Jeep was having huge success with the Wrangler TJ. In 1999, Jeep had just released the Grand Cherokee WJ (big game changer). Dodge Viper was making a name for itself. Also...

It means Amish Mike Forever. ;)

You can get the Mopar oil filters for as low as $54.95. [68507598AA]Mopar OEM oil filter. 2020+ Ram 1500/Jeep Wrangler JL with 3.0L Diesel (dieselfiltersonline.com) And if you shop around, you can buy Pennzoil Platinum on sale for as cheap as $5.00 per quart.

I agree with you 100%. Knowing when to replace them is the hard part. It seems that 60,000-mile maintenance intervals might be appropriate on some applications and 120,000-mile intervals might be more appropriate on other applications. I suppose NOx sensors will last longer under ideal...

It was evident that the DEF pump was the issue based off the code I pulled. I even explained to the service advisor that I was 95% sure it was the DEF pump. According to AllData, the only other explanation would have been a cracked DEF line. From there, I'm not sure why the tech replaced the...

Regardless of the vehicle we own, I think everyone should have a backup vehicle, even if it's a beater. Having some type of transportation is critical for most of us. I think there's some truth to this advice. I'm not a mechanic, so I've opted to put away money for repairs. With that said...

I paid $15,000 under MSRP on a new Gladiator EcoDiesel. That's hard to pass up. For that reason, I would be looking at new. If you do buy used, then I would consider an extended warranty. Even though mine was new, I increased the 3 year/36,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty to 7 years/100,000...
