  1. Any EcoD use a weight distribution hitch?

    I have a WDH with both of my campers, I was previously pulling our small camper ~3k lbs with my wife's Nissan Pathfinder which saw a huge improvement in squat from the WDH. Then when I started towing with my 2" lifted on 37's ecoD I didn't really need the WDH for squat so I was able to lower the...
  2. Diesel Died

    I think I'll be adding in LX4 to the EDT and do 1oz of each. I just ordered both EDT and LX4 from Amazon cheaper than I can find it at any of the big box local auto supply stores (Autozone, O'Reilly, Advance, etc) which are often out of stock on EDT and don't carry LX4 in the squeeze bottle.
  3. Diesel Died

    Looks like another cp4 failure without fuel additives to improve lubricity. I don't think I've seen anyone claim a cp4 failure while using a lubricity additive (like Hotshots EDT or the standalone LX4). I've personally been using EDT since seeing the chance for fuel pump failure (which for me...
  4. What does Diesel vs Gasoline cost per gallon for you locally?

    Did you see my first post in this thread? Diesel has not ALWAYS been more expensive than gasoline, and my diesel on 37" tires with stock gears still gets 22-24mpg ... show me a gas JT on 37's on STOCK gears that gets anywhere close to that and I'll show you a BS flag 😜 Oh and not to mention how...
  5. How often has your exhaust system done a Regen

    A bluetooth OBD2 scanner with an app on your phone is by far the cheapest and easiest. I've been running the VeePeak OBDCheck OBD II scanner ($40) since the day I picked up my JT in January 2021. I paired this with with the OBD Fusion app (iPhone) for $10. I used screens created by some...
  6. CP4 Fuel Pump EcoDiesel Recall

    I got the notification that my '21 eco is included in the new "FCA Recall # Z96" (NHTSA Recall #22V-767). I haven't seen Z96 referred to in this thread yet, only the older recall for the pre-gen3. I've been using HotShots EDT ever since seeing the posts here about fuel pumps blowing up...
  7. Vinegar Smell from AC

    I have been searching everywhere for answers on this myself... I've tried the Lysol into the AC intake at the bottom of the windshield but gained nothing. I feel like all this did was maybe soak the cabin air filter? But I didn't even smell a difference with linen smelling Lysol. @pbrevo64 can...
  8. How often has your exhaust system done a Regen

    I'm not familiar with how the iDash is programmed, but there are 2 different types of regen that you would need to pay attention to (although I'm sure you know this) DPF Regen status = 0 means no passive nor active regen DPF Regen status = 1 + DPF regen type = 0 means Passive regen DPF Regen...
  9. How often has your exhaust system done a Regen

    A Passive Regen is simply a combination of full operating temp (coolant ~200F + oil ~200+F) and the DPF temp typically in the 500+F range that is caused by higher sustained EGT's (such as driving highway speeds) I don't believe the ECU has to do anything particular for a Passive Regen to occur...
  10. How often has your exhaust system done a Regen

    Yes correct, same as what @Bananaman said ... without some sort of gauge it's going to be really hard to know when an Active Regen is coming or actually occurring. You won't ever "notice one" without access to the correct PID's from the OBD2 port, Jeep did not bother to include information...
  11. Do you use a cetane booster?

    I just started using HotShots EDT a few thousand miles ago just as a safety measure and the thought of being without a vehicle because the injectors failed. I didn't notice any increase in butt-horsepower or lower regens either, but I'm on the "better safe than sorry" side. I'm using 1 oz per...
  12. Anyone in AZ own an ecodiesel? Does it overheat in the summer?

    I've read through 33 posts and I didn't see you mention if you intend to install a lift and/or larger tires? This would certainly change the dynamic of being worried about derating. Although I don't live in Arizona, I do have 37" tires on a 2" Mopar lift and that certainly does make it harder...
  13. Average Miles Between Regen

    Passive regens occur most of the time the engine is fully warmed up and you're not in stop and go traffic once the DPF temperature hits a threshold. If you have a gauge connected to the OBDii you can see the Passive Regen happening frequently. A Passive Regen reduces the soot level in very...
  14. Average Miles Between Regen

    I have written about this extensively in other threads here (let me find some of them) ... I use the OBD Fusion app on my iPhone with a bluetooth OBDii scanner. The distance between regens is only for ACTIVE regens, Passive regens should happen almost every time the engine is fully warmed up...
  15. Fusion OBD App

    Hey Tom, I am using the OBD Fusion app and have posted many screenshots of what's going on. I was able to borrow a pre-built screen that a RAM forum member shared and it's what I use almost daily. If you haven't found out already, once soot gets to 80% it will then start an Active Regen...
  16. Canadian Y81 DEF recall

    Just got this notification today 3/11/2022 but can't find any details on the Y81. The link on mopar.com is coming back not found: https://www.chrysler.com/universal/webselfservice/pdf/Y81.pdf
  17. Diesel - Will i regret regearing to 4.88?

    I have pulled a 32' camper weighing in at 6,250 lbs dry with my ecoDiesel on 37's and stock 3.73:1 gears and it pulled like I expected it to ... most excellently! The kicker when not towing is it will still hit 8th gear at 59mph on flat roads and hums on the highway at 78mph in 8th gear with...
  18. Colorado or Front Range Gladiator owners

    I know it's not either dealer you asked about, but I purchased my diesel JT at Prestige CJDR in Longmont and they installed my 2" lift and 37" tires and Rockslide Engineering step sliders. I've had 3 diesel oil changes with them already without a hitch (all under Jeep Wave). They only allow...
  19. All Diesel Specific Talk/Topics

    The OBD Fusion app should simply be relaying information from the PCM, however this is an interesting situation that I've actually been wondering about. I recently set off on a road trip from CO to TX starting the trip at 74% Soot level. After a few hours of driving at 75mph the soot level...
  20. Battery tender

    Nope it's garage kept, just too many short trips that don't give the battery time to charge hence wanting to add the battery tender.
