the 3.0L 6-Cylinder Turbo EcoDiesel is made by VM Motori
I see them in the rams but are there other car or trucks have them or in the other part of the world.
They must be putting these in something else. I am on the fence on getting it but I am a diesel guy at heart having a 7.3 for the last 20years. Just looking for some help or research as I plan on having this also 20 years also

Not trying to be a jack ass, but I am not sure what you're asking.

Are you trying to ask if other vehicles use the same 3.0L as the Gladiator?

Yes that is what I am looking for. I edited my post to read better.

It was my understanding that the EcoDiesel in Jeeps and RAMs is exlusive to those vehicles. But, from this article, it appears that it was (is?) used in Fiat and Chrysler vehicles in Europe under the name A630 DOHC.

Wikipedia lists this model as being used in a variety of Jeep Cherokees and the Chrysler 300.

HOWEVER, I will say, that the 3.0L in the Gladiator (and Wrangler) is third generation of this motor, and those referenced vehicles were neither the North American spec of this engine nor the 3rd generation, so...

I had a 2014 Grand Cherokee with the 3.0l in it before I bought my gladiator. I had over 200k on it. It’s definitely not a 7.3l international but spec wise I think it makes more hp and torque than an old stock 7.3l. It’s also got a lot more emissions equipment.
