I noticed smoke for under the hood. scrolled thru guages to see temps, all good. 1st time I thought maybe it was coming from someone elses vehicle at a stop light. This morning I run to the store at 5am see the smoke again when I get out.
Crawled under to see and found broken bracket and a hole in DPF filter. oh and a oil seep near the front engine cover

That's one way to delete it. Let us know what the dealer says, push for a loaner if they insist on keeping it. Nothing to worry about long as there's nothing getting cooked by it.

Hey that's cheating lol. Good on him for taking care of dad. You could also do some weight savings since you live in a free state.

He better take care of me, Im the lien holder of his jeep! lol Thank you, I do have a great kid. With this being the "new" 3rd gen diesel I have a warranty so delete is not an option yet. I did delete it on my MB 3.0

Today I stopped by to discuss this further at the dealership. They have the part in stock yet warned when taken apart, if the top tube is also broken the cab has to come off to replace that part. yikes.... postponed this til next week just in case

While the cabs off give your son some fluid film to spray things down with ;)

I just found the same bracket broken on mine however, just at weld and no exhaust leak. Noticed mine by hearing a new rattle. Will have it to dealer this week.

I wonder if this cracked weld or bracket was caused by the faulty front suspension on the diesel models. When mind would bottom out, it was violent sounding like a shotgun went off under the passenger floorboard.

I’m running the Mopar 2 inch with 1.5 Teraflex leveling kit. I have not had the bottoming out issue at all.

I had the TSB fix installed, which made things a little better. Then I installed the Teraflex diesel 1” blocks up front and now it behaves as it should. I no longer have the raw sharpness “if” it bottoms out, but I don’t have that feeling that a 1/2” grade increase will send the axle through my hood.

Mine broke in the exact same place. Noticed a strong exhaust smell first, then a small amount of smoke ever so often. Dealer had it fixed in a day under warranty.

It won’t apply to you since you had your suspension modded from the factory setup
albeit
the Mopar kit.
