Look up EcoDiesel Owners Canada (yes it's in Canada)New 2014 ecodiesel 1500. Plagued with def issues. what is the best delete?
Yes, the ED's have the same problem with the CP4 pumps that other trucks have, which is why replaced.New EcoD owner here. A local dealer had six new 2023 EcoD on the lot, Bighorn trims. All priced to sell. I couldn't resist. As of last week they still have 5 left.
Interestingly, there's a service sticker under the hood that says "fuel pump replaced Dec. 2023". I also found a folded up sticker in the passenger side pocket missed by the prep crew that said "vehicle not for sale". I'm guessing they had flagged the trucks until they replaced the pump.
Had 12 miles on it when I left the dealer. 260 on it now. I got 26.5 MPG driving home and it was still climbing (90% highway). Right now in my area of Texas, diesel is down to $2.75/gallon on the north side of Houston. (Costco). Most other stations are $2.90-$3.40/gal, depending on location.
I’ve been running the same oil/filter combo. Works great so there’s no need to overthink it and pay $100 for a MOPAR oil filter. Congrats on the new ride!The new filter threaded in firm and MUCH easier with the threads and o-ring lubed with oil. Used the STP S45027XL filter. Refilled with Castrol Edge Euro Car 5W/40. Let it sit for about 30 minutes while I moved over to change the oil in the wife's Forester. Yes, it was an oil change morning.
Just don't change the oil based on when it turns black, you'll might not make it around the block.... LOLI'll do a second at 4K mi. and then my standard 5K interval that I do for all my vehicles. That 10K mile OCI is just...nuts.
Both the EcoDiesel and the Cummins do not have an actual oil pressure sensor. The pressure reading on the dash is a calculation based on engine rpm. At least with the EcoDiesel the oil temperature is an actual sensor. Both engines do have a low oil pressure switch which just proves there is some oil pressure, about 10 psi.No filter leakage and pressure was about 35 PSI which I've been observing previously as normal for "cold" idle in these 95F temperatures.
Read crash68 post aboveI have been driving a 2020 ecodiesel this weekend that we are looking at buying for my son. Very nice truck overall, a few small issues, but every used vehicle has something!! A question I have...I noticed it showing 80+ psi oil pressure on a cold start this morning...by cold, I mean it was 70 degrees, but the first start of the morning. Then, when it is warmed up, it idles at 19 or 20 psi and cruises around 30 psi...this seems low to me. What are your thoughts??
