Bro pull the intake... delete it while it's still good. (I'm a Mopar tech.) I've seen things.

My 2018 ED is bone stock and I also run T6. My oil at 100 miles is black as coal. He is definitely deleted and has a catch can.

I haven't had any trouble out of my 2015 Outdoorsman 4x4 crewcab ecodiesel other than a water pump. I bought it new and have 143000 miles on it. I only use Mopar filters and change the oil at the 10,000 interval. It does have a stage 1 tune and the oil looks good through oil changes. I know others have had issues but I absolutely love my ecodiesel

Thank you, I appreciate your continued content!

170,000 miles on mine, just did a glow plug swap out, thats it. Tuned since new. 10,000 mile UOA's always perfect.

Totally agree about clean oil. Thumbs UP !

Yeah you’re definitely deleted with that clean of oil in a diesel

Yeah, one of my trucks is a pre emissions Cat C7 and after 1 minute on new oil, the 6 gallons in it are black. This video after 10k is full on bullshit.

He is lying if he says the Egr is connected

I bought my '16 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel brand new. Hot Shos Secret goes in the fuel tank every fill up. I drive 98% highway miles, and my oil always gets dar, but never gritty. The truck has 177k miles, but hasn't been driven much since I bought my '20 Durango. The Durango fits in more parking spaces and multilevel garages. We also have an '18 Ram 2500 6.7L, which is a beast. It carries a camper and tows Jeep Wrangler rather nicely. But the Ecodiesel is way more civilized on snowy or icy roads. I tried several oils, but currently use the 5w40 T6 Rotella in the Ecodiesel and the Cummins. I did get the Bank's silencer delete, and installed a Flowmaster 50 series HD Big Block muffler. I use Tow/Haul mode when the engine is cold, but plan to try a Bank's Pedal Monster soon. The 3.92 ratio differential works really well with ZF 8-speed. I hope Ram puts the ZF transmission with the Cummins engine. Then the Ram 2500 will drive as nice as my Ram 1500, Dodge Durango, and Jeep Wrangler.

Thank you for giving us the update I'll take my guess that you had the EGR shut off for your oil to be that clean again really appreciate the update

For sure, after I installed a 2018 GDE hot tune I could not believe how clean the oil looked, with the stock tune the oil legit looked like black squid ink

Wow, that is unbelievable! Mine has 82000 miles, 2018 and I run Amsoil with Wix oil filter and fuel filter. The Wix fuel filter is finally made with the same reinforcement like the Mopar ones. My oil is dirty (black) in less than 1000 miles, almost immediately! I do have the Banks Derringer inline tuner but haven't used it in 6 months. I've been having fuel rail pressure issues and think the high pressure pump may be going out! Also, I've towed a fifth wheel several times this summer and I fight the oil temperature going too high, like 250 degrees F. I back off the throttle when the oil temp climbs as it will cause the coolant to climb as well. I wish they would do an air cooler for the oil instead of using the coolant. Also, my EGR is always sooted really bad and I clean it every 20,000 miles or so but the inside of the intake manifold looks like a coal fired locomotive!

The oil condition on ecodiesels at 10k miles is excellent. I had Blackstone test mine at 100k and the report said that overall condition was very good. I also use Shell Rotella 6 15w40. Currently 112k miles and runs great--tuned at 750 miles which made a night and day difference in throttle response, power increase, mileage increase--GDE (Green Diesel Engineering) tune which bypasses the EGR. Running your finger inside the tailpipe won't leave an iota of soot on your finger! Amazingly clean engine.

I had a VW 2L Amarok (dual-cab ute) here in Australia. Blew 3of the injectors out at 110k km. Got a replacement engine (rear end of vehicle got smashed after idiot pulled out in front of a B-double truck). After some teething issues (originally tried to use the original ECU, which turned out wasn’t entirely compatible with the newer engine) I was having issues with the DPF getting fault codes. Ended up doing a DPF/EGR delete. The engine ran sooo much quieter, with more torque, better fuel economy, and the oil looked like new at each change. I was towing a tipper trailer (1.1t) and a 2 ton excavator regularly, and it was soo much better (where I live we have quite steep and high mountains that I cross between my two farms) Ended up buying a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 6.5t 4x4 tipper truck with a 3.9l turbo diesel. It isn’t as comfortable a daily driver, but I now have a car for that.

That clean it is EGR deleted.

You did the whole video and didn't come close to explaining how you keep your oil "new" looking.

That’s hard to believe Jon. Holy moly. That’s really clean for a diesel. Impressive. So that truck tows way better than the hemi.? I have also been contemplating one of these trucks, but don’t like all the issues. I find towing with my hemi is not great. So I appreciate the updates and like to know the tricks.

My oil looks just like yours. I tend to change around 7k but its also super clean like when its put in. IYKYK. Love my eco, sad they discontinued them.

Bravo J《☆》👍🏾🥤Hopefully She keeps on keeping on✌🏼😎☯️

My 2015’s oil is finally staying clear 5000 km into the 3rd oil change since doing the stage 2 delete. Stage 1 was done 70000 km ago and the oil was always black right after the change. Maybe it’s finally cleaned itself of soot from the first 100k of stock driving.

Did you rip apart the old motor to see why it failed? I don't remember if you did or not. Another great video.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new hurricane engine….

I have a 2014 ecodiesel - 150k miles, change the oil every 10k, the only real issue i had with it, burned out fuel pump - now they have a recall on it, and the water coolant valve broke and leaked coolant on my abs system taking it out (this was at year 9 so just about when rubber parts start to fail) - no engine tune. It has a been a dependable truck for me.

My oil is always purple as I only use Royal Purple. I change it once a year, 10k miles. Only 77k miles on our 2017 Ecodiesel. I did take the resonator out of the intake pipe.

You haven't posted anything on the hellkota for over 6 months. I wonder the thicker oil is what is saving those rod bearings.

2019 Ram Classic EcoDiesel, Glacier White 3.92 rear end stage 2 delete, swirl valves turned off, Titan 39 gallon fuel tank upgrade. Always 5w40 Rotella T6, change it every 10000km

there are 5 eco diesels on my street including mine. 2015 to 2019. My 2018 at 190,000 kilometers ( on Amsoil) has never had clear oil. I have the Banks modules on it with emissions compliance. 1 neighbor truck is a 2116 deleted and tuned ... black oil. We are in Canada with winter. I'm just saying.

Wow i didnt think you would have put that many miles on already. My 2020 ram i daily has 32k. Crazy. But my wife put on 15k on her new telluride in 4 months lol. You still have the srt 10 to right? Man your massing a bad ass collection of trucks!! Do you do vehicle work for a living ?

How is your oil? So clean mine is ridiculously dark. And I use T6, too. At 50K was crazy dark 10k oil change. Now im at 94k

All good with presentation with the exception of KN air filters ! They pass way to much dust . paper is All ways best filtration

Very much appreciate your content on the EcoDiesel. I purchased a 2016 in August of last year based alot on your experience. It had a dealer installed engine (5158048AH) at 152000 miles. The previous owner had it deleted but pretty much after the damage had been done on the old engine. When the dealer installed the new engine they commented, "Replaced Engine Assembly and Removed EGR System from New Motor due to Customer having Aftermarket tuner and Deleted Truck." The high pressure pump recall was noted but not done because of parts. I just received a notice that new pumps are now available. Any thoughts about potential issues getting the pump recall accomplished because of being a Deleted Truck? I would be going to a different dealer from the one who installed the new motor. I also have a recall for the PCM reprogramming due the crank position sensor issue.(FCA Recall # 66A) I am guessing that PCM programming should not be done due to the Aftermarket tuner. Continue to keep us informer on your experiences!!

Dealers won't touch a deleted truck, you will either have to put all the equipment back on it to have the new pump installed under warranty, otherwise find a new pump (good luck) and put it on yourself or find a independent diesel tech to do it out of pocket.

No EGR running eh? If EGR were running, oil would be soughted up. The Rotella is amazing in being able to hold so much, but 10K won’t happen on a stock RAM tune.

If you lived in Mexico what flash would you go with? Supposedly the EOC stage 1 and then eventually stage 2 have been good to those who live in emissions free countries. nice bump in usability as well as economy despite having 34" LT tires.

Lookup MR Tuning in Quebec Canada, he did a 2014 for me and went from 27 hwy mpg to 36 mpg other than that it's 100% stock

I own a 2018 Ram1500 that lost its crank at 55k miles. Stellantis is supposedly working with me to cut costs of repair. New engine now lists at over $19k and swapped at dealership quote was $26,500. Vehicle had been entirely serviced timely at dealership and the oil on the dipstick was black as soon as I got it home from servicing. Would love to know what you have done to keep the oil looking fresh.

my oil is black every time I change it what can I do to make it look like yours thanks. 2019 ecodiesel

EGR delete? I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee with GDE tune and 105K mi. I love the tune, but my oil is just as black as stock tuning. I do oil changes at 5K. Tell your secret please...

@Boosted Motorsports 2, what are you doing to keep your oil that clean?

The EGR diffuser tube gets so coked up, imagine how bad the intake looks. A piece of Felram gasket blocking off the EGR should fix it.

I have a 2015 ecodiesel completely stock and it’s hard to believe that’s your engine oil after 10,000 miles. You also didn’t show the oil change.

Had a 2001 Ram 2500 Cummins ..before all the emissions garbage…that truck would go 7500 miles from oil change to oil change with hardly dirtying the oil…I have a 2010 5500 and the oil is black the second you turn the engine…it’s completely intact from the factory with no issues but with less than 60k miles and I change the oil every 5000 miles or less…

Definitely got to be deleted. Mine is still under warranty but the dpf is fucked from leaving it running overnight when it wanted to Regen.

Ok. What changes/mods have been done to your ecodiesel engine to achieve such great clean oil results?

I change my oil in my ecodiesel religiously and it never looks that clean. How do you do it?

@boostedmotoresports2 what tune do you have

I own a 2019 ram 1500 5.7 it will be my last ram switching to a 6.6 vortec GMC HD 👊 This 5.7 has been eating up exhaust manifold bolts for breakfast 😡🤬

Wonder if he deleted def system

What is the difference between a k & n oil filter and just a regular oil filter is k & n oilfilter reusable

@tombryant4518

K&N is more expensive and is NOT reusable.

Wait? What? GTFOH. I have 2018 80k miles. Runs good so far I pull a 6000lb travel trailer I get about 12mpg. So my oil looks like black paint. EGR delete? I’m trying to figure out away to keep this thing running for the long haul. New trucks are to damn expensive. So recommendations would be appreciated. And I can do some research. Thanks

3rd Gen EcoDiesel much better but all new diesels still need delete

@VFRCapBob

Just bought my 3rd gen Ram Rebel 1500. CA's CARB won't allow any mods or tunes. 😢 I'm looking at a by pass oil filter system (refiner) for starters. Maybe ad a blind gasket to the egr side of the defuser pipe when I clean it. Not sure if it's that easy though.

My 2018 Ram Outdoorsman lasted 108 000 km before the engine was pooched and replaced. My maintenance was impeccable. The mechanic that dropped the new engine in said " dump this truck before the warranty expires on this engine" ( 3 years/160 000 km) because they are terrible engines and he's replaced a ton of them. Mix in 3 recalls and a delaminated media screen that was $1300 to replace and this is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned.

420 torque on my ecodiesel. Go truck yourself. Agreed on gas turbo little engines. Just plain stupid.

I got 16 mpg pulling close to max towing and get 22-24 max payload in hills, probably 25-27 flat. Mine has 195k and the oil is like any other diesel out there.
