    I have a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee overland 3.0L eco diesel I had a “ service def “ message pop up on screen without a check engine light, then switched to “ vehicle won’t restart in XXx service def “ the dealer found an exhaust leak, $1200 fix, once leak was fixed they cleared codes and took...

    Hello everybody, Thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Ted and I am in the process of purchasing a 20 16, 2500 pro Master high roof. The plan is to mostly use this for work, but will be using it as a daily driver as well. This one comes with the in-line 4 diesel. Wondering if anyone with...
  3. Diesel Promaster Discussion
    I had occasionally been throwing codes for #3 misfire while idling.... On a slight downhill slope, a few miles after 'low fuel' light illuminated, van sputtered and quit while waiting at an intersection. Usually I would expect 40-50 miles left at this point. Attempted to restart a few times...

    The other day I noticed a loss of power while driving at 70 mph for about 20 minutes in my 3500 Diesel ProMaster. No dashboard warnings. I plugged in my OBDII WiFi while I was driving and saw no warnings and engine temp was 119f. I pulled over and the engine died. I checked catalytic converter...

    Seems that the mechanical issues with our diesel PM are just never ending. The van is currently sitting in the shop awaiting a turbo replacement after just turning over 75xxx mile. Apparently the vanes on the turbo aren't budging at all and it isn't the actuator. I was supposed to be halfway...

    My name is Elliot. I recently bought a 2015 ram promaster 2500 Diesel (136,000 miles). After driving it about 4 hours it started shifting heavily and shifted into neutral. The check engine light came on and “service transmission” displayed on the dash. I was unable to shift it back into gear...

    Hello great hive mind, I am planning on installing a diesel heater under the passenger seat as so many people have also done. I've watched a lot of videos and everyone seems to skim over "just drop the heatshield" during the install videos/documentation. I was expecting to just find the black...

    Hey All, I'm completely new to this forum, diesel engines, and Promasters so respond with that in mind lol. I bought a used 2015 Promaster 1500 Diesel with 120k miles on it for a small side business I wanted to start this summer. I got the van last winter and while I cleaned it up and remodeled...

  11. Engine and Technical Discussion
    Well don't know where to start. Long story short fuel was put into my diesel promaster and I found out after van broke down. It seems that it was in there for a few weeks probably and guessing maybe a few gallons. Well does anyone have any suggestions as to where to start. Was driving and...

    2014 Diesel PM. Bought used from private seller with roughly 40xxx miles on it. Currently has just under 70xxx. I have just recently started driving it regularly in a city environment and am realizing that the parking situation is a big issue. It has become almost impossible for me to park...
  13. Diesel Promaster Discussion
    I thought it might be a good idea to make a list of the dealerships we have encountered with our Diesel Promasters. We do a lot of traveling and your local shop may be on our route. Most of us know that not all Ram Dealers can actually work on Diesel Promasters. I don't need a long detailed...

    Thanks for the add to the forum. An introduction is required so: Have had a Sprinter van purchased as a tin can when Dodge was going banko about 2008, outfitted it as a weekend van which has been reconfigured for multiple adventures including an on and off again trip around the entire...
  15. Diesel Promaster Discussion
    Hello fellow diesel owners, I am coming up on an oil change in the next thousand miles and want to clean out both carbon from in the engine and also clean my DPF (ideally before the next oil change). I'm pretty sure the engine could use it as I have had to idle the engine for heat while working...
  16. Diesel Promaster Discussion
    2014 159" Diesel 52,000 miles. Wondering if anyone has ever had this happen: The DEF Low Refill Soon message appeared, but the tank is full. My mechanic (not a dealer shop) is able to imitate the sensor with the scan tool so we are pretty sure it not an electrical issue. Could the tank level...

    Our poor van (2016 3500, extended, diesel) has been sitting in COVID19 quarantine, in storage south of Boston since October 2019. Our normal MO is to fly down from Anchorage AK where we live and use it for extended trips of 4-7 weeks, usually in spring and fall. Because of COVID we are...

    Hi - Never posted - but own 2015 Promaster 3.0L Turbo diesel 58K miles. Stranded 400 miles from home 2 months ago in LIMP and still not fixed. #1 ETC Light comes on along with Check Engine light - we continue our trip - key on/off removes ETC but only for a while (20 miles or so sometimes...

    I have a 2016 Diesel that will be reaching the end of the factory warranty in the next few months. Is it possible to buy an extended powertrain warranty from FCA to cover the expensive bits related to engine and emissions? I'm in Canada and our powertrain warranty was 5 years/100,000km. I...

    I have 2014 PM 3500 with 140,000 miles on it. It is a diesel with the automatic manual transmission. Just got it a month ago, built it into a camper, and am currently on a 2 week trip in the PNW with it. Here is the problem. Anytime I am going down hill the van doesn't seem to want to shift...
