Check with your local Dealer there is a new Campaign to fix these or get reimbursed for work done.

You are the one of de kind great mechanic you should be a mechanic trainer… God bless you!

I bought the parts just in case. Never know today with poor parts availability. 160,000 + miles on my Ecodiesel, no problems yet...

[@brucenorton3792]

Thanks for the Video! Question - did you have to replace all of the transmission fluid?

[@ralfsautomotive]

No I added roughly a quart

[@richardmackin413]

Why did you not check for play in the bearings. It would be a concern to me on how the sensor and ring were worn. But some great input on this. Thanks

[@ralfsautomotive]

A little reading would have revealed that it is never ever a bearing problem! It is the Material Chrysler used on the back of an engine where all the heat is. Never had a failed sensor but in light of how much time it takes to change one and considering they are relatively inexpensive I always stick a new one in there.

Great video. Is this repair fixed under warranty, even after the factory warranty is expired? Currently, they offer pnly one fix: a flash of the software. How often have you seen this happen? What percentage of Ecodiesels will this happen to? I have a 2016 Ram Ecodiesel. thx

[@ralfsautomotive]

I have seen 2 but as I said it is covered under warranty

[@Marcoantonio-ep7cp]

The scanner you have is Autel, what series of scanners?

[@gumbhercules]

"Chrysler products aint worth a darn..." You said it, brother! My ecodiesel has been nothing but trouble. Going to attempt this on a buddy's lift then trade it in as fast as I can. FCA, right next to VW for contempt of customer and "What can we get away with" behavior.

[@ralfsautomotive]

There is a campaign now to get it fixed. I would check on that!!

[@bjager459]

What is that magnet called you had to replace?

[@ralfsautomotive]

That was part of the tone ring. It is magnetic.

Don't agree with the comment on the Valvoline Max life tranny oil, got it in my Ecodiesel and no problems after changing the filter and fluid, going on 2 years thousands of miles, zero problems so far.

How many hours does the repair take

[@ralfsautomotive]

How fast are You? LOL 6hrs

[@brandonkirby4153]

why is it you have to drain the coolant

[@ralfsautomotive]

I removed the cooler on the side. I did not drain the coolant. I replaced the seal.

[@zhehuiliu138]

How much is cost for this repair?

[@ralfsautomotive]

All over depending on what you do! Ford replaces everything. Is it a must, in my opinion No

[@scottash2866]

Who ever design it to be on the back behind the transmission instead on front needs slapped. Just like the turbo being on the back of the motor to need slap more lol

[@JDA77]

What’s a job like that cost?

[@ralfsautomotive]

This cannot be answered every shop has a different rate I quoted 6.5 hrs to do the job.

[@bm3334]

How many hours does the repair take

[@ralfsautomotive]

Depends 7-8
