I just ordered and received a new Mopar filter for my 18’ and it is like the one you show. I checked everywhere and 68517554AA is the new number that supersedes 53034051AB so I hope it works as well. FCA may have changed manufacturers since they are using the same filter for the 2500 gas burners.

I don’t know how to post a link but there is a TSB on it 18-061-20 that came out August 7th this year. My truck was at the dealer September 4,2020 for a abs light and HCU replacement. I tried mine out today by running it at 1500 rpm with the radiator blocked. At 205 degrees the engine fan...

Clutch engagement percentage is controlled by the ecm by pulse width modulation. This is why I think it is programming.

Well I don’t think it can be the fan clutch since it will engage when the head pressure gets up on the a/c and since it is showing the temperature. But I’m not sure that sensor is the one that sends the signal to turn the fan on. The truck runs hotter with the a/c off.

Labor and parts came to $535.00 if I remember correctly. It was on FCA. But I don’t think it’s the clutch. I think it’s in the programming in the ECM. May have to explore installing the viscous fan clutch. After the holiday I’m going to call my dealer and see if I can get them to look at it...

Did you ever get any more information about the programming for the engine fan? I’ve got an 18’ that does the exact same thing. Pulling 7k TT through NM and AZ this past August and water temperature 230 and oil temperature 240 and engine fan never came on. It would cycle with the a/c but never...

Had the same issue with my 18’ at 13k miles. The ABS light started coming on also. Took it in to the dealer and they had to replace the Hydraulic Control Unit and bleed the brakes. No problem since. Takes about 2 hours if they have the parts. Service manager told me they were replacing 5 to 7 of...

Yeah I guess that pesky decimal point is in the wrong place. $1.679. Does that look better? I’d have to use my food stamps if it were the other.

Don’t forget Farmall.

Just filled up for 1.679 per gallon at Wally World without the.03 discount. North Louisiana. 1.98-1.99 the norm here.

Better yet, put a little epoxy on it and it will always be ready.

Congrats on getting it paid for. I wanted one for a long time but just couldn’t pony up the bucks to get it. Last September I found a holdover 18’ with 11 miles new on a dealer lot for a great deal and brought it back with me. Did a little RV ing in August (4500 miles in 2 1/2 weeks) and you are...

Thanks for the link. I checked it out and maybe the synthetic Urea doesn’t leave as much residue as the organic type. The special additive is the word “Platinum”

I do it through the fender and use the t shaped filter cap. Stuff a towel down in the bottom to catch any drips and hold the filter where I can get my hand on it. I agree that the 6 month changes are ludicrous but that’s what it takes to keep the warranty. I’ll probably change to synthetic when...

That’s what I thought but wanted to hear what other folks know about it. Maybe just a way to make more money by adding the word Platinum. They advertise it as being easier on the SCR.
