No ECO's are showing up on the "Build and Price" for 2018 1500's, anyone know why?

[THAECOD]

I was playing around on the 2018 Build and Price website for the 1500's and noticed that the ECO wasn't a power train option, are they discontinuing the ECO?

 

[JJJ]

Not discontinued. As a matter of fact it will be carried over to the 2019 new generation Ram. I believe you can order the 2018 through the dealer. The 2018's will overlap with the 2019 production.

The 2018 Ecodiesel has been emissions certified for 2018, finally!

Its shown on the engine options now. Jeep is also showing the eco as available again in the GC.

Ford article says no diesel option on the '19 Ram 1500.

Then this Ford article says the '19 Ram is getting a new diesel.

A visit to my local dealer yesterday revealed that they can order me a 2018 right now. They advised me to wait as the new model will have improved MPG to take the segment back from the new F150 3.0 diesel that has just been released.

I read somewhere they are scheduled for late production in 2018.

I'm waiting on the final decision by DOJ and the 2019 Model, Lots of unknowns at this point with the 3.0 and ED... FCA would have to convince Me that the QC issue's at Cento have been Resolved on the 3.0, I still would prefer the 4.0 FPT Engine......

There is at least one guy on the ram1500diesel forum that already has his MY18 ED in driveway.

 

[DonFitzwater]

Brand new 18 Ecodiesel sitting on my dealers lot as of yesterday.

I just foamed My intake for the 4th Time in 40K miles (10K miles last cleaning and stationary de-soot) its was fifthly.This time I ran with the actuator running. it was twice as dirty as the last time...W/O actuator plugged in. I never thought I would say this, If your going to keep your ED 3.0 it must be deleted or tuned to stop EGR. Its extremely unlikely I will purchase another 3.0. Unless convince of changes....

I will put up with the occasional P245B running Actuator off until gone. I clear it with IQ and NO operating trouble when on.
