My name is Eric and I own and run a full service salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. I've torn down everything from an LS7 to a Renesis rotary engine. There are several videos to watch! Check out my playlist of engine teardowns here:    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  

In this tear video, I tear into a 2014+ Dodge Ram Ecodiesel. This is a 3.0L Turbo DOHC Diesel engine that makes 240hp and 420tq. It comes in 2014-2020 Dodge Ram 1500 and some 2011+ Jeep Grand Cherokees. This is the VERY first eco diesel I've had my hands on and I learned a lot along the way. I definitely did a few things wrong but if this teardown proves profitable I'll be seeking more and I'll know for next time. Im not sure what caused this failure, whether it was poor maintenance, or some sort of defect like improper tolerances. Either way, this teardown whooped me pretty good. Its a lot more complicated than any of the other engines I've town down recently, and it took me twice as long. I've done my best to show the most important parts.
If you have any insight into why this type of failure would happen, please let me know. Also, if there are engines you'd like to see torn down, let me know as well!

If you'd like to buy parts from this engine or other engines I've town down, please email us at [email protected].

Thanks for watching!
