Got my check this past week. Runs the same or maybe better than before. No complaints at all.

Interesting development today, there may be a new class action suit to force a buy back, seem a bunch of owners are having trouble with the AEM update especially the ones with pre 2016 year models, stay tuned...

FCA is also dragging their feed badly on the settlement checks which were supposed to be recieved in 6 weeks, bunch of lies.

So what is the proper order of doing this? I registered on the online site 6 weeks ago and have not heard anything. Called a local dealer and they were clueless. Should I go ahead and schedule an appointment to have it reprogrammed or should I wait to hear from Ram?

They are a little unclear on some of the stuff. I have had the update so my check isn't on the way and I know it.

I have read that others had to submit additional info. If your spouse is on the title you have to send in their info as well. I will have to redo this. Also there is a max document size if you exceed the size it wont go through.... it appears they do not notify you if you are lacking info or your documents have not been accepted due to file size.

I wouldn't have the re-program done until you receive your settlement package to notorize... unless you are going to replace the AEM with an aftermarket tune immediately after, which is what seem most are doing. Theres a lot of info on the ram1500diesel forums.

Interesting watch.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCmXeTJNCl8

Maybe stock 2WD with some P rated street tires on it. My brother's 5.0 F150 does worse than my Tundra

Driven the same I got money all over the F150 to do better. Same tires same set up same driving style. The ford wins easily.

So since filing all paperwork on May 17th , last Monday 12 August, I got my paperwork. May 16 is when the update was done. Paperwork came in the form of an email with attachments. Printed out, motorized and scanned back as a .pdf. Then almost within a matter of minutes get a second email response stating FCA received my documents but didn't have a record stating the update by dealer was done. I called them the next day to inquire about the response email from them. The rep stated not to worry, that's an auto generated email. I said why send out an auto generated email to people who did what was required ( got update at dealer, filed initial papers, sent notarized documents etc...) and of course no answer. He did review my electronic submissions and stated they had everything they needed. Said I would be getting a notice once check was issued and mailed out (another 6 weeks or so). I won't hold my breath for that 2 months to come again.
Bottom line is the truck occasionally has a very sluggish gas pedal. No one at dealer seems to want to help w that.
They stated we cannot find anything. If it continues I will be getting rid of the best boat pulling most fuel efficient truck I have ever owned due to safety concerns and somewhat value life over it all.
But not until I get my $3k from them. Bet on that!

Seller beware the re-sale value on these trucks is shot after the AEM is installed!!! If you would get the aftermarket tune it would save you a lot of money, I would be willing to bet you would actually just keep the truck after you feel the difference.

The 17 and 18 year models were offered with HUGE rebates, that is where the value loss is going to come from in my opinion. I could have easily bought a 17 or 18 model nicer trim level than my current 15 for less than I paid for my 15. They gave the 17's and 18's away.

Guys y’all have more faith in Fiat than I do no thanks.

Ive got as much faith in Fiat as I do GM and Ford... lol.

Ive got 73,000 absolutely trouble free miles on a full size half ton crew cab 4 door 4x4 pickup truck that gets better fuel mileage empty highway than my last 4 cylinder commuter car and gets about the same fuel mileage towing a 3000-5000 boat etc. as most gas 1/2 tons get empty. Yeah im happy with it. I average over 600 miles on a tank filling at 200 miles to empty on a 26 gallon tank for my typical work commute. I can easily got 3 weeks without filling fuel.

You ask me Ram hit this one out of the park! Sure there are some things that need some tweaking and they are doing it for the next gen, I just want to know why on earth we couldn't have had something like this in the 90's or before or after lol I would love a 30+ mpg non egr dpf scr diesel half ton.

Select dealers started giving the '16's away too late in that calender year, I think they were told to from higher up in the company, they knew were going to run into this issue in the future...
