Man, that sucks. You are in the right, though, and hopefully holding that dealer's balls to the fire will result in a new engine or new truck for you. That dealer needs to do the right thing,
2015 ecodiesel with blown motor at 14,000 mies
I bought a new 2015 Ecodiesel six months ago and at 14,000 miles the motor has a real load knock when I was driving on highway. I had it towed to the dealer that I bought it from, and the tech said the motor is toast. Ram won't cover warranty because after doing a little research, we found out the that won't cover warranty (I bought the extended warranty) due to the wrong oil in motor. I bought the oil from other Ram dealer, gave them my VIN # and they gave us the filter and 2.5 gallons of oil. They're receipt has my VIN # on it, they gave me 15w-40 should've been 5w-30. Any advice? Lawyer up? Anyone else heard about this problem? Will different oil blow a motor in 4000 miles after change?

Great news - are they putting a new engine in or getting you a new truck?
Can't imagine the engines are easy to get since VM Motori can't make them fast enough even to keep up with the production lines. They should give you a loaner.
