    Too much oil and poor dealer help

    Damn. Ram need's to own this. Just own it, you greedy, incompetent b@st@rds.

    Automatic Regen too often

    If your going down the LL track then do not have any contact with the manufacturer concerning a buyback. That will complicate things and possibly nullify your LL case. This is what I got from my LL attorney. According to him it's an 'either/or' kind of thing.

    Hahahaha, I forgot about the batteries causing the engine noise.

    Too much oil and poor dealer help

    Wow, just wow. Your mains must be scored as well, along with #6 cylinder wall. Who knows what else.

    22 6.7 “making oil”

    I completely agree. My dealer tech swapped out the factory orange/no strip AF with a new OEM orange/no strip AF, and they replaced both the MAFS and the boost tube with zero improvement. As I've mentioned in earlier posts, the only that has 'fixed' my regen issue so far is replacing the DPF...

    22 6.7 “making oil”

    Such horrible customer service. I, too, am sorry you're going through this, with the difference between me and cRam Cares is that I am sincere.

    22 6.7 “making oil”

    I think you should look for another dealer that takes these kinds of things seriously instead of bullshi**ing you. I had the same issue and my dealership/service manager took it very seriously. They tried a number of things to remedy it (opened 3 STAR cases that I'm aware of) and finally...

    Frequent Active Regen fix

    I haven't been monitoring the boost pressure.

    Frequent Active Regen fix

    I have run the gamut with my truck. MAFS, air filters, boost tube, fuel system pressure test, and fuel pump eval with no changes. They replaced the DPF last month and it now seems to be operating properly. Peeking through the pipe the original one "looked" okay, too, but who knows what the guts...

    Regen

    I didn't 'convince' Ram to do anything. I did have multiple P2459 codes (frequent regens), and a very good service manager/mechanic and we are keeping at it. It seems to be functioning properly now, but I won't be satisfied for another 20 -30k more miles. You might have a similar truck to mine...

    Regen

    After everything this truck has put me through I'll take whatever good news I can get. This has been a very frustrating and confounding series of events.

    Regen

    Yes, although not quite an emphatic one yet.

    Regen

    Follow up to post #191. Yesterday morning the EVIC was at 10 -12% upon startup, it then went to 30ish on the trip to my jobsite. I hauled 2 loads of gravel in my dump trailer and marveled at the passive regen taking it down to zero. I haven't seen that in a long time. I'm doing a 200 mile+ round...

    Regen

    For what it's worth, I've run the gamut with my '22 HO CTD. I drive 80:20 highway/town, tow regularly and had no regen problems until about 20,000 miles, then constant regens like you're experiencing, with equally constant fuel dilution of my crankcase. Here's what the dealership tried...

    Emergency vehicle notification.

    No offense taken, and I hear you!

    Regen

    I have the same thoughts, and that's my current concern.

    Regen

    They did show it to me. My first thought when I looked down the tube was there was nothing wrong with it, and the mechanic agreed. He did point out a small area on the screen that looked like it got very hot, but there was no visible soot or anything that looked like an obstruction on any of it...

    Emergency vehicle notification.

    There will be other clues that there's an emergency vehicle approaching... Kidding aside, I think this is a pretty good idea. I'm a retired fireman and while I think most folks comply with our request for right-of-way, they have to be able to see and hear us. That isn't always possible...

    Regen

    This is exactly what mine has been doing for months, regardless of how I drive or what fuel I use. The dealership techs replaced the DPF per STAR and I picked the truck up last Tuesday. I drove the snowy 130 mountain miles home at various speeds as the conditions required and the regen screen...

    Front Differential Growling

    It turns out my issue was actually the front driveshaft. Everything that has to do with that repair seems fine up to now.
