Yes, I opened a Geno's account when I sourced my new correct air filter.

Thanks for the intel. I've been doing some further reading and given that my truck has no symptoms of EGR problems, and that the manual has no maintenance requirements spelled out for the EGR system, I'm going to cancel my appointment and just do the CCV replacement myself.

Well, time to recalibrate. It was foolish to assume that RAM's version of 'bumper to bumper' would measure up to Ford's (which I had on my 2011 dually and was excellent). I will confirm what this planned service is going to cost and go from there. Changing the CCV is no big deal but the question...

Well, at risk of being insulted for my decisions, I have a RAM Maximum Care policy, Option Code WMT8100N. This is bumper to bumper coverage for 8 years or 100,000 miles. If I have the misfortune of requiring a DPF replacement in the next 25,000 miles it will cost me a $200 deductible payment...

Who said I have a standard warranty?

I could easily do the replacement myself but with a potential warranty issue involving emission systems I'm happier having the worked done by the dealer and logged with Stellantis. It's an abundance of caution perhaps.

The reference I saw on line for the 'Perform Service' message did indicate it was time/mileage based and was to change the CCV. I mentioned this to the service writer as I expected to have a one hour appointment or so. She advised that they need the truck for 2 to 5 days of diagnostics as a...

Well, I made it to Page 92. I was hoping for that 'silver bullet', especially since the rate of growth of this thread has slowed down so much. Here's what I think I know: I have a 3500SRW SO 6.7. I took delivery in January of 2022, in the days when chips were in short supply. I routinely tow a...

Thanks for the newfound knowledge. How is the average owner expected to know this?

Well, I ran down a freeway, got to my destination, let it idle 3 or 4 minutes, then got back on the freeway and noted that the warning cleared before I got to my final destination and shut the truck off. In addition to the warning going away I checked the DPF graphic and it showed 'empty'. Are...

It's a 2022 RAM 3500 Limited SRW long bed.

The first time it happened I was able to stay on a freeway. The second time, I had to stop at a business and drop something off. I left the truck running for the 3 or 4 minutes that it took.

I just ordered the Archoil 6400 d. Expensive, but looks a whole lot cheaper than a DP filter. It might take a month or two to decide if it's helping, but I'll stick with it for at least a few months and hopefully things will improve. Thanks Everyone!

Interesting. I've been towing heavy quite a lot lately, so I don't suspect that. Also, the first time was up in Canada and the second time was down here in Texas. Bad fuel would be quite a coincidence but who's to say? I did fill up in Canada at a station that was probably 'low volume'. I...

I've suspected RAM has pushed another software update to my truck. After about 70k miles, I got this message "Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Continue Driving". This happened about a month ago. I was in a position to get on a freeway and after about 25 miles the message finally...
