Update on my saga. Dealer got word from Ram they wanted to replace the EGR and retest before they throw injectors at it. Replaced the EGR and they put 200 miles on it and called it good. I go pick it up and it regens as I drive it off the lot. Call the dealer and the tech states that normal for...

Another update. Ram wants to throw a new EGR before the injectors. They're gonna be 35k into a 42k truck...well done ram

quick update from my never-ending saga. Ram came out to the dealer to do more test, and now they want to throw a set of injectors at it. Tech was driving it home and like before it was regenning every 60ish miles.

Thanks for the insight. If I might ask, what fuse panel did you find that had fuses not fully installed? My truck is still at the dealer and im hoping to get it back in the coming week and would like to double-check mine.

Another update. Dealer called and states that Ram has instructed them to add another ground the battery in hopes of fixing my DPF issue. From there they have to run more test. Anyone heard of that being a real fix? Tech buddy of mine is saying it’s most likely a stuck injector which depending...

Unfortunately this is a last resort option and I’m not there yet. I genuinely like the truck. Once it’s out of powertrain it will go on a diet which will fix a majority of the issues.

Quick update. My star case was never closed, so when I dropped the truck off this AM they were able to start where they left off. The tech ran a bunch of tests and sent that data to Ram to see what they want to throw at it next. He states that the soot levels in the DPF is 5 grams, which is...

Update on my on going regen issue. When not towing my trailer I’m seeing 60ish mile regens. Within 20 miles I’ll see the regen register 1/4 in some cases. Called the dealer and ask them to set a time this week to drop it back off. The hits keep rolling because my screen on the infotainment...

I’m assuming idle time.

That would make sense. With that said drove it to work today and the DPF jumped to 25% by the time I got to work. I have a 25 mile commute that’s a mix of bumper to bumper and normal driving. My guess is on the way home it’s going to be into a regen.

I did not. Next time I’m in for service I’m going to take a photo of that screen.

Got the call, my truck was ready to get picked up. Speaking with the advisor, she states that the tech replaced the MAF and the filter and put 60 miles on the truck. In the 60 miles the there was no regens so they are going to close out the star case. Picked the truck up, and all appears well...

Quick update. The dealer called me and said they tried to do a hard reset per the RAM, and that didn't work. They are replacing the air filter (I just installed the correct filter 500 miles ago) and swapping out the MAF. From there, they will be putting 100 miles on the truck and seeing if that...

I don’t know if they reset the ECU from the DPF installed. I would hope they would if required but being in the dealer industry I can also understand if it got missed. I didn’t check my idle hours but I from trucks I was looking at before I purchased this one compared to what this was, the...

Yeah I’m getting that impression. I don’t think 1 regen in that amount of miles would be acceptable let alone 4
