I think you were right, just drove 500 miles and it did the frequent regen for the first 200 miles along with the p2495 code but I don’t think it ever did one in the last 300, I was hauling a good load and was doing 70 MPH so it never built up any soot. I was able to clear the code about mid...

ok, good to know. I’ve been a little gun shy about the boost pressure since it happened but I think you are saying she’ll be just fine hammering her! lol.

if you would have seen the hill I was climbing and the size of the load….you might think otherwise! lol

appreciate the reply!

I did just spot this, boot isn’t fully seated but just by a bit.

I think i’m seeing like 20-25psi although i’m trying to keep it down for fear of rupturing another boot.

I actually installed it myself in the Ram dealer parking lot. They couldn’t get the part right away and couldn’t get it installed for like 3 days. I sourced it from a Ram dealer in my state, drove there, and swapped it out. Did not use a torque wrench, but luckily did not break any clamps...

Now it is doing frequent regens….which just from a few reads on this forum has been a different problem for people. I’m thinking it’s possibly related to the boot replacement I did? Maybe recheck the clamps? I still have another 500 mile trip ahead of me, any potential issues I may run into?

thanks for the input!

Hi guys, have a 2019 Ram 3500 with the 6.7L HO and blew the driver side turbo boot right before the engine while climbing a steep grade with a load of lumber. It’s the bigger 3” diameter boot. I am not an engine guy at all, and a local guy told me it would be ok to limp into the nearest town...

it’s a 2019 with 47k miles. It is throwing a P242F code (senses an ash build-up which is impossible at 47K). A post earlier that I think is correct, is that soot buildup due to incomplete regen cycles has triggered a false interpretation of the sensors by the ECM which caused the P242F code.

it seems like the dealerships are ill-equipped to properly diagnose these issues and just swapping out the DPF is what they do because it works.

yes. yes I do. I have one that weighs 7000lbs and probably has about 8000 in logs sitting on it right now. I can also easily put my 13,000lb skid steer on my equipment trailer and haul that. The problem is, that won’t clear the code. From what i have been reading (and learning), the P242F...

so 2019 with 47K might still be under warranty
