I do not have the plug end. What I have for sale is the actual heating element itself. The part that threads into the engine block and actually heats up.

I’m going to guess and go with: Upstream issue. Something under the hood causing the engine to produce more soot (or other contaminants like ash from engine oil or coolant ). Have they performed a soot load verification test?

Yes. This is a “thing”, but not applicable to the North American market. Not sure why specifically. Note that the “NA” (North American) box is not checked under the “market applicability” section, and to my knowledge, no bulletin for the NA market exists with this additive recommendation.

Doubtful the station manager would even be “in-the-know” on such things. Especially if it’s a chain operated station.

Yep! In Pennsylvania, all on-road fuel is mandated to B2 minimum (2% biodiesel blend). Most pumps are not labeled because they run within the B2-B20 range. Occasionally I’ll encounter labels like this, but as you said, you really don’t know for sure:

If you call the corporate office for that fuel station chain, they can usually put you in touch with a fuel specialist who handles all the fuel buying and handling operations for the chain. They’ll know what depot it comes from and what the fuel composition is.

Based on everything you said, my guess would be your brain is “adding” the “continue driving” portion of the message. Next time it goes into regen, take a look at the message you see and snap a pic. From what you’re saying, it should not say “continue driving”

No. There are two distinctly different messages. Normal regeneration message is: “Automatic exhaust system regeneration in progress” The “intervention strategy” regeneration message is: “Automatic exhaust system regeneration in process continue driving” The normal message is what you...

iDash is read-only. No issues with warranty. Dealership SM’s and SA’s love to flex power whenever they can. Ultimately the warranty decisions are handled by RAM, not the dealership. Again, the burden of proof lies on the manufacturer’s shoulders.

It’s not much larger than a current 6.7. Remember the engines sole purpose is to be a direct replacement for the B6.7 commercial engines currently in use. They can’t make it substantially larger because it would require every manufacturer who uses that power plant to dramatically alter their...

My 2022 was bone stock. Never modified in any way. I had a Banks iDash monitor in it so I could monitor DPF functions but aside from that it was untouched. Each dealer handles bolt-on stuff differently. There’s no rhym or reason to it. Some will turn a blind eye, some won’t. Corporate however...

Fretting and the block “flexing” has been noted in the past, especially by several well known performance houses, including Choate. This video (Click Here For YouTube Video) is a good one to watch. The guys from Choate discuss this starting at the 50:00 min mark onward.

Oh it’s definitely a given. These were 100% quality control / manufacturing issues. Not design issues.

Both the lifter bodies and the rollers that attach to them can cause premature lifter failure. The chief mode of failure, when referring to the lifter body as the culprit, is the roller axle bore. If that bore is drilled / machined on any angle other than parallel to the cam shaft, it causes...

That’s a reality that becomes more and more clear to me each day!

Those grooves around the upper neck of the lifter body are not oil related. They are tooling marks intentionally placed there to identify which manufacturer (or specifically which production line) each lifter body was manufactured by. There are, or at least were, up to 5 different “versions” of...

It’s still not a huge problem. Huge if you’re unfortunate enough to get a bad lifter. But on the whole, the lifter failure issue is very similar in nature to the grid heater failure in terms of its proliferation. Yes they fail. No they aren’t failing in massive numbers. Big enough to be a...

There are multiple 2023 and 2024 trucks on the response spreadsheet. They’re just not entered into the spreadsheet you can see. I haven’t had the free time to transpose them from the response form to the visible spreadsheet. Too many irons in the fire for me right now.

What are the drive hours?
