Mileage wasn't bad as far as diesel itself. Truck wasn't towing or loaded down, si that was just over 18mpg average. I would imagine running highway the whole time it wouldn't have clogged up or regened as often.
As far as def goes, before the trip it was filled up to the top with jugs and...
I ended up giving architectural a shot after the install of my third set of injectors and another new dpf. While the check engine light seems to remain off, and I'm not seeing it go into regen near as often, I seem to be burning a lot of DEF. I recently drove it from my place in southern...
Update on my truck.
After replacing several seals including the crank case, the truck would still go into regen far too often. It's getting a new dpf (again....I think its the third....but would have to check).
Part of me is hoping it doesn't "fix" the issue, as I feel a new dpf will just...
Would any of you
Did he specifically reference part shortages due to a specific reason? It seems even trucks prior the "pandemic" caused shortages have similar issues to the current 22 and up trucks.
I'm wondering if stellantis just decided to start cutting corners to increase profits and...
Reminds me of asking for a tire rotation last time. It was in the return notes, but the tires were exactly where they were when I dropped the truck off. Verified by marks and the variance in pressure front and rear.
Your truck is doing the exact same thing as mine. Yesterday they found the...
I understand the legal context.
is is, however, unfortunate. This sort of thing from a third party (ram) only hurts their brand....especially when they plaster cummins on the side of the trucks as a sales point.
I would think that anytime there is something that they diagnose, that could contaminate oil, they should be replacing it anyhow. Unfortunately, your truck sounds like mine with the regen cycles.
Just today I drove in to pickup my truck and was told that they "finally saw what I was talking...
Well looks like I'm getting the truck back tomorrow. Their new answer is a $7 intake seal.
Can't make this sort of thing up. Replace cheap parts and give it back. Stellantis and their entire dealer network are useless. I have lost all faith.
Based on age, mileage and depreciation from purchase price....I don't really know if it's worth it. Plus, I don't really want them buying it back and just selling it off to an unsuspecting person.
Sadly, with the dilution I experienced, I wouldn't be surprised if the motor itself is now fried. "Fixing it" would probably just buy me time until it implodes
Well my truck went in again for frequent Regens. The dealership had to change the oild under warranty last go around thanks to injectors leaking diesel into the oil. That said, I am now being asked about my fuel filter replacement, as though I don't keep logs or it is somehow my fault.
I am...
I'll ask when I go in late next week. That said, everytime I ask a question I get the "our technicians will have to diagnose it with Stellantis, I don't want to lead them. Also, when was the last time you changed the oil and filters? You probably aren't driving it hard enough". Then they swap a...
