    Automatic Regen too often

    I did the drill with my '22 and they finally replaced the DPF. The truck now seems to be (dis)-functioning as designed, but I monitor the soot load closely and drive accordingly. I no longer have frequent regens, but it still sucks and it's a poor design. If there was a reliable and affordable...

    Changes to DEF Limp Mode

    I just paid $350 bucks for a gawdamm key fob for my Jeep. And the parts guy gave me a 'deal'. I doubt Stellantis or the dealerships will cut off a potential revenue source by actually doing the right thing by providing good customer service.

    Changes to DEF Limp Mode

    I just went through a DEF derate about a month ago. I live in far northeast, remote and very rural California. While traveling home from a trip the "Service DEF System, See Dealer" warning came up and gave me 91 miles before derate. My closest dealership, which is my dealer, was 110 miles away...

    Occasional Buzz From 8.4 Console

    I have been getting an occasional loud buzz/electronic hum through the speakers of my 22 Ram on startup. I will shut it all down and restart, and it functions normally until I shut it down. After turning the engine off the radio would shut down when I opened the door, but now it stays on until...

    Ah, modern globalism. Maximum cost, minimum value.

    Too much oil and poor dealer help

    According to an attorney I have recently become acquainted with Stellantis is gushing cash over many of these trucks as well. Not a huge hit in and of itself, but losing that loyal customer base will be a huge hit. I am in a modest income bracket, but have purchased 7 new Rams and 3 new Jeep...

    Good grief, Ram/Stellantis should be ashamed of themselves. They're not, but they should be.

    I think they have an overabundance of European arrogance and hubris. That has never played well with we Yanks. Our Declaration of Independence spells that out nicely.

    Automatic Regen too often

    There's every indication that Stellantis is cratering. But hey, their latest creation is an extended range EV truck with a Pentastar ICE that recharges the batteries as you drive ( https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a39038431/ram-1500-ev-truck-range-extender-report/ ). Lee Iacocca is rolling in...

    Automatic Regen too often

    Okay, here's a new twist. Yesterday the EVIC soot gauge gets into the 30% range we're all familiar with so I take on my usual passive regen trip. I'm at about 20 hrs since the last timed one so I figure things are more or less normal, at least for this piece of junk. I have noticed passive...

    Too much oil and poor dealer help

    My guy has said the same thing. I should know soon about the legal remedy I'm pursuing, but if I keep it it will immediately be unburdened by what has been...

    As well as integrity and credibility.

    Automatic Regen too often

    The Archoil does seem to improve at least the regen problem a little. Between a transfer tank full of fuel and steel lumber rack I'm carrying an extra 1000# so I might not notice the throttle response.

    Too much oil and poor dealer help

    Spot on. The likelihood of me buying a new Ram ever again is rapidly waning. And I've been buying a new one every 4 - 5 years for the past 28 years. Stellantis and unscrupulous, careless dealerships have destroyed the brand.

    Automatic Regen too often

    After DPF replacement mine functioned much like yours. For about 4 months. The regen issue is getting cranky again with a couple of low mileage interval soot based regens recently. I'm still getting passive regens, but they're taking longer and I have to work the truck harder. I run 295/70/18...

    Exactly what I was thinking as well.
